Honestly I don't think anyone would blame you for not reading at all during this time. All you should worry about is staying as mentally healthy as possible, fren.

What are you on? Ive been on several medications (not at the same time) at this point and most of them after a period for a week to a couple months where you'll be in a sort of buzzy, unfocused headspace, almost like a nicotine high, but it does pass. Meds range from imperfect lifesavers to extremely destructive depending on you and your reaction, but in general they have enormously improved my productivity and output as a writer. I won't say that mental illness doesn't give any inspiration, but don't worry you're not going to lose your anxiety any time soon, the idea is just to keep it at bay long enough to live like a normal person as much as you can -- which for me has definitely manifested in being able to read and write much more consistently. Excercize, diet, and other healthy habits aren't memes, they're jusy as necessary as meds. Good luck anon, wish you the best.

Who do you do backpacking and guiding for? I've been on some trips out there it's possible I've heard of them.

And I'm really happy for you anon. I know life currently being better doesn't make up for the trauma of the past but you sound like a genuinely impressive person. If you have any writing I would love to read some, and if not I think you should try and write something.
