The Envelope – Alexa Ray Joel, just under a month removed from her hospitalization for an overdose on a homeopathic medicine called Traumeel, has opened up about her depression on her Myspace page.
Joel writes, “Hey Everyone!!! I just wanted to thank you all for the incredible outpouring of love and support. It’s certainly been a whirlwind of a month, but reading all of your encouraging posts has never failed to cheer me up!!!”
After revealing she asked for an old-fashioned typewriter for Christmas (we love the typewriter sounds too, Alexa!), she continues that she wants “to help young girls with something I feel I know a GREAT deal about: Heartbreak-Related Depression. Although it does not get much attention in our society, it is a very serious and painful condition that often gets “swept under the carpet”. I hope to bring this topic more to light… I’m even going back to school for Psychology in hopes to learn more about this and many other afflictions that many of us have had to face.”
