Anyone else that can FEEL the front of their brain overwork itself? It seems like I can totally feel my brain all foggy. That’s because the front part of the brain is overstimulated right?

I’m not sure what subtype this falls under , but a while ago I learned a strange fact about the human brain. (Trigger warning for anyone with contamination/cleanliness or health concern OCD) I don’t remember exactly how it works but basically while you sleep your brain absorbs all of the fluids around it and somehow filters through and “cleans” it. And the feeling of being groggy/tired when you wake up is caused by your brain not finishing through its filtration process. I’ve gotten to a point where anytime I wake up and still feel super tired I obsess over the thought that my brain is dirty and it makes me actually nauseous to think that my brain is dirty and all I want to do is just be able to take my brain out of my head, scrub/wash it with soap and water, and then put it back in my head.

My allergies are probably to blame mostly but I keep feeling like I got brain fog and it’s hard to concentrate. My ocd says what if you loose control and don’t know where your at and can’t concentrate and complete and task. I feel like I got alot going on trying my side gigs etc and working. Not feeling the best today.

When I say I feel like I like a thought, I don’t mean the OCD is telling me like a thought or that I concluded that from a physical sensation. I mean, I genuinely feel like something in my brain lights up and it feels like I like it mentally. Whenever I hear people talk about liking thoughts (excitement, arousal), I always see things about groinals or heart flutters. Physical things. I don’t think I really ever see people talk about the mental sensation if this is even a thing. I just wanna know if anyone relates to this or has found an explanation for this because seeing it from an analytical point of view seems to help me sometimes. This is so, *so* especially hard for pocd themed thoughts :( Anyone relate?
