Time slowing down?

Hi all

I have parts- I have some times where I'm comfortable with it, and a lot more where I'm really not.

I've been watching United States of Tara the past few days out of curiosity. I am aware that DID looks different for everyone, and TV/film versions are maybe a little more dramatic, but it was interesting.

It has triggered something though- losing time is not unusual for me (it's always unnerving though), and most times if I think hard enough I can fill in the gaps. Most times. I have big blanks growing up and had an episode more recently of about three days- there was no joining dots for that one. The past few days though, I've had times where time seems to have slowed down- where it feels like it should be about 4pm, but is only 1 or 2pm. It's been a weird feeling. Does this happen to anyone else? I do already have some other triggers and dissociation going on at the moment anyhow- trying to start feeling comfortable and safe in my home again after an abusive neighbour downstairs was (finally) removed. Was living with my emotionally abusive mother while that was going on, and I've just moved back home about 2 weeks ago, so there's a lot going on already. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to look into that one while I was already in a unsettled state. Should have thought about that a bit more before delving into it...

Thanks.

We, too, percieve time in a non-linear fashion. Sometimes it seems to slow down almost to a stop, and sometimes it seems to accelerate so much we have trouble keeping up with our schedule for the day.

My guess is that it has to do with how the brain functions at a given moment, and how it percieves the time flow according to specific modes of functionning. But it is only a guess, based on the very little knowledge in neurology that we have.

Iv'e had periods where time slows down. It has happened in the car a few times. The speed of traffic will slow and become flowing and smooth in movement. I still don't know what causes it.

Thanks- I appreciate your input. What causes it isn't really worrying me, apart from the fact that it's there in the first place- not quite understanding why it's there in the first place. Everything seems to be buried. It was just a very different type of dissociating than I'm used to.
