Time is just zooming by
Hello everyone recently I've been feeling like time is just moving at a breakneck pace. Before I realize days pass me by eventually I realised that it's halfway through the month and then after realize it's already the end of the month, even though it feels like only a few days have passed. I was wondering if anyone has any tips they use for this issue?
I’m sure there could be several other possibilities for this, but the first thing that came to mind is a freeze state or dissociation. Sometimes if you get too stressed without noticing, you can find yourself in this sort of state, and sometimes that causes time to seem weird. When you’re alone in a safe place, try to figure out if you feel physically and emotionally present. If you think you’re not as present as you were before the time thing, this could be it. To get out, you’ll need to signal safety to your brain enough that it lets you out of that state. You could use relaxation techniques, look for specific things that signal safety, or just have a really good cry (that’s what I did pretty recently, actually) Bear in mind though that freeze responses like these tend to be layered on top of a fight or flight response, so sometimes you have to get through big emotions to get back to normal.
