Funny, I have the opposite problem. I used to spend most of my free time reading fic (as an extension of just reading), then gradually I stopped. It got to the point where I couldn't concentrate long enough to read even a short ficlet from my favorite author and when I tried to force myself, it felt like a chore rather than a pleasure. It was a big factor in me seeking out help. Of the whole mess of problems I have, one of the first things I said to my therapist was "I can't read anymore".

While we have opposite situations, the feeling that part of your life that you used to enjoy has gone sour and is now out of your control sucks ass. Get help, OP, and if you are getting help and aren't getting better then seek out better help. You deserve better, OP, you deserve to be in control of your life and to get a satisfactory level of enjoyment out of your hobbies, rather than letting them control you.

It's called, you grew out of it. It happens to all of us at one point, where other things grab our focus instead.

If you'd actually PAID ATTENTION to the post instead of just assuming you knew what they were going through you would have noticed that it wasn't them moving on to a new thing, it was them losing interest in a hobby they previously enjoyed - which is a symptom of various mental issues.

It wasn't just fanfic, it was any reading at all. Yeah, I did grow out of a lot of things, but not being able to concentrate long enough to read a full paragraph of anything for pleasure is kinda worrying. Especially when you want to do it but physically can't bring yourself to.
