Chronophobia
Chronophobia, or the fear of time, is sometimes known as prison neurosis due to its prevalence in prison populations. It is also relatively common among shipwreck survivors and others who are trapped in a high-anxiety situation with no familiar means of tracking the passage of time. Chronophobia is also reported by some older adults, as well as people facing terminal illnesses who worry that their time on Earth may be limited. Chronophobia sometimes occurs in the wake of a severe trauma such as a natural disaster, particularly if the daily routine is seriously disrupted. The phobia occasionally appears with no known cause, though it is relatively rare on its own.
The term was given profile in 1978 by philosopher Bernd Magnus via his reading of Friedrich Nietzsche’s understanding of the human fear of time and investment in the illusion of permanence (Nietzsche’s Existential Imperative Bloomington: Indiana University Press, pp, 190-95). As the global and subjective condition of unsustainability has deepened and so become a more pressing problem the concept has gained increasing importance.
Symptoms of Chronophobia
Chronophobia is marked by a sense of derealization in which time seems to speed up or slow down. Some people develop circular thought patterns, racing thoughts and symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Prisoners often mark down the days until their release.

Le Mécréant
Entre les mains d’un géant
Qui me portrait à l’envers
Et une énorme foule d’hommes vêtus en blanc
Semblent amusés par la scène de leur père
Il me lançait de main en main
D’univers en univers
Je ne suis évidemment qu’un petit nain
Qui Palpitait en plein air
Il me balançait entre ses doigts sans rien
dire
Et Sans même me regarder pour un instant
Sans essayer de m’expliquer ses raisons
Il parait qu’il voulait juste les divertir.
Il jonglait avec deux autres frères
Les hommes ailés riaient encore
S’écriant que c’est la sanction qu’on mérite
Et qu’on doit passer quelques heures à
l’enfer

Noir (natalia)
Je serais toujours cet embryon noir
Car je ne marche pas sur vos chemins
Vous êtes les marionnettes de quelqu’un
et mes cordes sont entre mes deux mains
Je serais toujours celui qui a des poches
vides
…beaucoup
de fantômes dans sa mémoire
De ma fenêtre, je vous contemple... Âmes
morbides
Courir pour un rien, s’évanouir sur les
trottoirs
Je serais toujours un homme qui divise
Et vous ailleurs, des pantins qui se déguisent
Soumis à vos anciens temples
Construits sur les tombes des saints
Vous errez à bord des carrosses combles
et que je
conduis mon propre train
