Hello everyone,

It's Monday once again. The end of August is almost near and I cannot say I've done anything meaningful the past couple of months. " Time flies when you're happy"- I don't find this to be true.

How does time work for you? When does it go fast and when does it feel forever idled?

Hope you're having a decent Monday and thank you for checkin-in.

I've been pretty sluggish. I slept until 6:30p.m. Sunday because of depression. I'm just not wanting to do anything lately. My therapist is a bit concerned, but there's not much that can be done aside from go about the daily activities and wait for the depression to pass.

@InvaderStitch

I do indeed understand the dip during depression... We go about our daily routine with depression but there are days when I just can't even get out of the bed. How are you feeling stitch? Hopefully you're doing just a tad bit better than yesterday!

It feels like I haven't done anything meaningful in quite some time. Time seems to go slower when I have nothing to do. I have been struggling lately. I have some things I have been avoiding and I can't any longer.

I have found that my time works quite diferently than others. I can't explain it but time goes by much slower when I am in the moment... Time takes awhile when I am out doing something. I wonder why I have such unpopular translation of time..

@Jackie Time goes fast when youre having fun with the people you love. Time moves slow when you are at a place or at a point of your life when youre unhappy in a place or with a situation

I think for me, when I am happy I tend to take my my observing and cherishing every tiny details. Time goes by slower when I am cherishing the moment. When time goes to lag, that's when I am having hard time observing and making meaning of anything.

Thank you for checking in and have a good day!

How does time work for you? Its torture.

When does it go fast and when does it feel forever idled? It goes fast when I write or when I'm with my guy, but so slow when I have to wait to hear from my guy.

Hi Rekekah, have you experienced time slowing when you're intimate with your partner? I always felt like my biological time went alot quicker than the actual time when I am close to my partner.

I think time goes very fast when you're happy! When I was in my unsafe environment, time crawled... I thought I would never escape... Now, I've been in my new house for almost a year! I've got a new job, a boyfriend, I'm making friends, bonding with my family... Everything is whizzing by, in a happy way!

For me time crawl when I am in fear. What it feels like an hour is actually only few minutes. But when I am able to cherish and be thankful of my time, time slows down as well. I don't know why!

Hope you're having a good day!
