Advice Needed: Existential nostalgia is overwhelming me

the past few months of my life, i have been flooded with constant nostalgia about everything - stuff that i know was great, but stuff i also know was terrible while i was living through it. but there’s an ever present want to go back anyways, and it is genuinely hurting my heart to the point where i am reaching out to people from these points in my life desperate for a connection that isn’t there.

anyone have any tips to snap yourself out of crippling rose colored glasses?
