My focusing problems are making it hard to enjoy myself...

Post Reply New Topic

I have very bad focusing problems brought on by my AD/HD. My problems have gotten progressively worse. I absolutely love reading, and could easily focus on it in the past, but now my problems are so bad I can't even focus on it. My adderall usually helps, but I'm only allowed to have it during school. I really want to read in the summer (now), but I just CAnf focus! Does anyone else have an approach I can take to helping this problem?!

Adapt the activity to your ADHD rather than adapting yourself to the activity? Audiobooks instead of reading? Take lots of breaks so you don't have to focus for long periods of time?

Also, are you sure that you don't have eye problems that prevent you from focusing? Like Irlen syndrome?
