It's funny - I asked the same question a few weeks ago myself. I even take it a step further and actually watch the TV shows from my child hood or look up the toys I played with as a child and reminisce etc I spend hours daydreaming about what was and i get so so sad thinking it will never be the same again and that we'll all just get old and life more complicated and convoluted - add to that financial stress etc
I think it is normal to turn to things that help you stay positive and sane - i think it is your brain;s way of protecting you - but i dont know if it healthy if it doesnt stop soon. If you end up just dreaming about the past all the time and cannot accept the present or future, like i am doing i guess, then it becomes a problem
IIN to revert to thoughts of my childhood during stressful times?
