This is just a really weird phenomena I've noticed personally- and I'm wondering if this is just something I do (I'm a hugely nostalgic person) or a common frame of mind for worriers- but when you're in the throes of anxiety- do you ever feel a longing for past times you worried- and found you were fine.
It's so strange, because the current time I'm thinking of is from 2014, when I was worrying I had a brain tumour. In hindsight, the "symptoms" I had were trivial and laughable, but at the time I was sick with worry to the point I couldn't function properly. This was a truly terrible period of time for me, and yet here I am missing it because I think that now my current fears are actually substantial. It's stranger yet to think that in the future I may look back on this time period as preferable to whatever I'm worrying about then.
Does anybody else ever do this? Do you think it's human nature- and our memory of strife can be?
