First post even though Iโ€™ve had an account for months. So basically I have ADHD and am autistic, on top of that Iโ€™ve always struggled with self discipline and motivation. All of this has been made worse by a traumatic event causing me severe depression that I canโ€™t seem to get out of. I genuinely want to read theory to become a better Marxist but I can barely manage a few pages at a time before giving up. Any ideas?

I also have a hard time forcing myself to read theory. I listen to audio versions while doing other things, but I need to take notes and discuss it with others to truly understand a text. It might be helpful to join a reading group like the GenZedong/GenZhou theory discussion group on Matrix; at the moment, we read at a slow pace and have biweekly discussions (in addition to any impromptu conversations in the meantime, although the bulk tends to be every other weekend)
