Candace Cameron Bure got emotional while reflecting on her struggle with depression. The\u00a047-year-old actress\u00a0shared a clip from a recent episode of her podcast in which she got candid about feeling \u201cshame\u201d over opening up about her feelings to others.\u00a0She told author Jennie Allen, \u201c[Depression] is such a lonely place, and it\u2019s very difficult to speak out about it, even to your most trusted people.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added, “It\u2019s hard to admit it, at least for me, I feel like, because I should be strong enough to overcome that and then it just feels weak. It just feels so weak. And the perception of that. And I’ll also say that there are a lot of people who feel that it\u2019s weak and will verbalize that. So, then it\u2019s just immediate shame that you\u2019re like, \u2018Oh, well if I struggle with this then I\u2019m weak person.’ Yet there’s so many times when I\u2019m like, \u2018I don\u2019t want to feel this way.\u2019 I can try with all of my might to get out of this, and I can\u2019t pull myself out of the pit. I can\u2019t pull myself out by myself. But it\u2019s hard to extend the arm and go, \u2018Help me.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Bure wrote in the caption of the emotional video, “We\u2019ve been going through feelings and emotions this season on the @candacecameronburepodcast. This week @jennieallen and I touched on how depression has impacted our lives, and how to overcome it.” She added before sharing a quote from the Bible, “If you struggle with\u00a0sadness or depression,\u00a0please know you are not alone. Psalm 34:17-18 says, \u2018When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.\u2019”<\/p>\n
