In general. Not just as in "do I have a future", but more psychological. Is there really just a past and present, or is there a future too? I'm having doubts.

Saying "the future will come" is just an excuse. The future never comes, it always turns into the present. So where is it? Is it just floating out in space somewhere until it comes to be now?

Yes. There is. Otherwise why would you remember the past??? And why aren't you gone, why do you still have consciousness, if there isn't a future? Every second you're alive is a step into the future. Don't over think reality. The future isn't turning into the present, the present is turning into the future.

Time is just an illusion that humans use to keep themselves from going mad. There's no past, future. Only the present. Only this moment. And now this moment. Each successive moment is past, present, and future all in one.
Now, to learn how to transcend the apparent limits is a good goal to have.

The future is a part of time. If time exist, then the past, present and future exist. One aspect of time cannot exist without another aspect of time, therefore all must exist at the same time. If there is not future, then the past that creates it no longer exist.

We see time in a linear fashion as salihe66 said to keep us from going mad. But I think time is non-linear past, present, and future exist together at the same "time"; today is yesterday and tomorrow. Time is a man made thing a human concept.

No. The future is the present when it gets here.

The future is a time yet to come, every second to come is future before it comes, present while in duration and past when the next second replaces it. :)

the past is just behind you, the present is now and ever moving into the future.

You should live todays moment as if it is your last. If there's something important you need to do, do it now. Don't put it off till tomorrow. "Tomorrow" is our biggest problem. Whoever made up this folly "tomorrow" is a very clever demon or devil. The lie is everywhere you turn. Sincerely, UC Steve
