Early on, I could only read for a few minutes. I even tested my reading and found I often crashed at about 800 words. On bad days, I would crash by 200 words. I learned to slowly build up my reading efforts.
The first thing I learned was simple. If I find myself rereading a line, especially rereading it over and over, it is time to stop and do something else. I would get stuck in a sort of trace rereading a line that was not getting into my brain.
So, try slowly building up your reading endurance.
I also needed to avoid certain writing styles. Too many descriptors and complex sentences were problematic. I could usually determine if I could read that writer's style within the first few paragraphs.I did not try to push through.
Hope you can find your reading balance.
My best to you.
