I think it's a disease or mental illness, but not sure if there's a name for it. I can see I suffered from this since the age of 16 after one good summer, and nothing felt like it could compare. The problem was a neural pathway was built, resulting in depression. The irony is that now I think how good all those years were between 16-29 that I essentially lived in the past, although t enjoyed some moments nothing could compare to childhood/early teenage years. And now at the age of 30 my life has become so unbearable due to poor decisions that I can't believe I used to live in the past and can see how much good was going for me. And now I legitimately have a reason to live in the past because the present is so painful. I can see how I attracted this. Idk, just wondering if there was a name for it. Or if its just nostalgia. |
