I personally feel as if technology is both a blessing and a curse. I also feel like I am an old soul and find it difficult to "keep up" with the latest technology trends. I can relate to feeling deeply sad when I see people glued to their handheld devices out in public instead of actually communicating with each other. I understand if you're sending a quick message to someone because you are waiting to meet up with them, but when the entire experience is people looking at their phones....it's really saddening to me
. I want to have real conversations and look people in the eyes. Make a real connection.
I'm also drawn to vintage things, especially old medical devices. I greatly enjoy browsing antique shops and often feel a sense of "this feels familiar to me" and wonder if objects could talk what kind of stories would they tell of days of old.
I'm not sure how to help you with your depression though. I'm sure you already do this but perhaps keep something vintage on you at all times to help you feel closer to the time period you feel you belong to.
