     Johnathon is very depressed; he feels that people don't understand him.

Thursday, June 11, 2009, Nashville, TN., 10:16 a.m.~

Dear Journal~

Johnathon here.  I know I just wrote; however, I feel I need to get something off my chest before it kills me or eats me alive (whichever comes first).

Seems that ever since I said something to Rebekkah, she's been avoiding me; if I try to talk to her, via computer (chat) or by phone, she hangs up or disconnects.  I don't know what I said to her; I don't think I've done (or said) anything that could have been off color.

I wouldn't put it past her to tell others what a creepazoid I'm being.  Well, if she thinks that I am that bad, then I don't want to have anything to do with anybody; I'm better off being by myself.  Seems that all I do is bring people down.

All I did was write in my journal.  All I mentioned that how skinny I was; I wasn't making any references to Jewish people.  I just said I looked like a concentration camp survivor.  Nothing more, nothing less.  I wasn't being anti-Jewish in my statement; I was just saying how I appeared.  If you ask me, I think she's blowing this way out of proportion!

I have decided that I am not going to post anything for a while; maybe it's better for people that I just disappear.  It seems that nobody cares whether I live or die.  So why even bother anyone with my problems?  I can't help the way I am; I'm just a kid going through some serious struggles now, and if people don't want to read (hear) about them, then screw 'em!  I don't need any more crap in my life; my life is nothing but one big, long bathroom break as it is!

I've tried to be a good friend to Rebekkah.  I've tried to be there when she was going through things.  If she's going to treat me like yesterday's welcome mat, then to hell with her; I don't need her, or anyone else, in my life, not even God! 

I sometimes think that God no longer cares about me.  Maybe it's His way of punishing me, to tell me what a shithead I've been!

I don't know what I am going to do any more.  I think I am going to have to do some serious thinking to see what I can do about this, or if I want to continue my relationship with Rebekkah because right now it's going nowhere fast!  I sometimes think I would have been better off without her, or any friends, in my life!

Maybe I was destined to be miserable!  Maybe I was destined to be life's punching bag because I've sure been thrown to the curb enough now as it is!

I guess people think that my stupid MD must be affecting my thinking processes because they think I am not acting right.  Well, if that's the case, maybe I ought to ask mama to take me to the looney bin before I poison anyone else with my presence!  Guess I'd be better off being put away and forgotten about!

If you don't hear from me again, I hope you get over it and go on with your lives; I don't need to be a misery-causing splinter in your world!  I've had it with life; so long!

~Johnny.  :(  >tears!<

Johnathorn, don't feel too bad around your neck of the woods, I am fighting a half dozen VA clerks Goliaths holding only one stone trying to help a Veteran. Everybody has head and heartaches.
And that reference about a concentration camp, always there will be someone that will hear not what you said but what he thought he heard.

Interesting write.

Hopefully he can see there are always
brighter days ahead.

Blessings and take care,

I hope he finds the help he needs, at his age it seems that every set back and minor love spat is a world ending crisis and sadly they do all too often end in suicides. When we know of someone like this we owe it to them and humanity as a whole to try and get them help, I hope his mother can see he is deeply troubled before it is too late.

Depression hurts, but it seems to me he is blaming his problems on everyone else, and doesnt want to take any of the blame himself, great write though

Hi Karen, I feel the pain and struggle in this write! Tell Johnathon to stay strong, that it's not any thing he did or said, and to not let what he thinks other people think destroy him. Walk proud...

In Spirit,
Bear

Aw, man ... hate to hear this, Karen. Johnny doesn't need this stress in his life, and he DOESN'T need to give up. Frustration, very well penned. :(

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
