Hii dear… I’m really glad you shared this. What you’re experiencing — forgetfulness, confusion, excessive thinking, brain fog, mood swings, headaches, lack of focus and concentration — does not mean you are weak or losing control. It means your mind and nervous system have been under continuous stress for the last few months.
Stress-triggered symptoms like yours are very common when: 1.The mind is constantly overworked 2.Worries are running in the background all the time 3.There is mental overload without proper rest 4.Emotional stress is not expressed 5.The nervous system stays in a “fight or flight” mode
Your body is trying to tell you: “I need slowing down, safety, rest, and care.”
The good news is — this is reversible. With the right routine, support, and patience, clarity and calm can return.
You are not broken. You are not failing. You are simply mentally exhausted. I’m here with you, and you’ve already taken the first healing step by asking for help.

Reduce Mental Overstimulation (Phone Detox) Start gently: • Keep phone away from bed • No phone while eating • Limit screen time gradually • Replace scrolling with short walks, breathing, or journaling Your brain needs rest from constant input. ⭐ 3. Reduce Overthinking (Grounding Practice) Twice daily: • One hand on chest, one on stomach • Inhale 4 seconds → hold 2 → exhale 6 • Continue for 5 minutes This tells your nervous system: “I am safe.” ⭐ 4. Gentle Daily Movement • 20–30 minutes walking or yoga • Even 10 minutes helps reduce brain fog and anxiety ⭐ 5. Reconnect Slowly You don’t need big social changes: • Sit with family for 10 minutes • Spend 5 minutes in sunlight • One small interaction daily is enough
❌ Don’ts • Don’t lie in bed scrolling • Don’t skip meals • Don’t isolate yourself for long • Don’t Google symptoms repeatedly • Avoid coffee/tea after 5 PM • Avoid afternoon sleep ✔️ Do’s • Eat warm, freshly cooked food • Fix a regular wake-up time • Drink 2–3 glasses of warm water in the morning • Spend 10–20 minutes in sunlight • Use calming herbal teas (Tulsi, Brahmi, Chamomile) • Write your thoughts in a journal before sleeping

Forgetfulness confusion lack of concentration excessive thinking brain fog mood swings and headaches indicate that the mind is overworked and the nervous system is fatigued In Ayurveda this is mainly a vata aggravation affecting the mind and brain along with mild pitta involvement due to stress
When stress continues for months the mind does not get proper rest Thoughts keep circulating excessive thinking increases worry sleep quality reduces and gradually focus memory and emotional stability are affected That is why you feel mentally tired even without physical work
This condition is functional and reversible if addressed properly
Regular sleep timing before 11 pm Avoid screens at least 1 hour before sleep Do not skip meals
Include warm and nourishing Avoid excess tea coffee spicy junk food Include ghee daily
Daily oil application on the scalp with warm sesame or brahmi oil before bath helps significantly Foot massage with oil at night is very grounding for the nervous system
For internal support mild medhya rasayana medicines are helpful such as Brahmi vati one tablet twice daily after food with warm water Ashwagandha capsule one capsule twice daily after food with warm milk Saraswathi aristha 4 teaspoon with equal quantity of water twice daily after meals
Pranayam like anulom vilom and short meditation help reduce excessive thinking Avoid overstimulation and multitasking
This is not weakness or loss of intelligence It is mental exhaustion With consistent routine nourishment and stress regulation the mind regains clarity focus and emotional balance
Hello 🙏
I understand your concern. The symptoms you describe—forgetfulness, confusion, excessive thinking, brain fog, mood swings, headaches, poor concentration and focus, especially worsening with stress for 1–6 months—are very common nowadays and treatable.

From an Ayurvedic perspective This picture strongly suggests: - Vata aggravation (chanchal mind, worry, confusion) - Rajo–Tamo dominance (excessive thoughts, mood swings) - Majja dhatu & Manovaha srotas weakness - Mild agni disturbance → poor brain nourishment
🌿 What You Can Do (Practical & Safe) 🧠 Mind–Brain Care (Very Important) - Fix sleep timing (10–10:30 pm ideally) - Avoid mobile/screens 1 hour before sleep - Daily 10–15 min Anulom–Vilom + Bhramari - Reduce multitasking; do one task at a time

🧘♀️ Anulomvilom and Bhramari Pranayam will help. But you have to do it early in the morning only.
❌ Donot get yourself into any addictions.
❌ Donot drink tea or coffee or aerated drinks.
❌ Reduce screen time… No screen in darkness and 1 hour before you sleep. Consume audio form of data rather than visuals before you sleep. Filter the content of data you consume… Let it be spiritual or positive…
✔️ Drink a glass of buffalo milk daily before you sleep; it will help you get a sound sleep.
✔️ 100 steps after both meals are must.
✔️ Eat only home cooked food… Avoid outside food, packed and processed food.
✔️ Prefer natural liquids like fruit juice, coconut water, lemon juice, kokum sharbat over packed ones.
