My days are starting to feel really short lately. What’s the deal? Am I going crazy? I feel like I’ve just skipped a whole month. I can’t remember what day it is everyday. Am I getting dementia at the age of 20yrs? Surely that can’t be the reason why my days suddenly feel shorter….is it part of getting older? Sometimes I wish 1 day = 48hours.

Poor memory can often come with anxiety. So if anxiety is a problem for you, then that may explain it, as your mind can simply be so muddled with thoughts that things you’d otherwise remember get lost in the chaos.
I do have anxiety but I’ve made dramatic progress in my healing. But yes it may just be because so still somewhat have it. I used to have it super bad. It was so bad ,just 2.5 years ago I couldn’t go outside cuz I was afraid of people. Now I’m working jobs as a cashier talking with people.
I appreciated it when time got shorter. Sometimes it means less pain. Time going slowly meant to me the worst periods of my life. If you manage to get used to it, it’s much better this way.
Reasons can be many. Anxiety, as kn said. Depression too, since it crushes your focus and the care in anything, so you don’t remember as much. Dissociation, possibly – depersonalisation, derealisation. Could you share some more details?
Well I have been kicking some unhealthy addictions out of my life lately. Many at once too. Videogaming, drinking, porn…..It may be the fact that I’m an insomniac, time seems to pass fast and in a blurry manner probably due to the fact that I’ve been waking up at odd times like 12:00pm, 2:30pm, and then suddenly super early like at 6:00am on strange instances despite not having much sleep. I guess I am somewhat depressed but I think I’ve been in denial about that because I thought I “beat it” 2 years ago. The effects of my depression aren’t as harmful as last time however so I guess i have simply mastered my emotions and reactions to depression. Most people say they’re shocked at how much I’ve changed over the span of just 1 year and even months. Perhaps its a relapse trying to take place within me. I must avoid it at all costs if that is in fact what it is.
