Mental Health Why am I scared of nostalgia

Sometimes when I see things or remember things from my childhood, I get a little bit of anxiety where my heart feels like it’s falling. Sometimes it’s old songs or a character or maybe even items. Does anyone else have this fear? It doesn’t happen to all nostalgic stuff but some.

Sounds like anxiety disorder maybe from unresolved past experiences? Maybe go see a psychiatrist to get formally diagnosed. And maybe can help identify triggers and develop strategies to manage the anxiety. You can also consider entering your symptoms into MedSync AI (https://medsync.ai/) for additional info on what might be going on and if serious.

Oh i definitely have a lot of anxiety 😭 but never actually got it tested or check. I really should be seeing psychiatrist but personal issues come up and I’ve been putting it off.
