I see what you are saying, but sometimes people do struggle with it as they are getting older and having young kids or a family or not having funds to do the things they see everyone doing.
Or just seeing facebook, instagram whatever and it reminds of the good old days while you're sitting home doing nothing. It doesn't mean you are not happy. It's a well I wish I could still do this, I wish I could still do that, etc.
And yes, sometimes that does mean people need to get healthier mentally, but is that really a fair statement to just throw out. So much more really does go in to this than just your statement. And I am by no means saying don't post the happy good times, etc. That is what people want to see, but you have to look at it and understand the other side if that makes sense.

Like I said, it isn't an insult or a knock on their character. I mean it more out of genuine concern. There's nothing wrong with needing some help with these types of things. I guess that was more my answer to the title. How to deal with it, IMO, is to seek encouragement and help from loved ones and professionals (if necessary), rather than the folks in the thread saying to just "get over it".
As an aside, I think it is really cool for you to admit that people with kids sometimes have FOMO and miss the old days because too often there are threads here where folks who don't want kids bring that aspect up and they are told that's not a valid reason to opt out of parenthood
