Thank you for airing this interview. Caught me by surprise. I was homeless and heavily medicated in my 20's. In the depths of my troubles, I was blessed with a supportive church family. When I didn't see "miracles", when life was a struggle, and I must have looked rough (and my language was occasionally coarse), I was not judged harshly, by most. Actually, one family fed me with meals, and a Bible study each week that has "fed me" in the years since. Look at many of the other comments. Mine is just one. God bless.

Wow. I am 71 and I still suffer from this Black Dog. I remember being in a psychiatric hospital and getting ECT. Treatment I was locked in and I turned over in bed and the sun was setting. I cried out Lord Jesus please don't leave me. I wept and wept. I still want to weep. I was brought up in an orphanage. God has kept me so long and counsels me to hold on to Him. How beautiful my savior is to me.

Do you find solace in the fact that God has adopted you as His son? I did not know my parents and was abused in relatives' home where I grew up; after I was saved and started reading the Bible I found that in the Psalms it says, "Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me" (27:10). I still treasure verses like that. God called me to be his daughter; in fact, the message that I heard at my first retreat focused on the fact that God wants to be our Father. I was all in at the age of 13. I still go to my Father everyday with that same eagerness of a one- orphaned, broken child who He had held many times, has "stored my tears in [His] bottle and counted each of them," as Psalm 56:8 says, and has mended my broken heart. I pray that you can receive that comfort from His Word and internalize it into your heart, and that your mourning will be turned to joyful dancing because your Father loves you!!!

You are so brave, Sheila! My dad was a very strong Christian. Later in life he became clinically depressed. It was definitely a chemical imbalance. He got medication and he returned to his old self. Being honest about our past can bring such healing. Blessings, Sheila!

My dad was a alcoholic. I think he dealt with depression

Glory to God, about seven years ago Jesus saved me, set me free, and healed me from twenty-three years of bulimia, depression and suicidal thoughts. I was born again and made a new creation in Christ, Hallelujah! Everything changed through the working of the Holy Spirit. There is hope for you in our Lord Jesus Christ. God bless you all.

oh, how I wished I had met you when I was 18. I doubted my salvation because I almost had a break-down, I got no help at all only condemnation from christains. I am 82 and I found help when I was 46. Today everyday with Jesus is sweeter than the day before! Oh how Great our GOD! God bless and keep you and others who are having these kind of sorrows

Sheila Walsh is one of my all time favorites. Very real, wise, compassionate, and loving. Can't wait to tell her in Glory how much of a blessing she has been too me!

Process your pain in the presence of your Father - so good!

I have Clinical depression. But as I age now at 61 I know how to have joy of the lord in my heart because Jesus died on the cross and rose again for ME! How can I deny that joy. So though my flesh fights me on this and it is a battle I simply say to my flesh and the devil you will not win for I am a child of God. Yes, I suffer from depression but my hope and faith helps me to face each day knowing I will be with my savior soon.

No worse pain than feeling that your father hates you! I’ve had clinical depression also.

I sought out a pastor for help and as i cried in his office he got up and left the room. I sought out a christian woman, shared with her my pain, saw her again, invited her over for coffee and was rejected by her. Shared with others, been rejected by them too. Now i stay in my home, not going out, no friends, not going to church. Keep to myself. The loneliness is easier to deal with then the rejection.

It's sad that Christians are not equipped to minister to another who is in need. They feel uncomfortable when people share deep issues from the heart. We need to learn to be a blessing to others, not reject them.

SPURGEON’S SORROWS by Zach Eswine is an excellent book on depression. It would prove beneficial for every person to read - whether one struggles with depression or their loved ones do. Zach also has a helpful podcast. Truth be told, living in this depraved world, not one of us can escape mental illness.

Sadly most Christians (evangelicals) aren't the least bit compassionate toward the wounded,which is why I gravitate toward Judaism and Eastern Orthodox....those less"perfect"

God saved me from a lifetime of bondage of mental illness & suicide attempts. I learned it was curses and demons that entered me at a very young age and God had to teach me & deliver me from strongholds. Until I learned the truth I wasn’t able to be set free. I am born again & see everything clearly and live in the light not the dark. I pray everyone gets delivered from their demonic strongholds in the name of Jesus 🙏🙏🙏

God met me in a Catholic retreat... I was born again and ended up jn China as an evangelical missionary by His grace...☺🙏❤

Kirk, you are fantastic in interviewing very interesting and dynamic guests. Thank you 💜

Same story here, I was in the psychiatric hospital, tormented with fear and anxiety. I overdose and was admitted twice. God has brought me through, I had childhood trauma that was not dealt with. I had over 10 panic attack a day. It was a living hell. BUT! God brought me through. It was his word, praising and thanking God every day, speaking his word, and challenging my negative thoughts with God’s word. God brought people in my life, a great support system, and now I am Starting a nonprofit organization to give hope to others.

Thank you Sheila for sharing reading the psalms aloud each day!! I started ❤️🙏🏻

Sometimes we saints hide alot of serious hurts and issues that in some circles make us feel shame or accused of lack of faith. Its not lack of faith its our being human and the Lord is willing to walk with us and help and heal. If we never had a problem we would miss the journey or as some might say we wd miss the dance. Kirk you are talking to one of my favorite people. Thx Kirk love ya Sheila

Thank you Sheila. About 40 years ago I heard you sing ‘You’re the Strength of my Life’ and your song ministers to me now just as much as it did when I was a teen. Your message just now has really blessed me. You’re totally real. Thank you x

Great questions by Kirk and amazing and practical answers from Sheila. Thank you for addressing an issue that many tend to avoid, especially in the church.

Glad for her testimony. Her music blessed me so much when I was younger….

Sheila thank you for your honesty, I've walked part of the same road, God bless you

So very powerful…..”we don’t need all these words, or scriptures sometimes, just be present, sit and listen, just be there”….. “bringing the Holy Spirit into the room can change the atmosphere”. My daughter is going through depression and I have felt so helpless. I’ve been trying to think about a scripture I could share, a video message, a song but she is a pre-believer sorta teetering. So annoyed and rolling eyes 🙄would be all that I’d get. I don’t want to loose her to this life or the enemy. She lives alone right now husband is deployed and she’s just been sinking. The info given here really helps, thank you!

Brother Kirk all of us one way or another are dealing with and struggling with issues

"Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His Mercy He saved us." I spent many years as well, thinking I had to get EVERYTHING right and perfect for God to love me. He has shown me that I didn't save myself, NOR can I keep myself saved. It is ALL the work of God Through His Son and our Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Thank You so much for sharing Sis Sheila, let's talk about things that are issues in our lives,you just might save Someone's life.🗣️🌎💚💙🙏📖♥️

I believe this so true what Sheila said ... “ Because we have Holy Spirit inside of us the atmosphere should change when we walk into the room” Ask for wisdom in being there for someone and I believe God will guide you , just be present and willing.

Thank you Sheila and Kirk.

Thanks Shiela and thanks Kirk, Christ saved me when I was at my very lowest and suicidal 🙏🏻 and although I’m still on meds and still have some days when I struggle, the Lord helps me everyday. I can hardly explain how our Father in Heaven has helped me and what He has done in my life, my story could have only happened with Him and the Grace He gave me. I thank Him everyday 🙏🏻 amen. Paul 🇬🇧

Thank you for sharing Sheila, please know that your words are important for those who suffer like you, and important for those who have great compassion for emotional suffering. Everyone should know that mental illness is curable, and not a life sentence! So many are not told this. The answer lies in the love of God and love and support from others, especially those who have suffered and overcome. Childhood abuse is the toughest to overcome and usually needs a skilled trauma therapist. But the love and mercy of our Lord is central, He can help us to rise up and keep trying to move along the rocky, thorny path of life, and lead us to people in the world who believe in us and our value. My favorite book now is Streams in the desert, with daily readings that are beautifully written, and includes poems, all about overcoming our life tribulations with the help of our creator. I am keeping a notebook copying my favorite parts that I can read to others and myself. We must keep hope alive and well every day. We can and will get better and overcome! God bless

Thank you for taking the time to talk about this, it has been a blessing for me, praise God for our daily healing and for our eternal salvation which is in Christ alone

Amen! Sister Sheila, by sharing your testimony so openly to glorify God and also helping people like us. I have two amazing boys age 20 and 16. They're both suffered trauma. Your testimony really encourage me as a mother to keep prayer because there is hope in Christ for all who will believe. May the Lord bless you sister.

Met Sheila very briefly many years back. Bless her for such an honest and helpful message

PLEASE KEEP ME IN YOUR PRAYERS. I WOULD HIGHLY APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU!

Amen. She's great. Very articulate.

A very important interview and testimony. I have struggled with addiction and anxiety for decades. Ms Walsh has helped many people by telling her story. To see her go from being famous to admitted to a hospital shows me that going from an average person to a trainwreck helps me believe God will deliver me. I was afflicted November 4th with Shingles in my eye just out of the blue. Shingles didn't go away and this day I am still afflicted with Shingles Neuropathy. There is no cure but some recover greatly. I will by the Grace of God / The Power of God, Recover. I searched my Soul through this Affliction and Repented. I have no one and an alone in this World but even though I don't always feel it, I know God is walking me through this. I didn't lose my eye and I found my Faith. Please pray for me that I can work again and not lose my home. Thank you

I love Shiela Walsh. 3 of her albums really touched n inspired me in the late 80s as a young man, reborn: Don't Hide Your Heart, Shadowlands, and Say So; 3 good, solid, creative albums that I still cherish today and worship God with, singing along to many of those great songs

I identify with her but thankfully God set me free. My freedom was Emmanuel -God with me. He chooses to be with me and He is bigger than my past and will be with me today and into the future.

Thank you for talking about such a delicate subject. I hope you become a model for other people to talk about their struggles and to get the help they deserve.

A lot of wisdom in this lady. God bless her.

Letting go and letting God love on us.💖

I like that she reads the book pf psalms. I am a poet who has a nice Psalm book that even has Hebrew writing on it. One of my female friends gave me a suggestion to read the psalms. I like psalm 1. I love poetry.

Thank you so much for discussing this and God Bless you both in all you do. SHIELA!!! I always enjoy the interviews you have with Dr David Jeremiah and have enjoyed so many of his series over the years. I recently revisited his series on What are you afraid of? And the portion on depression has helped me greatly and others like yourself. Your words and wisdom are what I pray many others can hear and see and act upon. I also found myself in the VA hospital seeking help back in 2018 and as things continued to spiral downward as loved ones abandoned me started questioning my salvation even telling my wife that I wasnt which drove a wedge between us. Turning any testimony of God in my life and healing upside down and that my time spent in counsel or in devotion bible study and seeking the word that I was seeking salvation and living in disobedience completely ignoring my love for the Lord and accepting him in my life long ago. Dr Jeremiah shared some key points in an interview on that portion of the book series. It's like many want to ignore or think that it can be an has no place ina Christian's life and if you do struggle then you are not truly saved. That does so much more damage.

At age 76 I am once again going through depression due to forced medical retirement . My parents were very damaging and after many years of Christian therapy I was much improved as long as a I could work as a nurse But now I’m facing being alone.

I was homeless and addicted to drugs. I also have depression and schizophrenia . Thanks for the message 😊

Severe OCD and depresssion, and a chronic illness that is unexplainable. I’m all alone, my parents support me.

You need to know what is truth, regardless of what you are feeling! Process the pain, & don't be afraid to get help! I love Sheila, & I've always appreciated her bold authentic honesty regarding mental illness & health. It is correct; some times the only thing to do for some one is show up & shut up, words are not necessary. I know personally this is what helped the most with My Andy when he was struggling to get to the other side of understanding & control. I would silently pray, but it was the quietness that brought him through. * If you are suffering, seek the help. There is no shame. If you are physically by yourself, cry out to God! He is always there with you. Don't ever give in, or give up! You can gain control over it. Never stop seeking your health. Self care is the greatest gift we give to ourselves. ✝

I needed this tonight, thanks for sharing!

I went to alot of Women of Faith conferences. Sat behind her. Ive talked to her when she came up in the area personally a few times got pictures with her. I've just wondered what's going on with her recently. It's so good to hear this. Not that any of that stuff matters what I did with her but I just saw her as personal.

Wonderful interview! Love your new show Kirk, I have learned from all the interviews and great resources!

Wow Shelia; this is exactly what I’m going through right now. I messed up in my walk with God and it’s been killing me. It all hit me at once. I’ve been walking with Christ since I was 16. I felt the same. I need to please God to have His favor. But I’m unlearning that now. It’s just so hard. I have been facing anxiety attacks and bouts of depression. Every time I spoke to someone on the church about it they told me I had a spirit or demon. Which was heart breaking to me…. The church needs to be educated on these things. Your story is encouraging to me. I had such a hard time finding someone with a similar story. You give me hope in God. 🙏🏻 also depression runs in my family-- so I know once I overcome this it will be cut out of my lineage FOR GOOD!
