Poll Do You Have Difficulty Reading with PTSD?

[Ronin]

I'm kind of back to reading comprehension being ten circles of shit, so taking it small until I heal up.

Regardless, annoyed for the temporary setback. That trauma does it commonly is a good reminder.

I had a really hard time when I was really activated and still trying to study - I ended up spritzing articles and web pages Spritz you don't have to scan the page a word at a timepops up on screen and the central letter is coloured red and in the same position - you can set the words per minute speed and read really fast - My psych says the eye movement and peripheral vision distracts us as we look for danger so by using your central vision - you don't get as distracted - I don't recommend it as your normal all day reading method because I think use it or lose it we need to have muscle movement and variability - but if there is something you need to read and understand try it- it helped me heaps with long articles. You can pause it to take notes and then start again

I don't know if this will work for me, but thanks for your idea, @eloc. :-)

I always thought this was the depression that was making it hard. Now, not so sure. Maybe a combination?
