This happens sporadically. I have severe OCD and Depression, and I'm uncertain if it has anything to do with my mental illness. I've suspected I have Dyslexia for a long time, perhaps since I was eleven years old.
I'll read a sentence, and it just won't fucking make sense. At all. I'm not sure as to why, I'll keep re-reading it but it just won't make sense whatsoever. This happens a lot when I'm reading or studying. It'll be an immensely simple sentence, but it just won't make sense, sometimes I'll stop what I'm doing because it gets so goddamn frustrating.
This happens with numbers as well. I'll look at a number say, 76. And I genuinely think it says 67. I don't know what this is. If anybody sympathizes, I'd love to discuss it.
It's quite confusing, Isn't it? Thank you so much for your input though! Any "diagnosis" would be incredibly helpful. I've been doing research as to what this could be for as long as I can remember it starting.
One last light one, have you tried going to the eye doctor? I had a similar type of issue in highschool when I didn't have the proper glasses prescription. I could read the words, but they were hard to read and that made parts of words disappear and made it difficult to focus on the sentence as a whole.
I've been to the eye doctor and they said I have an astigmatism in my left eye. It's not interfering with my day-to-day life yet, they said it's genetic and still forming.
Oh that might actually be it then, I have a minor one and reading at any distance is really hard with it because your eyes can't agree on what you're seeing. Try and read with one eye closed next time and see if that helps. If it does, you definitely need glasses, lasix, or contacts to correct the astigmatism
Thank you so much for your help, I appreciate it so much! I'll tell the ophthalmologist next time I go!
Until then definitely try switching to one eye when you're having issues
I will!
