I appreciate your honesty from what you have mentioned.

Your symptoms are classic signs of Social-media induced depression + generalised anxiety disorder, Possible emerging panic disorder, Mild dissociation / emotional dysregulation from dopamine over-stimulation and real-life under-stimulation

This is treatable and most people your age recover 100 % with the right steps.

Best Immediate Plan (start today) Phone is the root cause – treat it like an addiction Install “digital wellbeing” or “Cold Turkey/Opal” blocker → allow only 45–60 min total per day (no Instagram, TikTok, Discord after 7 PM). Keep phone outside bedroom at night → buy a ₹200 alarm clock if needed.

First 2 weeks will feel like withdrawal (irritability, boredom, more anxiety) – this is normal and passes.

Fix sleep first (sleep fixes 70 % of anxiety & mood)

Fixed timing: sleep 10:00 PM – 6:00 AM daily (no exception). After 7 PM: zero screens, dim lights, only yellow bulb. Night: 1 cup warm milk + pinch nutmeg OR Tagar tablet 250 mg

Body movement daily (non-negotiable) 30–45 min brisk walk or any exercise in morning sunlight → this alone reduces panic attacks dramatically in 2–3 weeks.

Eat on time – brain needs fuel 3 proper meals + 2 fruits daily (no skipping). Daily: 4 almonds + 2 dates + 1 banana morning → stabilises mood.

Safe & effective medicines 1 Ashwagandha Lehyam – 1 tsp morning + night with milk 2 Brahmi Vati gold – 1 tablet night 3 Mukta Pishti – 125 mg night with milk

Talk to someone real every day Even 10-minute real conversation with family or old school friend → this rebuilds your brain’s social circuitry.

Red lines and see psychiatrist immediately if You feel you might harm yourself Panic attacks happen daily You stop eating completely

Otherwise, follow the above plan strictly for 30–45 days → 80–90 % of people your age become completely normal without needing long-term antidepressants. You are not broken – your brain just got stuck in a very common 2025 trap. Cut the phone, fix sleep, move body, add the 3 safe herbs → you will be back to your real self very soon.

Hii dear…I’m really glad you opened up about this — what you’re describing is not your fault and it doesn’t mean something is “wrong” with you as a person. Your mind and body have been under constant stress, isolation, overstimulation from screens, lack of routine, and emotional exhaustion for a long time. Anyone in your place would feel overwhelmed.

The crying without reason, anger, panic attack, sleeplessness — these are your body’s signals saying “I’m tired, please take care of me.” It doesn’t automatically mean you have a permanent mental disorder. Many of these symptoms happen when: 1.Sleep cycle is disturbed 2.Screen exposure is continuous 3.Social disconnect increases 4.Anxiety accumulates silently 5.Nervous system becomes overactive

The good news? With the right routine, healing is absolutely possible. You’re not alone. You’re not broken. You’re just tired — deeply tired.

I’m here with you. You’re already taking the first step by asking for help.

The challenges you’re facing seem multilayered and could be connected to various emotional and mental aspects. In Ayurveda, such experiences might be linked to an imbalance in the vata dosha, often associated with the nervous system and mental functions. Excess vata can lead to anxiety, restlessness, and emotional instability, which might explain some of your issues.

To begin addressing this, consider lifestyle changes aligned with Ayurvedic principles that help balance vata. Establish a regular routine, waking and sleeping at the same times daily. It’s essential to create grounding through warm, nourishing foods—opt for cooked meals that include ghee, root vegetables, and warming spices like ginger and cumin. Minimize cold or raw foods which can aggravate vata.

Regular physical activity, like walking or yoga, tailored to a gentle pace, can be beneficial. Slow-paced yoga and pranayama practices help calm the nervous system. Look into yoga Nidra or guided meditations to aid relaxation and improve sleep qualiy.

Digital detox is crucial here. Gradually reduce screen time, especially before bed, and engage in more face-to-face interactions, however small they may be initially. You could consider displacement activities like reading, drawing, or any hobby away from your devices.

Herbal remedies, like Ashwagandha, known for its adaptogenic properties, might support stress reduction and improve resilience. However, consult with a qualified practitioner for personalized advice before beginning any supplementation.

Since you’ve been prescribed medication, it’s important to follow up with your healthcare provider about the effects you’re experiencing. Mental health conditions can be complex and sometimes it’s neccessary to adjust treatments as one progresses.

It might also be beneficial to talk to a mental health professional about your experiences. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or other therapeutic approaches might help you gain insight into underlying issues and work towards resolving them.

Since this involves mental health, it’s always advisable to seek guidance from qualified professionals alongside integrating Ayurvedic lifestyle adjustments.

It’s quite common to feel overwhelmed by emotional and mental challenges, especially when spending excessive time with digital devices. The symptoms you’re experiencing, like anxiety, anger, emotional drainage, and sleep issues, may suggest an imbalance in your doshas. According to Siddha-Ayurvedic principles, disturbances in vata, the dosha associated with movement and nervous activity, could be contributing to such symptoms.

This prolonged overstimulation from digital devices increases vata and can lead to heightened anxiety and emotional instability. Excessive use of technology also disrupts your natural circadian rhythms, which can affect your sleep patterns, resulting in either insomnia or excessive sleep, both of which impacts mental health.

While seeking electronic and medical interventions is often necessary, sometimes exploring supportive Ayurvedic approaches can restore balance. Begin by establishing a routine that gradually reduces screen time, limiting it to a few specific hours per day. Incorporating practices such as abhyanga (oil self-massage) with warm sesame oil can help calm vata and reduce tension. A consistent daily schedule for waking, sleeping, and meals solidifies routine while easing anxiety.

Introduce grounding foods that pacify vata, like warm soups, cooked vegetables, nuts, and healthy fats like ghee. Opt for a light dinner since heavy nighttime meals disturb sleep—aim to finish eating 2-3 hours before bedtime.

Gentle yoga and pranayama (breathwork) in the morning or evening can further steady the mind and cultivate mindfulness. Practice alternate nostril breathing, which stabilizes nervous energy, at least once a day, especially before bed.

If your symptoms persist or worsen, it’s crucial to continue following the guidance of your healthcare professionals, ensuring you address any immediate medical needs. Remember, Ayurveda supports healing but should complement necessary medical treatments.
