Sia says Kanye West and Kim Kardashian helped her through her battle with mental issues
Updated | By Poelano Malema
Thanks to Kanye West and his wife Kim,
Sia is now in a better place mentally.
Singer Sia opened up about the time she struggled with suicidal thoughts and mental issues in an interview with Boston's Mix 104.1's Karson & Kennedy Talk with Famous People.
The ‘Together’ hitmaker revealed how she stayed in the house for years, only leaving on Sunday to attend Kanye West’s Sunday Services.

She told Karson and Kennedy she “literally didn't leave the house for maybe three years, except for every Sunday when [she] would go to Sunday Service because the singing was so incredible."
It was during her time with Kanye and the Kardashians where she felt safe.
"When I met them, I felt safe; it was so weird, I felt safe. And I was doing a lot of complex PTSD trauma recovery in the last three years... I didn't realize all of my diagnoses had been wrong. I've only ever had complex PTSD,” she said.
She added how Kim was over-protective of her.
"If she thought anyone in the group was gonna try to ask me for a selfie or was gonna try to FaceTime their children with me, she was extremely protective.
“I was so shocked and also grateful she intervened in a situation that she didn't need to because it wasn't actually happening but she thought someone was about to try and exploit me on her property. And I, just, couldn't believe it,” she said.
