I'm in a time warp

Time is going much slower than it should… I know it’s not logical, but, I swear I have been sitting here for hours, but the clock says 45 minutes.

maybe some distraction would help…music, a book, your kids? time goes by really slow for me too.

I don’t know that I want to be distracted from it… I am dreading work tomorrow.

500 loafs of bread is a plateful of work

good luck, honey…try not to think about it and before you know it, tomorrow will have come and gone and you will be fine.

It’s usually the opposite for me. If I’m at home relaxing, time flies. If I’m at work or school, time slows to a screeching halt! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Me too, that is why it was significant.

Some of the old time writers who did opium like Poe and Coleridge wrote about living for a hundred years in a single night when they were withdrawing from opium. It’s amazing how strongly your state of mind can affect your perception of time. Maybe you could read or watch a movie. Maybe you could cook something for your family.

This happens to me, too, and it freaks me out. It’s worst when I’m listening to my iPod and then it starts to sound like an old cassette Walkman with dying batteries, all the songs playing so slow. If I’m not listening to music, I just think that I’m bored and time seems to move slow. But when I am, it’s impossible to ignore that something’s going wrong in my head.

sry, every time I hear time warp my mind automatically jumps to this…maybe it’s just me. Maybe you’re just bored, or if you constantly think of things you’re going to do or planning on doing it tends to warp your time sensing, because your mind is so focused on the thing you’re waiting for you don’t see what’s in front of you.

It’s like when I know I have to go to my doctor’s office. I have a hard time trying to fall asleep the night before because my mind is anxious about the appointment, not necessarily seeing her but just getting there is usually my main focus…and time tends to go by extremely slowly as I’m sitting in my living room waiting for the time to go to the bus stop…then when I come home everything is back to normal…

Same here. Friday nights at the Tiffany Theater on Sunset west of Crescent Heights. The line outside always looked ready to do the Time Warp Againnnnnnnnnnnnn! (I played both Rocky and Frankie during my extended pro-dromal phase.) (Bipolar? What bipolar?)
