Anyone else here experience this? I'm not sure if its a symptom of my depression or something else, but a lot of times it will feel like like something I did yesterday was like 4 or 5 days ago. And keep in mind this is completely sober. It's kind of embarrasing because sometimes I'll talk to someone about something and forget when it happened only to be reminded it was yesterday. :(
 
yeah man, all the time. thats prolly because im usially high if i'm awake though... my depth perception goes crazy sometimes too, i look at the ground and feel scared, fear of heights.

what really fucks me is when my sense of speed is thrown off.(i'm the pizza man, that is important when driving ya know?) mostly by MDPV. will look at speedo and im doing 45 in a 20 or somethin dumb like that.
 
I get that feeling many times. Things I did at 9 in the morning feels like something I've did days ago, or something that I did yesterday feels like something I did 2-3-4 days ago. It's quite wierd.

In my opinion it's propably because of the weed usage. It seems that when I smoke more this time dysfunction occurs more. I don't worry about it so much though since it's not making me not able to do my job, and it's quite commun.
 
I have this feeling if I get up really early and have a long day. When I think back in the evening I feel like I experienced it all yesterday and it is quite annoying. Mine is due to some mental issues I have been fighting through like depression, slight DP and DR, anxiety and some OCD. At the moment I am doing what I can to feel normal since this was brought out from a bad drug trip from fake weed.
 
When I'm smoking a lot of weed all day time goes by really fast for me. Like before I know it it's 8 in the evening and I haven't even eaten dinner yet. When my tolerance gets too much and I stop smoking for a few weeks time goes by really slow. I'll look at the clock thinking a few hours must have passed and it's been maybe 45 mins. since the last time I look at the clock. After staying sober for a month my since of time goes back to normal and it's all good. Weird stuff.

Call me stupid but what does DP and DR stand for? I too have anxiety and some ocd issues. At times I think my past use of psychedelics may have made these problems worse but I'm not really sure.
 
Ah, ok I've heard of those just didn't recognize the abbreviation lol. I think I've experienced some of that, at least with the depersonalization. Not quite sure about the second one tho.

That happens to me too, but I have full awareness of what I'm doing. =D
If you ever get a ticket maybe you could just tell them that your senses were off.
 
Oh sure, I get that all the time... and don't think it's really all that big a deal. I mean, when watching a really good movie it seems like the two hours go by in about five minutes. So I honestly don't think it's anything unusual, nor all that worrisome.

Could just be boredom or stress, making the time seem to go by really slowly (?). If so, the solution would be to get involved in something, so you don't notice the time passing all that much. A watched pot never boils, so they say.

What sucks for me is I just started a new job and normally I would be excited about learning new things and time would fly bye. Now my anxiety kicks/never leaves me and time seems so move so slow. You know the old saying time flies when you are having fun well the opposite happens when you are not and you are stressed and anxious 24/7. Today I was at work for a 8 hour shift which felt like 12 yay.

I hear that. One shitty job I had each day felt more like 2 days lol. Don't know how I lasted 4 months, probably because I was high on painkillers most of the time. =D
