Chronophobia

I suffer from chronophobia, the fear of time passing. More accurately, my fear is not making the very most of time. Time squandered or spent undertaking mundane tasks is almost painful for me and the vein on the forehead begins a stressed pulse. The worst is, time just wasted; queuing, traffic jams, meetings, customer services or a recent pain; driving hours to find the shop you needed unexpectedly closed. This burning of valuable time that could have been devoted to doing things you love, hurts. This phobia means that stress comes from slouching in front of the TV and relaxation is found in activity, raising the heart rate and getting a bead of sweat on. All phobias are unhealthy and not a asset to any personality, however, understanding it and trying to use it, hopefully means that every effort is made not to waste any of a life that’s already far too short. Nothing feels quite as good as looking back with satisfaction on a day of achievement, whether a DIY project conquered or an epic ride ridden. Never Follow, never let time slip by without grabbing it and making the most of every moment…if possible, without a phobia!
