1️⃣ Slowed Passage Of Time: Many people with depression report that time seems to move more slowly, making minutes feel like hours and days drag on endlessly.
2️⃣ Difficulty Tracking Time: Depression can lead to difficulties with concentration and memory, making it hard to keep track of time or remember when events occurred.
3️⃣ Blurred Days: A lack of distinctive daily activities and a repetitive routine can make days blend together, with little to distinguish one from another.
4️⃣ The Loss Of The Future: Those with depression often find it hard to envision the future, making it seem distant and detached from the present, as if it's not a continuation but a separate, vague concept.
5️⃣ Moment-To-Moment Living: The overwhelming nature of depression might force a person to live moment-to-moment, making broader perceptions of time (like weeks or months) feel irrelevant or inconceivable.
