Time passing and memories

Hello, I was wondering how others perceived the passing of time and whether you have a good memory of it all.

Probably applies more to older people but anyone can contribute.

I'm in my 50's and have quite a hazy memory of most of it.  While I am somehow aware time has passed, more seems to have passed than I really realised.

I was often very tired, i pushed myself too hard, I didn't sleep well and used alcohol to relax, not hugely but more than current guidelines (they did used to be higher).

I often had no energy or enthusiasm at the end of the work day and even at weekends I did not do much. I now wonder if I was close to burnout a lot of the time.

But NTs also say time goes faster as you get older, so I didn't know if this is all normal and I should have just have worked to live rather than lived to work. Which is the same  issue for everyone.

  • I can relate to most of your experience, I can recall a lot of things if I think about it though. I’m in my 50s as well and definitely share the energy thing, tiredness, too much wine etc

    time is zooming by pretty relentlessly, agree I’ve wasted too much on work. If I known then what I know now…..
