Anyone else experience intense feelings of nostalgia on a regular basis especially if you're tired? Nostalgia is normal and everyone experiences it but there are times where it's intense enough to make me feel sad for long periods of time. It's even worse when I'm tired and I think that's the case for everyone. Something about being tired makes you more prone to being sadder than you normally would feel and may exacerbate feelings of nostalgia as well.
Part of the reason is because some people I used to associate with either drifted away and a couple of them who were friends aren't around anymore even though it was years ago. I usually avoid things that remind me of the past but there are times where I'm unable to stop dwelling on it. Sometimes trying to distract myself helps but other times it doesn't work if the feelings are intense enough. I'm okay with where I'm at in life now but at the same time I do find myself wishing for the old times which I know is perfectly normal and everyone experiences it. |
