Time?

[wakebreakertele]

Hi,

I don't know if anyone else like freaks out about time but that's like one thing that like really gets to me. Like it sounds dumb but like I always seem to get fixated on like what is time and like I tend to over think it. I have irrational fears about it that like life will go by to quick and stuff like that. Also like I freak out sometimes that like if I keep over thinking time Im going to like lose my mind and like in my mind like transport back in time or whatever. I guess It's really dumb and irrational but that's just something I freak about so please comment if you are the same or can help.

I don't have problems with it like during the day it's just like when Im trying to fall asleep or like in the car when I have time to just think that these kind of thoughts come into my head and I start to think this way and the thoughts just don't go away.

I don't think these existential-type thoughts (time, death, purpose of life, etc.) are strange to have upon occasion and a normal part of human nature. For you though, it sounds like these thoughts may be leaning towards more of an obsession (part of OCD) and may have some depersonalziation and/or derealization undertones. If it doesn't bother you, you should chalk it up to getting older and growing as a person. If you're finding these thoughts disturbing and interferring with your life, you should seek help from a therapist to discuss.
