and to me the saddest thing about having ptsd was for many years I was too ill and mentally tired to read books. ( other than a few specialist psychiatry books ) So lacking in mental stamina I couldn't even watch movies
so now when I watch movies I really appreciate it. I still don't read as much as I used too. This is something that still gives me real grief 😔
These are the small steps to recovery and good on you. You may not read as much as you used too, but you're also probably living a completely different life that you may not have the time to read as much.
But you read or listen to audiobooks and watch movies and that's just as good.
Hugs. It can come back eventually. Now I am at the point where when I start to lose interest in music or I can't concentrate to read that it's a signal and I know I am gonna need to do something to stop the slide back.
Its an amazing feeling as those things start to come back. I am glad you have movies back.

abuse takes so much away from a person

time, I have nothing but time 😔
to me reading and watching is also learning , I think about what I have "consumed"
writers and artists put so much effort in the work, they want to entertain or educate ,
first read and watch is for entertainment, the second and further I think a bit more
