why does nostalgia make me feel sick? like physically ill?

350 viewsBiologyOther

whenever i look back at college videos, or things from my childhood, school, stuff like that, it always makes me feel sick, like i want to throw up. everything just feels like shit when i try to reminisce. why is this?

i’m a very material person, i keep (hoard) absolutely everything and i have a memory box full to the brim with photos, tickets and trinkets and such that i like to keep, but i hate looking at it all. i only ever open it to add to it.

edit: elaboration

Could be something to do with mortality and the passage of time? Don’t think that’s the common reason but if you’re anything like me, I definitely get the ‘impending doom’ kind of sick over nostalgic things.
