Former 700 Club co-host and best-selling author Sheila Walsh shares her personal journey from severe clinical depression to freedom, and her mission to encourage others to seek help.
Praying for all those who are suffering with the torment of mental illness. I too suffered with mental illness (PTSD, depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts) since I was 5! I’m now 34 and was MIRACULOUSLY and COMPLETELY healed in the name of Jesus! He saved me and my life has never been the same! The weight (demonic oppression) of worry, unhappiness and emptiness I used to feel was literally ripped away by the hand of God Almighty! I used to wake up and be so angry that He didn’t take my life or didn’t end the world and that I had to suffer another day with those horrible thoughts. BUT NOW I wake up so happy, grateful, no longer in fear and ready to serve Him! Praise His Holy and mighty Name FOREVER!!!! 🙌🏽🙏🏽
I remember being in a mental facility. It was nightmarish but during the hours I could make a phone call, I would call the 700 club everyday. God, my family's prayers and the 700 club were my saving grace.
I find her honesty so refreshing. Especially being a Christian woman, people think that we are suppossed to be so upbeat, but we go through things as well.
What a lovely woman she is and I love how she is not ashamed or lives under the stigma of depression. I am a born-again Evangelical Christian I'm 51 years old and I've been depressed since I was probably about 12. I have taken all kinds of medication I've been off of medication and I've done terribly. Cymbalta in combination with other anti-anxiety medications as absolutely giving me my life back. I encourage anyone who is suffering to put their hand up and say that you need help.
Pray for me also please. I am one that lives in a family that believes that depression is something that’s in your head and you can just get over it. I’ve been suffering for a while and only just get to a doctor to get some help. I’ve had to hide it from my family and I just keep trying to make it every day but it’s been a struggle and many around don’t want to pray for me for that because they do think it’s just in my head and that it’s something to be ashamed of. I just try to live every day with a lot of prayer and trying to stay close to God. Thank you Sheila for being honest and sharing your story with others, it truly is an inspiration because it lets others know you’re not alone
Have you spoke to your Doctor about this and the stigma around it the Lack of Support on your Families part ? If you really need seek help at the Emergency Hospital talk to some one mental health department. My Family is not supportive too.
Please see a doctor, there is no shame in getting help. If you broke your leg you would go see one. Please talk to someone, you will feel better. I promise you!
Oh, I have picked up on Women of Faith in our Bible study group about 6 months ago. One of the ladies,there was so up beat!!! so I go home and check this out. Wow!!! There was Shelia Walsh . OK she looked familiar, and after this clip of the 700 club it,all came back. Yes I also suffered from a mental burnout back in Sept. of 1990 and GOD, and the trinity and many family christian brothers and sisters , even a Christian psychologist & councelors helped me through. So when I read this it makes me see that now after having been through and what is happening now that NO MATTER WHAT HE IS ALIYA GOOD and will always make a way. Lamentations says Great is thy faithfulness!!!!!
I’m seeing that biofield energy work from a good Christian person does real wonders. So far it’s changing the neurological circuit. My wife has BPD and after one session, over night, she was normal for a whole week. She will need more sessions. As for me, it significantly subsided my anger towards God and I have become a confident man at work.
"Helmet hair"? If anything, a lot of current women's hairstyles look flat like a helmet, so I'm not sure where you're coming from. The 70s bowl cut looked like a helmet definitely. Anyway, Sheila had great hair in the 80s. The short pixie cut being my favorite.
Wow I went thru the same yrs ago, but God's mercy and amazing grace and compassion got me thru I and a loving and supportive family 😢tears of joy now, fully restored and revived by Jesus and our father
Connie please know that I am praying for you. I understand what you are going through. I to also have episodes of depression and anxiety and I know the living help it can be. But always remember that this to shall pass. Hang on to the Lord with all you r might. He will.never leave you not forsake you. I will remember to pray for you. Please take of yourself

@Another Day In Space the scripture acts 16 verse 28. but Paul cried out in a loud voice saying do not do this evil to yourself but we are all here. Unfortunately too many people translated the Bible to their liking I only read the one new man Bible because that one was truly translated correctly from Hebrew language.
