rushed or rushing?

hello everyone! this is my first post here ;]

i have a question:

does "rushing for time" sound natural to you? like, " i can't talk now, i' m rushing for time." i have always used it, and heard people using it. but recently, someone told me it doesn't sound right. he said "rushed for time" is correct. what do you think?:confused:

Both are used but the meaning is slightly different. I think "rushed for time" is more common. Actually, I have not heard "rushing for time' but I see several examples on the Web. "Rushed for time" says, "I don't have much time and I feel the pressure."
"I'm rushing for time" means, more or less, "time is short and I am doing the best I can to catch."
