How can I get myself to read theory? (lemmygrad.ml)

First post even though I've had an account for months. So basically I have ADHD and am autistic, on top of that I'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 can'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'm making this thing. It's not by any means complete, but maybe it helps?

It's... Dry, and mechanical. But it exists.

And then there's the study group in lemmygrad, which is... A bit slow, but you can start the posts and do your own reviews. Probably will cause people to join you. :)

How would you like to read/study it?

I will agree that many things are really hard to understand without context. I was reading Lenin on what is to be done, and the multiple groups he mentions just don't make any sense to me.

Maybe it should trigger me to make notes and go after the names. But life happens, you know?

Anyway, that's my struggle, you're not alone. :)
