\"My dad called me last year and he was like, 'what's going on?' and I told him,\" King said. \"He said, 'what do you need?' I said, 'I need parents, I just need my family.'\"

She went on, \"[We] reconnected and he's got two little girls, my little sisters, and it's so important for me to show them that you can be yourself...and you can celebrate your individuality and your differences and you can be anything you want in the world.\"

King also credits her mom for being one of her biggest support systems.

\"I love her so much and I wouldn't be the person I am without her,\" she said.

King hopes her story helps others who may be struggling with depression.

\"It does get better and so I want to talk about it and take away the stigma of it and show people that there is a way to get better,\" she said. \"You can ask for help and you can reach out and start the conversation and it's important and it saved my life.\"

She added, \"Hopefully if I talk about it more, maybe it will make someone else feel that it's OK to talk about it too.\"

\"Shake the Spirit\" is out now.
