Ah yeah. It's a bittersweet feeling for me. The nostalgic almost emptiness because you can't go back to it right now but you know exactly how happy it makes you. Really, you need to find something to take up your time NOW. Something that makes you happy now.
Try to work around the negative emotions and enjoy the nostalgia, embrace the memory instead of dwelling on the fact that you can't go there now. If you can't do that, if it's simply a negative feeling, try the 10 deep breaths. You would be amazed how nice this works if you truly give it a chance. I'm going to be telling everyone to do this from now on.
Sit down and turn on some relaxing music or sit in silence, start taking deep breaths and only focus on your breathing. As soon as any stressful thought enters your mind remember that you're supposed to be thinking about breathing. Not memories, good or bad try to push everything out and just breath. Rest your hands somewhere and just think about the texture of what your touching, then back to thinking about your breathing.
This feeling that you're experiencing isn't too bad, you'll get better. Especially since summer is around the corner. I wouldn't worry too much about it.
Good luck to you.
