Long time ago, I was hearing voices of me becoming a nun. I started to feel convinced but overwhelmed. I got so sick of the words when I hurt a malicious voice begging me to become a nun. I watched documentaries of people who had received the calling. I read articles of how people knew they were called to the religious life. There is a guy who became a priest and he said there was a voice who talked to him very pretty and nice. He felt blessed when heard the voice, “be my priest” There was more to it. When I was 20 years old, One time and several visits to the blessed sacrament, I visit the chapel in my home parish. I cried and plead to God of my own situation. I cried so much and asked him if he wanted me to be a nun, to be nicer and gentle. Suddenly, something was happening to me. I started getting answers and thoughts. Sort of diabolical dreams. I started seeing this guy who cursed me and told me bad things about the Catholic Church and my beliefs. He told me in my face to become a nun. In reality, he was interested to be with in me romantically, but not seriously. Anyhow, I started seeing him in my dreams and he was possessing me. Dark shadows I saw in my room started making sense. So I continued praying. The physical sensations and tingling I felt started to leave me, but the voices continued. I could not live with them. So I felt going crazy. Little by little I knew it was not divine assistance telling me this. Now, as a Catholic, I tried to pray but I get sort of nervous because when I pray the holy rosary and read the Bible, the memories come back. I feel I am called to be a nun and I am not comfortable been a real Catholic who prays and believes to achieve for the best. I feel very little recalling these voices and my mind calls these voices once again. I don’t want to go to therapy because I don’t want to diagnosed with schizophrenia. I am not that crazy. Is just some paranormal science I have. Misunderstood things.

Therapy vs. Medication: Finding the Right Balance for Mental Wellness

Choosing between therapy and medication isn’t always straightforward, many people benefit from one, the other, or both combined for mental health support. Professional medication management involves prescribing, monitoring, and adjusting psychiatric medications to reduce symptoms safely and effectively. Therapy focuses on emotional growth, coping skills, and behavior change, while medication helps balance brain chemistry to relieve more severe symptoms. Combining both approaches often leads to better outcomes for conditions like anxiety, depression, PTSD, and more. With expert guidance, you can build a personalized treatment plan that fits your unique needs.

When Your Thoughts Won’t Switch Off: How Overthinking Shapes Your Mood

Do you ever find yourself replaying the same thoughts over and over, analysing every conversation, or worrying about what might happen next? Overthinking can feel like an endless mental loop — one that not only exhausts your mind but also weighs heavily on your mood. While occasional reflection is normal, constant overthinking can quietly erode your emotional wellbeing and lead to anxiety, stress, and even low self-esteem.

How Overthinking Affects Your Mood

When your mind is stuck in overdrive, it often triggers a stress response. Your brain begins to interpret repetitive worrying as a threat, releasing stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline. Over time, this constant mental strain can make you feel tense, restless, or emotionally drained.

Overthinking doesn’t just affect your thoughts — it shapes how you feel and behave. You might notice trouble sleeping, irritability, difficulty concentrating, or a tendency to withdraw from people around you. These emotional ups and downs can feed back into your thinking patterns, creating a vicious cycle that’s difficult to escape without the right support.

Why We Fall Into Thought Spirals

People who struggle with anxiety often find themselves caught in what therapists call “cognitive loops” — repetitive cycles of worry or self-criticism. For many, these patterns are learned responses to uncertainty or fear. The mind tries to gain control by overanalysing every detail, but instead of clarity, it creates confusion and emotional fatigue.

In therapy, it’s common to explore how these patterns develop over time. Understanding the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours — a concept central to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) — helps people recognise when their thinking has become unhelpful or distorted.

Breaking Free with CBT and Talk Therapy

Working with an experienced anxiety therapist in London, like Tara O’Donoghue from Homebased Talking Therapy, can help you break free from overthinking patterns and find healthier ways to process your thoughts. CBT is particularly effective in this area, as it teaches practical tools to challenge unhelpful beliefs and reframe negative thought cycles.

Through compassionate talk therapy, clients learn to slow down the mental chatter, identify triggers, and replace anxiety-driven thinking with balanced, realistic perspectives. It’s not about stopping thoughts altogether — it’s about learning to relate to them differently, without letting them dictate your emotions.

Small Steps You Can Try Today

Even before beginning therapy, there are simple techniques that can help calm an overactive mind:

Mindful awareness: Try focusing on your breath or surroundings to ground yourself in the present moment.

Journalling: Writing your thoughts down can help externalise them, reducing their emotional intensity.

Setting boundaries with your thoughts: Give yourself permission to revisit certain worries later rather than immediately.

Movement and relaxation: Gentle exercise, stretching, or a mindful walk can help release built-up tension.

These small but consistent steps can make a real difference when combined with professional support.
