Hi guys.
I'm at my wits end here. Basically i'm am not able to remember what I have just read. E.G. Say I am reading about 3 themes which make up a principle or idea, by the time I get to the 2nd or 3rd theme I will have forgotten not only what the 1st theme was about but also it's name/heading.

My reason for posting this now (so late in life) is that I have been battling with it day to day for many years now. I have spoken to doctors and mental doc's but to no avail. I want to start a collage course but god damm it this is getting in the way.

This not only effects my reading/study but also applies when listening to others. It can sometimes come across that i'm not interested. I'm pretty sure that this is the reason I am at the level I am in my current job.

I'm now 31 and this is a problem which as plauged me my entire life. For example when in school the teacher used to take up all her teaching time on me by asking me questions on the previous subject - history as it happens. It felt like a constant fight/struggle to her to extract the answer from me. At times I got the answer wrong but when I learned it I never forgot it. For me it felt that there was/is something wrong with me.

I'm really not a fan of tablets's and such but i'm not ignorant to the idea of why people take them.

Any, any direct feedback would be very much appreicated. Even feedback on the most appropriate foums to post on or where I can find them would be a help.
