Depression and Time Perception

One of the most difficult things I’ve realized is that depression greatly alters how I perceive time. There used to be a point where I viewed the day as too short to do anything I wanted to get done. These days the hours seem to drag on.  I feel like the day is nothing but voids.

I’ve done what I can to keep busy and to stave off from having my mind wander but it’s a daily struggle. Reading, watching shows, trying to focus on work at all hours seems to be the only way I manage these days. Old hobbies, activities are much harder for me to engage in. Painfully for me I suffer from insomnia which seems to compound matters. I’m hoping that I find a blend of activity, supplements and schedule that help me balance my way through the long gaps.
