Anyone else feel like this?

Once you’ve experienced something, you have to move on and not look back. I’ve lived in many places, visited many and have had lots of jobs etc. I just came across a girl I used to live with years ago. We did seasonal work together in a deserted country town. I haven’t seen her or spoken to her since we left but I do still have her on fb. I’m shocked ti find out today that she went back to work there the following year and never left. I just find that so bizarre because it’s a very boring place to live in permanently. Each to their own but it just got me feeling really sick for some reason. Not that I had a negative experience there it was great, but it just gives me an ick feeling see the town we used to live in. It might be my ADHD. I always feel like I can’t do the same thing twice and always have to be on the go and anytime I think about anything from the past I feel sick. Does anyone else feel the same? I don’t understand it

I also get this feeling a lot , like a sad feeling or a weird nostalgic feeling and I too have adhd lol but some of the good things (places, events, memories )give me like a bitter sweet feeling that I can let linger for a little but then I have to take some action , like plan something new that has a similar vibe or find something new or exciting to look forward to. Thinking about the past is a trip for sure tho, I get the ick you’re talking about. Sometimes the past can just be inspiration for the future for how things can be better or if you liked something how you can use it for inspiration going forward.

It must be an ADHD thing then and I’m glad to hear that I’m not alone in feeling this way thank you! Yes, I’m like that too. I’m constantly thinking about things I can change and how I can have even better experiences in the future. I can’t look at photos from the past or if I drive past a house I used to live in or an old workplace I’m like “ewww”. I can’t even go back to my hometown without wanting to throw up 😂 To see that she went back to the place and stayed there, in the back of my mind I can’t help but think “but why? There’s so many better and exciting options out there”. I just want the best for everyone I guess but aslong as she’s happy that’s all that matters.

There is also a lot of negatives to feeling that way though. I feel like I’m never content with anything in my life and I’m always searching for something better which can’t be a good thing especially now that I have a family of my own and have other people to think about 😂 I know my kids need stability but I really struggle with it
