I don't view it as lost time, but wasted time.
I've wasted a lot of time over the years due to fear. Other people have wasted a lot of time partying. Others wasted a lot of time in relationships they didn't want to be in.
I think that a lot of people waste their time for different reasons, not even related to mental health diagnoses. So... I prefer to view myself as having wasted time as opposed to having lost it.
