- When Heather first recognized the symptoms of her depression, she felt ashamed. She also felt sure that with faith, prayer, and help from Jesus Christ, the depression could be taken away. She learned that prayers are answered in unexpected ways.
“I remember kneeling by my bed and just asking the Savior, 'Where have you been? Why weren’t you there in those moments when I needed you?'”
Find out how Heather found health and hope in this raw episode of His Grace.

some people are bullied at school
im bullied in my own head
ChaseMooncheese ~~● Yes!! l relate to your single sentence, we are bullied in our head.....thks
We're all bullied im the head, and we gotta learn to love ourselves and listen to good thougts, and forget the negative ones. they do no good. :)
I’m hard on myself 😓 they say you’re ungrateful, you should be more happy! 🤬 but I can’t just flip a switch and be alright! 😠 sure I can pretend to alright! But it’s only for a moment or two.. than someone says something, I think about what someone said yesterday 😩 and than I’m triggered 🤯 like i can’t find any peace ☮️ even when I sleep 🛏 I have a hard time feeling asleep 😴 and even when I do manage 👌🏽 to get a few hours of rest 😌 I wake up sometimes feeling like I haven’t rested at all 😩 or sometimes I’ll have a nightmare or I’ll hear a bang 💢 🤮 anyways I’m quite tried of this cycle 💫 I’m in 🤐
My mind is my biggest bully
ChaseM same 😔
I searched up this at midnight and didn't know why. I am so grateful god sent this to me ❤❤
I'm glad your okay
Depression is hard to understand if you've never had it yourself. Thankfully, all things will be made right through Christ.
Yeah i almost died today
I am far from religious, but I find some of these videos to be so healing.
Thank you for sharing!
You might be more religious than you think :)
I love this. Sometimes the miracle that saves you is the fact that you have access to the doctors and medicine that you need.
Right now I am having really severe anxiety and depression. I can’t find counselors that i like. I feel like they cannot understand me. Im not active in the church. I believe it is true but have made so many mistakes. Have bad habits and addictions that I feel like I cannot never go back. But I loved this video. Thank you ❤️
Of course you can come back! No one here is perfect, and just like a hospital, church is for those trying to become strong and trying to become better
This comment was made years ago. But I hope you made it back! You are loved and welcomed!!! X
Are you ok
You are loved, and needed! Hope you are doing well. ♥️
I hope you are doing better now! I know it is difficult - I am very familiar with the feelings and state of mind you described. Hopefully things have changed for the better in your life at this point. If not, keep in mind that the relief you need so desperately is not only at the end of the journey back to the gospel, but along the way also! "I've made so many mistakes and have so many bad habits" isn't as strong as the good feeling you'll get when you come back. And that good feeling builds on itself, little by little and sometimes a lot by a lot! You'll get what you need along the way, not just at the end - I promise you! (Hard to believe, I know, but it's true 🙂.)
I never wanted medication either. I had been bullied all my life, by my step sister and anyone in my neighborhood.
I was a piece of Velcro; I stuck to anyone desperately, trying to make them be my friend.
I did all sorts of horrible things to myself to try to fit in with people online with my problem.
My mom walked into my room one day and said she was going to church.
What? Church? I didn't know about the church. I went. I saw that the Youth were... happy.
That was possible?
Huh.
I guess I could go back...
I went back. I took the missionary lessons.
And a year later, I got baptized.
Another year later is me now. :) I have friends, talents, a CZcams channel, a podcast, a pen pal who has changed me in more ways then he'll ever know in this life, a good life where I wake up and know that if I need to cry, I CAN because I can feel again.
And I know everything is going to be okay.
:) Be safe Heather.
Remember these thoughts and feelings forever and always. Because when the days get longer and tougher- these experiences keep you going. Thank you for sharing! The church is such a blessing and brings joy to so many. I'm thankful you were able to find your happiness. Keep it up- keep being strong.:)
Good for you sister! May Heavenly Father Bless you ; )
Olivia Beakman I just cried. I'm a convert, too. God bless you.
Wicked wonka Thanks, you too.
Olivia Beakman this made me cry I feel so sorry for you
This reached my soul at a time of darkness, thank you heavenly father for your blessings!!
I almost cried, I remember when I prayed to God asking Him if He would take away my depression and the spirit whispered back that it would be my lifelong struggle. It's hard to deal with but Christ's love does make it better. If I didn't have the church in my life I would be dead by now and long ago. The truths of the gospel give my life purpose and have helped me want to survive.
Amen to you brother, I couldn't have said.it better myself.
Gongoozler I am I completely agree...thank you Heather.
Gongoozler I am idk what spirit you were listening to but the God that I know will take away any mental illness or any problem you have. I had sever depression myself and Anxiety myself and God completely healed me from it. Its not Gods will for ANY of His children to be depressed. You probably have sins that you need to confess as soon as I did that to just one person my depression instantly left me and it has never returned. You need to get out of the mormon doctrine its false. The real power of God is in the Bible. Ask God to give you the true Holy Spirit so He can guide you into all truth and set you free of this depression. If you have any question please comment me back. You dont have to live with this God wants to set you free so you can begin to walk in your true purpose.
Gongoozler I am James 5:16 therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed.
Justin Plater Depression is not a result of sin... It is a chemical imbalance. Read the lds article 'misconceptions of mental illness' and hopefully, you will understand. Depression is not a punishment, depression is not a choice, but I appreciated reading this person's story- they seem very strong and I wish them the best.
This woman perfectly described my life! Growing up I had medicine I had to take with depression, and I still have to take some! It’s hard, it’s something that the savior knows about! It’s nothing new to him! He does help, he’s helped me and he’s helped this wonderful woman too! He can help you as well because he loves you perfectly!
I am crying so bad because this is just like what I have gone through. The Lord had helped me so much through my process and I am still working towards my goal.
It's so amazing see the church producing these videos... and see that people can overcome such difficult struggles... depression is very real, so much as any other disease... but has so much stigma in our society and also among church members, especially among men. I hope more and more of these videos are shared so people can know that is okay to acknowledge a weakness and that does not make us less, but more in Christ!
I may not be a Mormon... But I have to say, a leader at my local church said these exact things... But God doesn't always just take it away with enough prayers... We need to learn something from it first before it disappears, this is what I've learned and am still trying out the prayer solution....
I must have a LOT to learn, then, because Depression is the "dog" that has alternated between nipping at my heels and threatening to devour me whole for far longer than I care to admit! ;-D I'm still here, though ... and even that is probably only by God's grace!
Warm Regards and Best Wishes,
@Kenngo1969
Yes! I'm forever grateful for a bishop that helped me see that depression is like diabetes, your body is just not quite right. Nothing to be ashamed of. You cay "pray it away" as much as you can any other illness. Can He take it away from you? Absolutely. Will He? Not always. We each have our own struggles to learn from
JudkinsJourney hey! friend!!!
JudkinsJourney thanks just reading your post has giving hope , I felt so lost , at times , know how you feel
JudkinsJourney thank you for this quote
I deal with depression everyday! But I know He is here with me! This gives me the strength to carry on! Thank you Lord Jesus!
Paula Hester thank you for sharing this keep going and be you.
Amen! I have severe Depression, Anxiety, and ADD, and if it weren't for the savior, I'd probably be dead. Because of the savior, I have reasons to smile, despite my constant emptiness.
Prayers to you, Heather.
I hear you. (I see I'm "late to the party," but I'll respond in the hope that it helps others, too.) Much of the time, I'm quite numb. (But fortunately, not ALL of the time!) I hope that, at least occasionally, the Savior and others are able to fill that emptiness ... if not all the way, then at least part of the way.
Warm Regards and Best Wishes from a Brother in Christ,
@Kenngo1969
Depression is a chemical imbalance in the brain. Accepting medication doesn't mean you are weak, it means that you are strong.
Rainbow Love what makes you stronger is knowing your self learn what makes you happy
sensitive people's---------.
Depression can be caused by so many things...mine was a hormone imbalance because my ovaries didn't and don't make enough hormones. Depression not just about the brain.
We encourage anyone struggling with mental health challenges to seek the help of our Father in Heaven through prayer, and also seek help from someone you trust, such as a family member, friend, mental health professional, or faith leader. Learn more here: www.churchofjesuschrist.org/mentalhealth
@@churchofjesuschrist 6 years later and I feel even more strongly about my original comment. I have finally found the right regimen of medications, and let me tell you I could not function without them. they don’t make me feel “happy” or anything like that, they simply allow my brain to create the necessary amount of chemicals that most people create naturally. no amount of talking to friends, family, counselors, etc will ever change that. there are some things that are simply a chemical imbalance and getting real medical help is crucial. talk therapy can help, but it can’t be the ONLY thing that helps for a lot of people. I would be dead by my own hands by now if I were not medicated
"Who ever said I am not the answer to your prayers?" Wow, exactly .
There is still too much of a stigma, in my opinion, about mental illness in society. It's no different than having a broken bone, cancer, or any other malady. I hope we, like this fine woman, can be more open about it and exercise understanding and patience to help each other out. It's one of the hardest types of afflictions because it's largely internal and very hard for others to see and understand. But the great thing is that there is hope. Plenty of people have dealt with it successfully. Thanks for this video.
I'm a Christian and I loved watching this. I've struggled with depression for a number of years. Within the past year I've gone back to counseling and about to take a very small dosage of some medicine. It's been tough, but a good progress. Thanks for sharing your story.
I am an avid #MentalHealthAwareness advocate and performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my CZcams channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. 💙❤
This was an answer to my prayer for more church produced videos of people like me. Please keep them coming!
I can so get what she means. I been a member of the church for about 6 weeks now and I suffer from depression one Sunday things was just going wrong I walked out of church my missionary teachers was so patient with me I told them I suffer from depression and I said I never told them because I felt 'they wouldn't understand'. It's been a change where I'd have these episodes and no one would help but now people do which makes things so much better. Reading scriptures, praying and serving others is a cure far better than any medicine can provide. And if anyone suffers with depression and is a member speak to a missionary or anyone in your ward. When you do that, you ll feel Heavenly Father's love manifest in the person you talk to. The book is true, the gospel is true, Thomas S Monson IS our living prophet! And I testify in the name of Jesus Christ amen
Amen. Thank you so much for sharing! Wishing you all the best. Keep on keeping on- God is good.
wes newell I dont know about other people but for me I suffered from clinical depression until that day when I started dreaming to be a medical doctor. I started listening to motivational speakers. I got addicted to motivational videos and here I am, a person full of life chasing the MD degree
As much as I agree with you, I am also a church member but sometimes depression isn't easily helped with a missionary coming to your home and a prayer. You said "Reading scriptures, praying and serving others is a cure far better than nay medicine can provide" is dangerous thinking. For you and I, we think it's a wonderful way to see life and to get over hurdles in life. But sometimes therapy and medicine is needed to treat those with depression caused by PTSD. You wouldn't tell a person with cancer just to pray and do scripture study to cure cancer would you? A few months ago we had a suicide in the church parking lot by a member, a few have talked to him and tried to get him some help but he always held prayer as his only solution, needless to say, it didn't work. It's not all black and white mate. Depression takes time to heal, therapy, medication to give you the energy to get out of bed and learn coping skills. Once you learn how to cope with certain issues you can leave the medication behind. Depression can be several things, just like cancer, there is different levels to it.
This was so amazing and inspiring. Thank you
This video really tuched my heart
This video is so inspiring. I needed this.
Videos like this help me understand just a little. Thankful for the love of a tender Savior.
Thank you for this.
Thank you.
So beautiful! Thank you!!!
This video is an answer to my prayer because I have depression and I just felt like watching it today. I relate 100%.
This is so beautiful, thank you!
Thank you...
I have suffered most my life with depression and I just thought that I was unmotivated. It wasn't until my mission that I was able to receive professional help on this. Now I have medication and feel normal, and not just sad for no reason.
Stephen Harper thank you for sharing this I can't imagine what it like to go through all this, but I have seen my sister find a way to deal it and to here that you did to lift my soul
Such a true understanding of how I feel, at times. I am lucky to know my Savior and his great love for me. When I have not been able to feel, I've known that it was time to get help. Thank you for sharing your experience!
Thank you for sharing your beautiful journey with us ♥️
Really great and inspirational
I couldn't even listen to the rest of this without crying... This is so relatable
Thank you so much for sharing
This video is so amazing. Touched my heart in every degree. God answers our prayers in mysterious ways- sometimes the ways we don't want/or expect. I feel for her so much- recently I went to my Bishop and discussed my mental state with him and I am soon to be taking therapy and possibly needing anti-depressants. And it is such an awful/shameful feeling, but it's OKAY. Because like they say, "It's okay not to be okay." If we strive to do what's best and to be happy- we will, without a doubt- experience speed bumps- mountains even. It's my hope and prayer that if you are struggling with this, no matter your age or standing with this Church- seek help. God is great and he will work through your church leaders to help you. I'm so thankful I pushed myself to meet with Bishop- I'm still uneasy and nervous, but excited for my future.
I am so happy u found the courage to see ur Bishop! My husband found that courage recently w our wonderful Bishop. The sister missionaries hadn't been in my house until tonight because I had been ashamed of how I've let my household chores overwhelm me. I've neglected my house somewhat because of me taking care of my families needs first. They assured me that it was OKAY because it is a challenge that I am going thru right now, [having to care for my family and being a support system for my husband]. I don't know what kind of state I'd be in right now without the church & amazing missionaries. I have absolute faith that once I start going back to church, my peace will be restored like it once was after I was baptized and Heavenly Father will give me the strength that was lost plus some! Videos like this that speak about true modern-day issues give so much hope & tell us that we are not alone. Thank you for sharing your experience in ur comment.
Hannah Borrego Gilmore Thank you! And I've recently talked to my bishop as well over the phone. I mean at first I didn't really wanna do it but, I finally admitted I needed help and texted my Bishop and he reminded of all the great things that I already knew about myself but have lost through depression and anxiety. And I'm so very grateful that I did! Couldn't do it any longer on my own. And I'm glad I was able to get the help I did, when I did! When it was all said and done.
Thank you for being so open I know how hard depression is and PTSD but thank you so much for sharing your story
Thank you
I am not religious at all and this was so telling and affected me so much beautiful and glad she has found such peace
Meredith, the Lord loves you and needs you to be on His side. ComeUntoChrist.org
God will always be there for you
Thank you, this is very relevant to me
I have been on and off anti depressants for 27 years. I too felt like my prayers would cause the depressed, uncontrollable me to go away. I don't like me when I'm not on medication, how can I expect anyone else too? My daughter said to me One day when I was wishing I didn't need to take meds. " Mom, who's to say that it's not the real you when you take your meds?" I still haven't come to total acceptance of this statement, but the truth is.....I like me better when I'm on my meds.
This came just at the right time!
❤️❤️❤️ God bless you!!
Thank you so much for sharing this, got me right in the feels :')
As soon as it begins I started crying because it reminds me of who I'm
Beautiful. I suffer from this as well. This was wonderful
Literally there's no words to describe depression it's the worst feeling in the world it's like being buried alive I wouldn't wish it in my worst enemy. It's a life long battle for some of us I'm so glad the church acknowledged this but Lord knows it makes feeling the spirit so hard.
I appreciate this perspective. I'm not LDS just Christian but I've been praying and using God's word and the armour of God to fight depression amd anxiety for over 5 months and in that circle they believe that we are already healed by hos stripes and if you aren't it's something you are doing or not doing it that is preventing it which just makes me feel even worse about myself because I'm still not healed. This seems like a more practical approach. Like hey, maybe God can heal us through others and not his direct power.
Yes,this. Depression is a real illness and should be treated by a doctor. Keep trying until you find a doctor that you can trust, and medication that helps you.
"This seems like a more practical approach. Like hey, maybe God can heal us through others and not his direct power." I appreciate your perspective, and I don't necessarily disagree with it, but I think, often, that healing comes both directly from God (when it comes: we all have our "thorns in the flesh," and, candidly, I think depression may be mine) AND through others. Thanks.
@Kenngo1969
There is nothing to be ashamed of 💞
My depression was incredibly bad for several years and I found out it was a serious hormone imbalance. My healing and answer to my prayers came in the form of a wonderful Dr. And HRT. So I totally get this video!
Very touching video😢
this is so true
Love this video. So powerful and relatable! :)
During this I was like " No, don't make me cry! " Yet I was crying, I just felt so much emotion in this. And for a couple of days I have been feeling just weird and maybe out of touch with my savior and I want to be able to understand more of the love that Jesus Christ and Heavenly father have for us I want to be able to understand more of the gospel. Amen
I love this.
Amazing, and look at those beatiful pictures of friends and family that resulted from you breaking throught that "embarrass-feeling" trial:)
It is something very difficult but it comforts me that my heavenly father loves me infinitely! ❤
*-cries-* this is too relatable :|
I cried so much. I still have depression but somehow, I can relate to her story. I really didn't want to talk to the councilor or go to the doctor but.. I looked up to God and prayed. I hope he answers my one prayer. to take it all away... My anger, My hate, My sorrow, My agony and My depression
I know that the Savior will help with any emotions that I have in my life.
Like she said that her doctor said: "Who says I can't be the answer to your prayers?" Sometimes we receive the help we need by relying on others.
I love this ❤️ I've been there 🙏
Oh I can so relate. It will take some time but you will get better.
Going through the parables, reading the scriptures and asking help and guidance from the almighty is what I do to keep the depression at bay. The process is gradual but it is getting better.
This is a really good video
You are not the only one
Hallelujah
I’am glad she’s not numb anymore💜. I am so numb and I don’t want to be, the demons in my mind are so LOUD and cant seem to shut off at night, leaving me mentally drained. It’s a constant struggle and it happens over and over and over again.
Right there with you.
Exactly.
I'm going through this depression and anxiety 😢 I'm trying my best I pray to the Lord to please help me I was very close of giving up I been in and out of the hospital one day I was feeling like giving up I heard a knock at the door there were four Elders I thank the Lord for sending them my mom cancer has came back to I been praying to the Lord please heal my mom

I can relate to so much in this video. In particular about not wanting to go on medication. But the past 6 months have been overwhelming, I had to make the decision to use medication. I wish that it would work faster, because I really want to get back to my life. I made a video like this, to let people know what I'm going through, and they are not alone. I'm grateful that these issues are being talked about more, and I sincerely hope that people will seek out the help they need :D

Are you a member of the church of jesus christ of latter day saints. If so call your relief society President or visiting teachers or even the bishop. You must seek help from others. My wife has suggested prayer, I sometimes pray then listen to a motab song or read the scriptures.
Speak with the Bishop he will be able to guide you. Don't give up
Eye In The Sky ~~● Hi, l relate very much
I'm not religious but instead I'm thankful to those who put in the research and work to create he medicines we have today! Science has helped us progress so much and change lives for the better.
I've struggled with major depression, and anxiety since when I was a 2 year old, as well as Autism, ADHD/ADD, OCD, tourette syndrome, etc. I often feel like my broken mind, makes it difficult to do many things, even things that should be "fun." The pandemic made things a lot more difficult than before it. Thankfully, Jesus Christ heals broken things, and people like me. I know that you and I are loved, and are children of a loving God! Jesus Christ heals, and will help us to get through our challenges, through our faithfulness, and by the gift of his grace!
I put myself in this situation and cannot seem to pull myself out for years now
I know this life. Jesus healed me after 34 years of depression hel. Thank you Jesus
i had depression 2 but never give up❤
I know a few people that anti depressants help, I personally tried 2 different ones and neither helped, so not wanting to play the medication hopping game I called it quits. I think it's a case by case, person to person thing when it comes to medication. It might help some, others it could make things worse or do nothing at all. I'm glad it does help some people though.
I found my fiance dead in the kitchen floor of his house, Sept 23, 2019. Been depressed since. Many days I don't shower, leave the house, or eat much. I said the exact same words she said, Jesus take it away. I know I need councilling, just have not got to that point. I will look up this video in the future and I am so grateful to see this. Thank you 💓
Thanks for your comment. We're so sorry for the difficulty and heartache you experience. You are not alone, you are loved, and we encourage you to reach out to those around you and get help. www.churchofjesuschrist.org/mentalhealth
I asked for help, was directed to a therapist @ family services...been for a whole year...was SORT OF helpful but not. He didn't "get" depression. But, the ONE thing I DID get was an answer...found in this talk, "You ARE Receiving Revelation" by Loren Dalton @ Ensign college.
Big long virtual hug across the miles to you from me.
I know how u feel i was diagnosed with major depression disorder when I was five and now I'm 11.
How are you doing now? Hopefully you're doing well and able to manage it.
I don’t remember the last time I was happy.
God allows us to experience "opposition in all things". Without feelings of sadness and misery, it would be impossible for us to know JOY. We need to experience both, so that joy is possible. "Adam fell that men might be, and men are, that they might have joy" (2 Nephi 2:25). Hang in there. Good things await those that love and serve God. ComeUntoChrist.org
At first I didn't want medication. I didn't want to get help. I thought I deserved the pain. For years. Then I got help. I got better. I was able to go to school, shower everyday, brush my teeth and even take my dogs for walks! Now it's so much better, I can do so much! But Im slipping. I've been starting to beat my hands and legs, because else I get frustrated and that's the only way to stop it. I haven't been bullied. My family is perfect.
I'm 11 and I took 2 online depression tests and they were negative
I’m a Christian (non-denominational) and I have bipolar, BPD, anxiety and depression. I wish that God would take all those things away. He gives me strength to get through but it doesn’t go away. These videos give me strength
Ether 12:27 in the Book of Mormon states:
"27 And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them."
God wants you to be humble, so that you can learn to rely on Him...and He has promised that He will make weak things strong, IF we come unto him
ComeUntoChrist.org
😭😭😭😭💔
It surprises me that some Church members still stigmatize those of us on medication for anxiety and depression. Some of us can't overcome these issues without medication. We've tried, and our last resort truly was medication. Yes, we keep the commandments, but we still suffer from this hidden disease. We know that God loves us, and that's why we keep trying, but that knowledge alone isn't enough to overcome our sadness and anxiety. We also know He loves us so much that He has opened the doors of medical innovation to treat such maladies as depression and anxiety.
Yes! Unfortunately there is still a lot of ignorance among church members regarding mental illness. But the more we talk about it and normalize it, the stigma will lessen.
Had a breakdown a few years ago. I better understand my limits. It's still hard sometimes when I'm going through what I call the downward spiral, to recognize that it's not normal. That I'm loved by my Heavenly Father. It's tough I hate it. I hate depression and anxiety. I don't want to deal with it. I get why people commit suicide. But, the good days make it so worth being here.

My mom says ‘open the windows, let the sun shine in’ like that’ll fix it all
