This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

You can build up literacy like a muscle. I can read a lot if I forget to take my ADHD worsener (valproic acid), but even with that I can sometimes "rawdog" it.

This, I used to read a lot, even with my ADHD.

But for some reason I stopped, and now I struggle to focus reading.

Brains gravitate to the quickest easiest dopamine responses, and will ignore things that give rewards slower. ADHD brains are particularly bad for this.

I have the exact same issue. If I was able to give up scrolling social media, I'm sure I'd be back on the books again inside of a few weeks. We'll just have to wait for the great collapse.
