Are You Nostalgic Or Just Depressed?

Описание: Are you nostalgic, or are you just depressed? Are you nostalgic or are you just grieving a happier past that now contrasts so strongly with your current depressive reality? Why is nostalgia so popular right now & why does it seem so powerful, even depressing for so many? Today, I want to explain this rise in nostalgia and how it might correlate with mental illness and depression. I think nostalgia is more than just reminiscing; it is also a form of grief. In this video essay, I explore why nostalgia is so intense for some people, especially those struggling with depression or mental illness. From Baby Boomers to Gen Z, early 2000s aesthetics, Lana Del Rey’s music, and the rise of retro trends, I break down how longing for the past might also be rooted in unhappiness with the present. We'll talk about how depression amplifies nostalgia, the psychological connection between nostalgia & grief, how nostalgia can be a way to self diagnose depression, and ways to live in the present & free yourself from extreme, toxic nostalgia.
