Namaste, Your symptoms — long-standing anxiety, fear, insecurity, and sleeping only 4 hours — indicate vata imbalance affecting the mind and nervous system, especially when triggered by emotional stress and uncertainty. Since this has been present for more than 6 months and you have already tried medication, the approach should be consistent, calming, and stabilizing, not quick or aggressive. The focus should be on improving sleep quality, calming thoughts, and restoring mental stability. Maintain a fixed daily routine. Go to bed at the same time every night, even if sleep is less initially. Avoid mobile/screens at least 1 hour before sleep. Reduce caffeine, especially after afternoon. Do not skip meals, and avoid long gaps. During the day, keep yourself engaged in small, structured activities. When the mind is idle, fear and overthinking increase. Even small productive steps daily can reduce insecurity. Before sleep, practice slow breathing or simple relaxation for 5–10 minutes. This helps calm the nervous system. ⸻ Ayurvedic medicines with dose and timing: Ashwagandha Churna – 1 teaspoon with warm milk in the evening Brahmi Ghrita – 1 teaspoon at bedtime with warm milk Saraswatarishta – 15 ml with equal water, twice daily after food These are traditionally used to reduce anxiety, support the nervous system, and improve sleep when taken regularly. ⸻ External support: Apply Brahmi Taila or Ksheerabala Taila on scalp or soles before sleep ⸻ Important guidance • Since you have already taken medication, do not stop or change it suddenly without consulting your doctor • Your fear about future and income is understandable, but it improves when you start taking small, practical actions daily • If anxiety becomes overwhelming, consider psychological support along with treatment ⸻ Improvement in sleep and anxiety is gradual, but with consistency, you can regain stability. Consultation can help tailor this further to your needs.
