Transcript

Please send prayers for #perezhilton. Do yourself a favor and get off the internet for the night. We've all heard about Perez Hilton and if you haven't, do not look it up. I am begging you. As somebody who likes true crime and all of that type of thing, nothing gets to me. I saw the video. It was not good. Do not go looking for it. Send your prayers, your good vibes, whatever you believe in to Perez and his family. Hopefully, they get to him in time. Please, if you or someone you know is experiencing SI thoughts or HI thoughts, please seek help immediately. This was clearly some kind of break with reality. What I saw tonight as someone whose degree of psychology was very clearly a psychotic break. I have heard that it is possibly that he went into the religious side of things because he was ill. That can happen, that is a very common thing for someone to get a serious illness and religion. I am not saying that religion is bad. I am saying that sometimes when people are ill and they look to religion, it can taint your thoughts and you know, if you've been sick and you don't have the right nutrients, just a lot of things can happen. So please, take care of yourselves, take care of your loved ones. Do not watch the video. I cannot stress this enough. And please take care of yourselves.
