A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

So you vote nostalgia. Because nostalgia is just perception while depression is a mental health issue.
2019, I was happy and doing well, sure there were issues, but in general, all was well. What happened in 2020 broke me. It was not just coronavirus, but that was a factor as well.
Well, no. Stress and trauma both involve perception. My main point was that experience compounds, and that is a different explanation than faulty memory. I would also say that if you split this beyond just bad and good, a small change in life circumstance can actually make a big difference particularly near rock bottom.
Nostalgia seems like a different concept/situation for me, one that I personally would say is linked to escapism (particularly with experiencing media it's only a loose connection to that time) at least for younger generations.
