Is it normal that i am terrified about time passing?

For the past year, I have these really strong fears about time passing by. It all started with an article I have read on time speeding up as you grow older. Ever since I've read that article, I have been obsessing about time going faster, up to the point where it basically ruins my everyday life.

I'm frightened about the unknown. How fast will time go when you're old? "Warp Speed" just isn't a satisfying answer. Is it really that bad?

    I'm not exactly sure how this phobia can be broken without some professional help, but the thing that keeps me happy is my career. Time to me is just so much more meaningful because I'm doing what I love to do.

    Maybe you should find something that resonates deeply with you so you can slowly let this fear go. This answer varies as much as the individual, so I can't really tell you what will work. Just sit down and do some inner reflection and find the thing that makes you happy and pursue it.

    We all grow old and wither away, but what counts is how you spend that time.

    Cheers,

    If you keep obsessing over this, you'll be wasting valuable time in which you could be doing other meaningful things!

    Lighten up & enjoy life! : )

    what is it? Already!'? it's already been eight hours I am here? Damn, it felt like seconds. What am I going to do now? I am so freaked and scared! Lol! Look at the bright side, when you order something on line you'll always go: damn! that was a quick shipping! But don't look at the calendar! Or you'll just go: A week? What did I do yesterday? how come I didn't notice time passing by? did kronos, the god of all clocks, forsake me? And why the hell are the seconds passing by so quickly? Someone slow them down! I am freaking out! (tossing one hundred bucks digital clock out the window) Great, now I won't even know the temperature of this bloody room. I am going to freeze to death before noticing.
