Is the time running fast for you or very slow?

[blueclover_.]

Time runs so fast for me. I remember waking up in the morning two days ago but it feels like yesterday. I do the same things everyday and then boom it's December.

I remember I was inpatient during New Years when I had just turned 17, and I commented with a nurse that time had been passing so fast. Her answer was that she had heard once time passes very fast when the end of the times is approaching (you know those silly beliefs about the end of the world having a known date and etc) and I always kind of interpreted that as my time is getting near year by year, which would make sense.
I'm dissociated like 100% of the time lmao so I feel like time passes very fast. It's not just that though. I feel like I'm living in the same, torturous day and it'll have no end. I think this is partly because I don't want to die, I simply have no choice but to.

OMG yes!!! In my former religion (Islam) it says that time feels faster if the end of the world is near. Now i wonder if it just means that my world/life is going to end.

Both at the same time really.

Everday invidiual day passes by glacially slow, but I will blink and already months or a year will have gone by, which puts me in a state of disbelief.

Same here. Each hour feels like a year, yet each year feels like an hour.

 

[PDAnnie2610]

Excruciatingly slow.

 

[Flying Away]

Everyday is slow. The pain testers tearing into my very being. Waiting on supplies makes time seem even slower

People always say to pick up new hobbies and try to meet new people. But I found that I can't relate to most people and a lot of hobbies require other people to enjoy. The past few years have just been a blur. Like one really long week. When everyday is exactly the same it is hard to get a sense of time.

Ive tried to get into new hobbies but everything is just so boring and mundane to me now. I get what you're saying about life just being a big blur, I lose track of the days all the time, everyday just feels the same to me, like crap.

Time feels unbearably fast for me, but that might be because of college. Just feels like there's never enough time for any of the requirements, and it just gets worse and worse as they pile up.

My friends always tell me how fast they experiencing the time running. I simply don't get it. Not for me. Every day is suffering, crisis mode and existential problems.
I am worrying so much my sorrows overwhelm me.
I currently have gotten more somatic problems. Additionally to all my mental problems. My friends say they are overwhelmed by my daily talking about my daily suffering. And I think I should leave SS due to the NYT article. So many of my coping mechanisms are shit now. I probably should even stop gaming because my fingers get numb from it.
I would now need a forum like this more than ever. But it seems to become too heated for me. I don't know what to do...
I recognize I more and more subconsciously cope by thinking more about suicide. I have the urge to watch David Forster Wallace videos about depression and suicide. This also happened during my last severe depression.

Slow as fuck

 

[Painless_end]

This is an excellent question and one of the most fundamental ones that perhaps all of us should ask ourselves.

Well done.

I have realized this question is more important than most others that I will ask myself ever.

It's gone fast for me, but thats cause im waiting for the worst, the entire year ive been waiting to hear if i go to jail on false charges my ex gave me for leaving him after 7 years. Like after i turned 30 everything is like shit being thrown at you all at once through one of those industrial sized fans

 

[soundsinteresting]

Fast but not fast enough

 

[Manaaja]

Both.

I read an interesting study. When women like something, time feels slower for them. But when men like something, time feels faster for them.

Of course, when people get older and in some other cases, time often feels faster regardless of the gender, so whether time feels slower or faster doesn't always reveal one's gender.

 

[Chronicillness]

Life has never moved faster for me.

That is what happens when you don't have any meaningful events in your life to remember it by. The years keep slipping on by. I don't want to wake up one day old, bitter and alone because I was too afraid to ctb. I already curse my younger self for not being able to ctb. The buck stops here.

Last 2 years have been a blur to me. It was a gradual descent to rock bottom after a depressive phase started. I've a hard time believing my education, which ofc has a tremendous effect on my life, has now been ruined. I just do not know what is going on anymore. It feels like I've regressed, or been in stasis, whilst the world has been moving forward. My relationships with friends and family are not what they used to be, which is the worst part. I think it is impossible to get out of a depressive phase alone and I've no one left.

 

[8AEM]

So painfully slow. I wake up everyday waiting for the time to come so I can fall asleep again.

 

[Trattkantarellen198]

It moves too slow for me right now because I am waiting till warmer parts of spring to order N. Don't dare to risk the bottle getting cold.

 

[SuicidallyCurious]

Fast just like Ferris bueller said it's supposed to go

 

[gottago222]

time goes fast when i sleep enough. the days feel long af when i only slept 2 hours

 

[bayonetta97]

time is so fast to me it put me into existential crisis, one month feels like a week and a year feels like five months.
it's crazy that it's almost 3 years since i signed up in this forum it doesn't feel like 3 years it's more like months honestly.

 

[Lost Magic]

The days are really long now, especially with depression. I try to sleep as long as I can but that isn't always possible even with sleeping pills. I can't wait for the long sleep.

 

[TerminalConscience]

Very slow. I live an empty existence, in a way it is like I have already died but I am still breathing. There is nothing here for me. I look forward to eternal sleep.

I feel this too.

 

[Kristicide]

Feels like both for me. Sounds weird I know. During the day it feels painfully slow. But when I think about my life more generally the months/years seem to be going by so fast.

 

[TheBestUsernameEver]

Very fast. The weeks are flying by!
Time tends to go more slowly for me when I feel deeply depressed.
