I'm really wondering, is it possible to have a reading OCD? I don't think I have OCD... I have a little bit of a problem touching things, but only things where I have seen something unsanitary happen to it. For example, if someone finishes eating (in which they licked their fingers), does not wash their hands, and then touches a drawer, I have trouble touching that drawer because I remember that moment. but other than that, I have no OCD issues... except while reading. I pretty much cannot enjoy reading anymore. I have to reread every sentence and paragraph until it "feels right". If I do not reread sections, I feel like I'm missing part of the story, so I have to go back and read the parts over and over until either I feel okay about moving on, or I have to give up on the book because I'm getting a headache. My mom says this sounds like OCD, and I have to agree. I don't know what to do about it though.... I used to be such a good reader. I had to have a book with me at all times, and I would spend full days reading without any problem. and now I get frustrated and give up after only a few pages. when I first start a book, I can read ok... and when it is in the book's ending scenes, normally I can read ok...I just have a major problem reading the middle of books. I can read magazines fine, I read online fine... I'm getting worried, the college I'll be going to in fall is very focused on reading. the classes require that students read a lot of books each quarter. I don't think I've read a book for school all the way through since the 9th grade... I'm pretty alright at pretending I've read the books (and I will usually just skim the online summaries)... but I think it will be harder to get away with doing that in college. v_v has anyone else heard of a reading OCD like this? and is there anyway at all to get better without going on medication? because I don't want to have to do that, if I'm fine in other areas of my life... I was considering taking a speed reading class, but I don't think that will help.. any advice will be very apreciated
