    I’m not sure if posts like this are allowed here, but my reading slump has really taken a toll on me.

    Since mid-December, I haven’t been able to finish a single book. I’ve tried reading across different genres—some books even started off interesting—but I eventually lose interest and end up DNF-ing them.

    The more time passes, the more I start to hate these books, even the ones I initially enjoyed. At first, I thought I was just picking bad books, but after trying so many, I’ve realized the problem might be me.

    Reading is so important to me and my mental health, so this feels awful. I’m scared that I’ll never enjoy books again, and I can’t let that happen.

    Unfortunately, no one in my life is serious about reading, so I don’t have anyone to rant to.

    I just want to know: does this happen to you too? How do you get back on track? At this point, no book feels interesting anymore, and I get frustrated over the smallest details not meeting my expectations. Maybe my depression is creeping back, but not reading is definitely making me feel worse and less happy.

    1. Intentionally stop for a month. 

      Don’t pick up a book. Let your brain reset itself in regard to reading and try again after a break.
