Personal anecdote: I have (according to my medical record; it hasn't been too bad lately but still rears its head from time to time) chronic depression and my time perception is quite screwy but not always in the same direction.
When I was first diagnosed time did drag a bit. Now I sometimes feel like time's on fast-forward, and not in a good way: I get home from work, buy dinner, cook dinner, wash the plates, it's time for bed - repeat. People tell me things that happened a year or 4 years ago were a long time ago and I'm surprised because they feel like only a few months ago to me.
I think, as bnegreve says, I need to fit more new experiences in.
