Is there a psychological condition of being too nostalgic?
I often get really sad and depressed thinking about how the past used to be better than the present and I have trouble coping with most birthdays and new years because it's so sad that i'm so far removed from the better moments of my life.

You're obviously not looking forward to the future and you're not valuing the present either. You shouldn't put a label on it. It doesn't sound like depression because you still find joy in memories of the past. It's not as though your mind is plagued with bad memories or traumas. That is positive. You sound as though you are scared of living, scared of change. It seems more like anxiety than anything but as I said try not to label it. It is good that you recognise it. Seems that it is holding you back from enjoying the present because you are living in the past and you are not open to new experiences.

Well if your weekends were pretty much the same before it doesn't really make that big difference but I guess now you know you really really really despise people's perception of happiness and it was not a phase to hate gold and it's okay to feel that . Life is about enjoying now with NO restrictions based on one day of gold no MATTER what !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
