Sadstalgia 

Nostalgia that makes you feel sad. Thoughts about past time(s) and realizing how happy and less worried/carefree you were back then, compared to the present.

I call nostalgia, "sadstalgia" since it makes me sad to think about how great things were compared to how they are now. I can't have what once was.
