  1. Depression is real… you are NOT a bad Christian if you hit depression. Stay grounded on the Word of God even when you don’t want to. You are not going to want to read or pray or even go to church… this is normal. don’t give up! Baby steps. 1 day at a time.

  2. I had depression since I was young. I am now 50 yrs old. My childhood household was similar to Joyce. I ended up on anti anxiety meds and seeing a therapist in my mid 20's. I married at a young age. My unresolved issues within myself and with my father caused me to go into a downward spiral when my father passed away (my early 30's). Prior to my father passing away from Cancer, I was attempting to make a mends with him,, which my husband did not approve of.. Not long after my father passing, I had a miscarriage (suffered post partum depression). Not long after that there was 9/11. My husband was in the Marine Corp and was sent to Iraq. My mental health started to take a toll. I ended up in a mental hospital twice within a year and several meds. I started to heal when I started to "live for God". However, sadly, this is when my marriage started to deteriorate. The more at ease and confident I became with knowing who I was in the Lord, the more my husband "faught" with me. I didn't ask for a divorce. Sadly my husband started an affair and asked for a divorce and I became a single mom. Fast forward 13 years, I have been anti- anxiety meds and therapy free for 6 years. I did have a few set backs in that time frame, getting involved with "controlling men". The more I dedicated myself to God, the more I learned about myself. My anti anxiety meds was The Word, my therapist was God. The truth had set me free from my past and from myself. Those thoughts from Satan do enter my mind from time to time. As soon as I detect that, I remind myself who I am in God. The best gift that resulted in this, my relationship with my son. He has been a witness how learning who you are in God is healing in itself.

  3. Ya kinda make it sound like it’s just that easy to snap out of but depression is complete despair emotionally physically I’m rocking and twitching unable to get a grip on reality
    Even trying to think straight is too overwhelming…. it’s torture and all in compassing it consumes you…. to the pointe here I don’t want to die but I don’t know what else too do ! It’s not something that you can just sing or shower your way out of it’s an illness!
    Sorry I just can’t make light of something so terrifying and painful!

  4. Help me Lord have empathy and a listening ear to all my sisters going through depression. Because he lives I can face tomorrow!!!!YES!!What a beautiful way to end this topic! I wish that more scripture will be told with references so we can go to it and claim and pray it too.Thanks.

  5. I was no way to watch any girls talk tv program because I was so serious person, don't like being arround people and hard to get along with.
    .
    But suddenly, I started to enjoy watch talk it out, I feel like I'm there, and I feel I have my own bloodly sisters.
    .
    I wasn't laugh no matter how hard you guys laugh, but now, I even laugh alone here while I watch you guys. I enjoy to watch your laugh and even say "ya, ya, or hmm" in my bed room.
    .
    Even this morning before I done watch this show, my neighbor come and I ask to my self why I can't find disturbed feeling in my heart, because usually I really really feel disturbed and often not answer them act like nobody home.
    .
    After she done talk to me, she goes back to her home and I saw another neighbor, suddenly I say hi to her, have a little talk and laugh together, usually if I saw neighbor I even never say hi and pretend not seeing them.
    .
    I don't think saying thank you to Joyce and all of you is enough, because the changes I started to feel and see is something I never though that I could change, it's impossible, but yet it happen now.
    .
    May God bless all of you, abundantly, forever and ever.
    .
    Thank you so much!!

  6. Even though I always prefer Joyce to be a part of the group, no matter whose in front of the camera I love how they're so open and honest with the viewers watching. Throughout the years we all have seen so many fake smiles and stories from religious leaders and preachers on TV and the internet. Coming off as if their lives are perfect and they grew up in picture perfect little families with no problems. But here we get to see and hear what most of us have experienced in our lives. So I love the fact that these ladies don't mind sitting down and sharing a part of their story and don't have to be fake phony to do so.

  7. I really needed to hear this morning when i am struggling, and so glad that Kelly shared like all the other ladies shared. How Joyce also spoke on this subject. God bless each of y’all plus I’m going to hang onto this word that was shared this morning. God bless each person who is struggling with depression.
