who else finds it sad?

that you look back on an event (say michael jackson's death), it happened years and years ago- but it feels like it happened yesterday?

does anyone ever get the feeling.. life is going way too fast, way way too fast, I should be at least trying to do more with it?

I think it's sad.

I was reading that frozen the animated movie was released in 2013, so where have I been for the past 3 years?, because it feels like it was released yesterday

like was said above, I think it's sad

that my life (I don't know about yours), is just flashing before me and I'm still not doing anything

Is there anything you'd like to do which something (or someone?) is preventing you from doing? What are your dreams?
(No need to answer my nosey questions)

The deaths of my mother (2008) and my youngest brother (2014) seemed to almost make time stand still for a while, but everything in my past is simply "in my past" (like pictures lying all scattered in a wide, open-top box) and there are times when I am amazed by how many years have passed without any event seeming more-distant in the past than any other. It does sometimes bother me that so many years seem to have passed without my being aware of the years passing, and maybe there is where some people benefit (or maybe some seem cursed?) by being more aware of the passing of time as well as having a running time-line where I do not.

I feel the same way.. I know how you feel

I feel the same way sometimes. Life is zooming buy and what have I done? Today I'm patting myself on the back just for staying alive.

I had felt that way for a long time. I used to sit and wonder where all the time has gone all the time. Then more time just goes on by, with me not contributing anything. The best thing is do something NOW. It could be anything. Something small.

Most of all try to look forward, and not look back, (hard I know).

But I totally get what you mean, you're not alone

Yep, I know how you feel. I don't know where the last 15 yrs of my life have gone, except nowhere.

Yes. It seems as though everything in life is in a big pile around my feet. Sometimes it's hard to walk with all that stuff piled up on my feet.

I'm sort of caught in a limbo. It's like everything's happened yesterday and four years ago at the same time. Depends on the day for me.

I don't know any ways to fix this feeling, but maybe it shouldn't be fixed. It proves your memory is still working very presently in your life. Though, sometimes it's nice for that brain to shut up for once, sometimes it's a good thing.

Time has been flying by for me and it gets scary. For a long time in my life I had a lot of self-pity for not accomplishing what I've wanted. But now I am getting up there in age and so it does not bother me as much. I feel like I have a lot more behind me than ahead of me. Maybe this sounds weird.

I do fear the future a lot. Not with the new President coming in, but with my life. I wonder when will I not be able to function as I do now? When will I pass away? As of now there are wonderings of what will happen for the new year. Two items already come to mind. One is that the company I am working for will change ownership in March. What will that mean for me? And then I want to sell my place and move.

Please forgive me if I rambled on too much and hopefully I didn't get off the subject of the thread here. But time has passed by so quickly and will go by even faster in the future.

Here is an interesting article with a theory about that:

I have heard of that theory before and it makes sense to me. There is a book called Future Shock that I read and it's by Allen Toffler. He explains that very well in the book.

hmm, not really

when I was younger I wanted to be a computer technitian, but after all (or most) of my school days were spent on a ward, I missed out terribly on my education- and now the best thing I know how to do with computers is turn them on and post on a website (nothing at all about fixing them)

now I can't work either (officially), so that's that

the only other thing I really wanted to do is travel to disneyland in california, but i'm sure an agoraphobic who is scared of heights is really going to end up in california (especially since she can't even go in her garden)

no... all I want to do now is just wait for the end.

life's been cruel to me, really cruel

oh

I would have liked a family who loved and supported me

in sted I ended up with a sick abusive one

That stinks I can relate to the abusive family

I'm hopeless with computers (but now I'm allergic to them anyway grrrr.. the air flow stirs up dust ) so I only use an iPad.

I could be wrong but I question the "verdict" about you being "unable" to work...I stay away from drs etc as much as possible so don't have much knowledge of the "system" except that it made my anxiety, depression etc much worse ...
I did mention to one "doctor" ....I was perfectly "competent" at the job as I also was very good at reading but panicked at school so much I could hardly breathe when trying to read aloud. My point is, these po0le
