And I don't mean you're only going through hard times, but actually feel like you're living backwards. Like if your life was a movie someone paused it and started rewinding it. It's hard to describe but certain events and things have led me to feel this way, and from what I can tell it's too legitimate to be coincidence. Either way, anyone ever feel like this?
 
I'm currently in withdrawal from 800mgs/daily of Quetiapine, an antipsychotic. I no longer measure time in days/hours, but more phasing through "scenes" like im watching myself in a movie and they can last any amount of time and change randomly.
Time gets pretty confusing when you're on and off psychiatric medication.
I don't feel i'm going backwards, but i feel like time is speeding up then slowing down, then speeding up again constantly

I've felt that too, I could usually identify it tho. Like if I'm keeping myself busy time goes pretty fast but if I'm sitting around bored then yeah, it slows down.

Yeah except that i'm never busy and it still speeds up and slows down
weird
 
^ this is how feel pretty much. I have come to realize that nothing will ever truly change until I force the changes to happen. I have been told these changes have to happen inside myself before anything else but I don't think I believe that. Sometimes when we get In the cycle of living life a certain way patterns form and are seemingly impossible to break. Like a never ending downward spiral. Doom sometimes seem inevitable. Other times everything's is great. That's how some people are I guess myself included.

I can relate to living life in scenes rather then time itself. Time seems to me irrelevant to everything now when I try to consider it. I personally can't stand the concept.
 
At this point my life feels like I'm on the bullet train and we are only going in one direction.;) I keep saying "stop, please"--rather hopefully--and there is no conductor so on we go. Years are whizzing by faster than I can comprehend!
 
It happens to everyone eventually sometimes one may feel this happening more then others, but keep digging, you may be 1 shovel of dirt away from your diamond.
