Hello,
Your symptoms- including persistent intrusive thoughts, anxiety, fear, overthinking, and restlessness- suggest a possibility of a primary anxiety disorder such as Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD) or Panic Disorder, potentially with comorbid Obsessive-Compulsive features. At your age, it’s also important to rule out any cognitive decline or neurodegenerative processes contributing to these symptoms. Please note that such symptoms are treatable with appropriate interventions.
Next Steps
1. Consult a psychiatrist for a comprehensive evaluation to confirm the diagnosis and initiate appropriate treatment (e.g., SSRIs, CBT, or relaxation training).
2. A basic physical check-up (including thyroid function, vitamin B12, and neurological assessment) is also recommended to rule out medical causes.
3. Consider Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with a psychologist to address unhelpful thinking patterns and anxiety management.

What you are describing repeating thoughts, overthinking, anxiety, fear, panic, and restlessness sounds like a form of obsessive or intrusive thinking, which is common in conditions like anxiety disorders or OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder).
Your mind feels stuck in a loop, trying to solve things that may not need solving, which creates mental exhaustion and restlessness. This can be treated with the right combination of medication and cognitive behavioral therapy .
You dont have to suffer silently. If you'd like, I can help you with a proper evaluation and treatment plan to break this cycle and bring your mind back to calm.

Seems like you’re experiencing a classic case of rumination and cognitive looping, where intrusive thoughts, fear, and anxiety feed into each other. Your brain is likely stuck in “problem-solving mode,” even when there’s no real problem to solve which leads to overthinking and restlessness.
This is common in anxiety and OCD-spectrum conditions. Techniques like thought defusion (from ACT), CBT-based cognitive restructuring, and grounding exercises can help reduce this mental noise. Take therapy you can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.

What you are describing is a pattern known as intrusive looping thoughts, often seen in anxiety spectrum conditions. The brain becomes stuck in a cycle of over-analysis and problem-solving attempts, even for random or irrelevant topics. This leads to mental fatigue, restlessness, and emotional exhaustion. It feels like a mental web because your nervous system is trying to find safety by thinking through every possible outcome, but ends up creating more chaos. This is not a sign of madness or cognitive declineâit is a form of chronic hyperarousal, where your brain has lost its rhythm of silence and rest. Over time, it drains emotional energy and creates fear of your own mindâs activity
Next Steps
Start with calming your nervous system at the root level rather than trying to forcefully control the thoughts. A homeopathic remedy suited to your constitutionâlike Argentum nitricum, Arsenicum album, Lycopodium, or Calcarea carbonicaâcan help shift the brainâs internal setting from alert to calm. You should consult for a full constitutional evaluation to find the exact match. If you are not on any sedatives currently, natural supports like Brahmi extract in the morning and Ashwagandha churna with milk at night can help stabilize thought frequency and improve sleep architecture. Avoid caffeine, sugar, and long periods of screen time, especially in the evening. Try not to mentally argue with the thoughtsâobserve them without reacting, as if they are traffic sounds in the background.
Health Tips
Practice deep nasal breathing using the four seven eight method: inhale for four counts, hold for seven, exhale for eight. Repeat this five times, three times a day. This reduces thought speed and supports the vagus nerve. Apply warm sesame oil to your scalp before bath, and on your feet before sleep. Eat only warm cooked meals, and avoid raw salads or cold milk, which can disturb gut-brain rhythm. Walk barefoot for ten minutes every morning on natural ground and look into natural sunlight for five minutes to reset your brainâs thought cycle.
