no sense of time anymore?

[darkwater]

I got up at three o'clock now I look at the clock five hours later and I can't tell what I did for the last five hours. Is anyone else like that?

 

[theboy]

Bad memory?

 

[Zegers]

It happens to you every day? I feel like I'm in a loop, barely have any energy.

 

[Rairii]

I feel this. It confuses me a lot, even the days are this way for me. One day it's Monday and the next it's Friday and I'm confused how I got there. I'm guessing it's just my brain dissociating and the fact that I'm doing absolutely nothing and have nothing going on.

 

[Cathy Ames]

Yeah, wth even is that? I have it, too.

 

[Scythe]

Sometimes, usually what happens is I look back at an event and think it's like a year ago but it's actually 3 month ago. Or it's I feel like it's already been 5 hours and it's only been 2.

 

[Hollowman]

I've been like that for decades Lsd overuse in my teens and Accutane warped my brain.

 

[epic]

You mean you literally don't remember things (as in memory issues) ?

 

[disorder]

same… specially since last week as i overdosed with lorazepam just to kind of pass out for some hours (i fucked up my sleep schedule and i don't remember anything)

 

[vultureilse]

same. and i have dpdr and a fucked up sleep schedule so they dont really help with my messed up perception of time

 

[nonutscera]

Anyone else feel like COVID really messed up their perception of time. Like 2021 was a couple years ago and 2020 was like decades ago for me. It's so weird to think about.

 

[jamie_]

waking up and it being dark outside takes a few seconds for me to process whether it's because it is too early or too late.

For me pre-COVID years seem much closer. I can remember exactly what I was doing in late 2019.

 

[Skathon]

I've always been like that.

 

[Celerity]

Sounds like you're losing time due to stress. I get this way when I am suffering through extreme depression and/or anxiety. Rumination spirals resulted in me losing awareness of pretty much anything besides my ruminations, making time feel simultaneously fast and slow. I remember getting locked in these spirals only to realize hours later when I had an appointment that I had essentially spent hours staring at a wall.

 

[Sakura94]

If you live in your head it's hard to keep measure of references to reality. Internet helps because I can see the times of things/chats I replied to. My memory is shockingly bad though and I repeat myself.

 

[Piki]

有时我在想，我是否一直沉浸在过去的反刍和妄想中，感觉时间的节奏被无声地打断了，因为我一直在脑海中重温我已经经历过的事情（有时这样的活动发生在我没有意识到的情况下，但它们确实占据了一定的时间）？

 

[clueless2dayor2morro]

yeah, i feel like my memory and ability to plan things is getting worse. and it doesn't help that i have these expectations of having good memory in order to interact with people and not upset them or make them feel unimportant sucks. and not only that, but feeling unproductive because i'm so stuck and put way too much time in my feelings that i can't seem to break from. too much pop therapy and too much expectations really hurts me.

Adhd meds followed by a google search made me realize the correlation between dopamine levels and time perception.
paradoxically my time perception was worsened by the meds, probably cuz i took a lot, and the rebound withdrawal probably played a big role,
found myself checking the calender to see what month this is..

In general, people with adhd have difficulties perceiving time. This is usually referred to as "time blindness." Meds do not tend to improve this issue.

Where times stops, boredom starts. Infinity... The infinity that makes you constantly watch at a clock because you ask yourself "How much longer will I have to keep up with this?" Forever my friend. You better get rid of all your clocks. It's a false sense of safety. Boredom will suck up your minutes, days, years like a lollipop.

I used to keep track of time with cigarettes but It's so bad atm that my two waking up cigarettes (one when I wake up and one about an hour after) takes me now sometimes 3 hours to have because I keep loosing time sitting staring at the wall. It really sucks

 

[H.O.Xan]

I lose track of activities, time day etc. idk how it happens tho

 

[Archness]

Yeah. The only "Real" moment in my life feels like the one I'm experiencing at that time (a lil ahead/behind). Looking as stuff/things I did in the past feels a little like it was done by someone else. I don't really like looking at what I wrote at the past due to that... I'm so separated.

Yeah, lossing sense of time and disasociating from myself. Not a good combo.

 

[cielherpes]

i feel like that constantly, i can stay up on my phone at 11pm and suddenly it's 5am, my memory is just as bad, it's been hard keeping things up because of my lost sense of time, i feel you

 

[Illidan77]

lol the same.. i use app 'Save my time', and now 'Simple time tracker' that pop up so you put what you've been doing.. but lately the app seems not working or i might messed up my phone settings.

 

[Jaqen H'ghar]

Medications could do that.

Time is weird.
