I have lost all scale of time, much as a person left in sensory deprivation. I forget when things started, and I am always surprised when things have an end. My time has stalled to a stand-still. I go through the motions – I get up, eat, wash, change clothes, paint and write in certain sequences but the meaning of time is changed and I tend to just follow what others are doing.
Since my illness began, it has been made known to me that I am a head and ruler of the timelines. I am ahead of time, for I was born before time. Yet, I am outside of time. I have a habit of giving a home to any clock or other time piece as I have a fascination for keeping time - simply because I can’t. I used to sit and rock a lot in order to get back in time. Life has lost a dimension.

I've had problems with time like that sometimes. It's very strange feeling. I hope you can find a way around it or peace with it.
Phillipa, I'm writing an article for One in Four (mental health mag) about good mental health blogs. May I include yours? Drop me an email if you can. x
