I used to be an avid reader, but years of high school and depression completely ruined that. I haven't been able to complete a novel since senior year six years ago. It's frustrating to me and I want to know how I can overcome my lack of focus and anxiety. I've heard I'm not alone when it comes to this sort of thing at least.

E: I wasn't expecting so many replies. Thank you, all of you, for the ideas.

I've been reading ebooks on my phone mostly. I turn the screen as dark as possible and I can change the background to black or yellow so my eyes don't get too sore. Not ideal though. I kind of got me back into reading, but I don't read as much as I used to anymore. I do however listen to A LOT of audio books while doing things like cleaning, cooking and drawing.
