A chartered accountant, South African middleweight bodybuilding champion, business owner and now, author of Angel of Mercy, Sheldon\u2019s list of achievements is impressive. But behind it all lies a different story. One that speaks of childhood depression, suicidal ideation, imposter syndrome and the quiet discipline of healing.<\/p>\n<p>Sheldon grew up in Pietermaritzburg, where a diagnosis of depression in Grade 3 set the stage for a life shaped by inner conflict. &#8220;Suicide always felt like an option to me,&#8221; he says frankly. \u201cIt sounds harsh, but that was just how my mind processed life from a young age.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Growing up in an environment where mental health was misunderstood and often dismissed with a simple \u201cstop being sad,\u201d Sheldon channelled his turmoil into overachievement. He became a CA, built a career in finance, sculpted a world-class physique, and pursued excellence in every corner of his life. \u201cThese things looked like success,\u201d he admits. \u201cBut they were actually just ways of coping.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Angel of Mercy, his debut novel, was born from this complex inner world. Initially a form of journalling through several suicide attempts, the book morphed into a fictionalised exploration of despair, depression and the fragility of the human condition. Structured as a collection of short stories, each chapter unpacks a different character\u2019s dark night of the soul, with suicide often lurking as the only perceived resolution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI chose fiction because I didn\u2019t feel qualified to write as an expert on mental health,\u201d Sheldon explains. \u201cWriting gave me the freedom to explore emotion without claiming authority. It felt safer to create distance between myself and the story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, the emotional truths are raw and honest. Readers have\u00a0described needing to pause between stories, to sit with the weight of what they\u2019ve just read. \u201cIt\u2019s not a get-better book,\u201d Sheldon says. \u201cIt\u2019s a book for people who have been through something, who are perhaps still in the thick of it, and need their reality acknowledged.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s striking is his lack of pretence. He\u2019s quick to reject the notion of being a mental health guru, but he also doesn\u2019t shy away from responsibility. \u201cI do think I have a platform now,\u201d he says. \u201cIf someone sees something sincere in what I share and it makes them feel seen, that\u2019s worth something.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mental health, for Sheldon, is less about perfect healing and more about building awareness. He talks about journalling as a tool, about recognising his own \u2018baseline\u2019 and understanding the moments when his processing abilities are compromised. One of the most profound things he\u2019s learned? \u201cYou\u2019re not supposed to feel miserable all the time. Misery has its place. But if getting out of bed takes 80% of your energy, something\u2019s off. And you need help.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s this awareness that permeates everything he does, including bodybuilding. A sport rooted in routine and perseverance; it became a sanctuary. \u201cThe gym is where my mind is quiet,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s voluntary suffering. When you\u2019ve got 150kgs on your back, you\u2019re not worrying about anything else.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now living in Salt Rock with his wife and preparing for the arrival of their first child, Sheldon is entering a new chapter, one that brings with it fresh perspective and perhaps, new stories to tell.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s not rushing the next book, nor chasing another title. What drives him now is sincerity. \u201cTrue healing is when you can suffer something and then be grateful for it. That\u2019s what I\u2019m aiming for.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Details<\/strong>: <strong>IG<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/shelds_dk\/\">@shelds_dk<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sheldon de Klerk talks about depression, bodybuilding and the healing power of writing.
