Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

It is possible that you are remembering memories of younger childhood days and this is causing distress right now. Some of it is normal and acceptable but if this is causing significant distress and anxiety in your daily life, then you need some help. Help can be in the form of keeping yourself preoccupied and making friends. You may share your thoughts with old friends or join support group for the elderly.

If there are facilities near you home, you can seek help form a mental health professional and take counseling sessions from a psychologist. You can also start new hobbies and avoid bad memories and thoughts into your mind.

Hope this helps
