Have you ever felt that everything around you is moving, including maybe your body, yet, somehow, the time is not moving in your mind as if life stopped at some point from progressing?

Not really. It's more like your mental capacities are frozen in time. You can see things moving, and you can move physically, yet you feel your inner self is frozen in time, as if the time doesn't move for you but it moves for others, if that makes sense. It happened to me today, and it happens to me from time to time, especially when I'm depressed.

Not sure if it's the same thing you are talking about, but when I am experiencing bad anxiety, I feel like everything is moving faster around me than it really is. It's like a sensory overload or something. I hate that feeling.

I think it has something to do with sensory overload, as I experience this only when around people, but also in specific mental state, like when I'm depressed.

hmm.. I don't think I've felt that. I've felt disconnected and numb, slow.

I wonder if it's because we are in a depressed state.. so bc we experience depressed emotions and senses then the "normal" stimuli that surrounds us appears to move at a faster pace for us.

for some reason your description reminds me of that camera effect where someone films a person in regular motion and the background, say Times Square, is recorded in a fast pace, causing that visual disparity.

do you feel that daily , during your depressed state?

the one time I felt overstimulated I had to sit in my car for a long time. something about being in a cocoon (car) didn't make me feel as sh#tty

I feel this way. Not everyday, But sometimes. The other day I was severely depressed that I didn't care for anything, and it happened at work around people, and I felt disconnected from reality somehow. In those moments, I just feel everyone else is living but me, everything is moving but me. I have this feeling all the time that I'm not living because I'm not doing the things I would like to do (it's more on the intellectual level accompanied with the emotions that those thoughts generate), but in those moments, as if it becomes closer to reality that I'm not living even though I'm living physically, as if I'm not in the flow of life, if that makes sense. It's hard to describe.

When I was younger I sometimes stressed myself into some kind of derealization state. It basically felt like I was put in a box and there was me, nothing else, and outside was the world but it was like I was caged off from it. And even questioned if it was really there.

I sometimes feel like I am rolling backward while everything else continues to sowly move forward. I even visualize this.
