Do you live in the Past Present or Future

I rarely think about the good or bad of the past.
Feel like I live in the present - as the saying goes - but the present feels bad.
When I imagine the future. If i do - it’s also bad.

Not sure where i was going with this.

I live in the past more than I would like to.

To me present is good and relaxing.

I spiral down thinking about my bad decisions in the past.

I become anxious and worried thinking about the future, cause Im most likely to be hospitalized again and the mental wards have stigmatized me a lot

I do the same thing sometimes. It never helps. I try my best to live in the present, that’s all we’ve got, and all we can control. I’m sure I’m saying something you already know

Yeah, I had a really bad past with some drugs, bad friends, family issues. Sometimes I spiral down into rumination for months about it

I live in the past - depression
I live in the future - anxiety

Rarely do I live in the now

I’d say I live in the present and future….

I’m always planning for the next holiday or something.

It’s the exact same way as that for me.

I live in the present. Don’t think of the future much other than grandiose delusions of ruling the world. Gets me into trouble.

Im not great at living in the present although “yesterdays history, tomorrows a mystery” is accurate

I live in the nether regions next to the abyss and the non-ascending tower.

I live in the present…I used to ruminate about the past a bunch but the problems from my past I worked out by talking to my wife about them, which opened the door for me to have closure and I walked away from my regrets about the past.
