(Casey) Johnson & Johnson Heiress Dies

[dgfred]

Tiger is an excellent example: It looked as if he had everything- an enormous amount of money, a beautiful family, any material thing in the world he could have wanted... but still not truely happy with whatever he had at that certain moment.

Casey Johnson's Final Facebook Posts: "Sweet Dreams Everyone," "I'm In Heaven"

In her final days, Casey Johnson left a bizarre e-paper trail on Facebook and Twitter, prior to her shocking death at 30.

The Johnson & Johnson heiress, presumably in the holiday spirit, wrote "Merry Christmas everyone! xo" on December 25, followed by "Looking forward to Sunday XO."


Three days later, Johnson wrote: "im in heaven.....Happy as a clam xo," before writing, again, she was "Happy as a clam" the next day.


Her final Tweet, posted December 29 at 1:12 a.m., read, "sweet dreams everyone... I'm getting a new car.. Any ideas? cant b a two seater cause we have a daughter...sedan, sports car, suv??"


"Sweet Dreams Everyone,” she wrote hours later, in her final Facebook post, dated Monday, December 29 at 4:06 a.m.

I did not know she was a diabetic, this IMHO would be some kind of suicide...a diabetic partying and drinking too much :waitasec:

Both Casey and Brittany were diabetic. I think this played a role in their deaths. Diabetes is a tricky disease and sometimes very hard to manage.

I dont really see how money effects the level of ones true happiness. Maybe in the short term it could.
I think it has to do with peoples feeling of security. People think that having money can make them secure. That doesnt always happen.

Security is freedom from anxiety or fear.
Money doesn't make everyone's anxiety or fear dissipate.

You are right that happiness comes from within, You are also right that before I knew about big money I was a very happy person. I did not have my own family yet... but there were times I needed for family and did not have, and it sure made me very very unhappy.

It is not the money that makes one happy it is the freedom from hardships that allows you to be in touch with your innate happiness.
That freedom also allows you endless options.

Someone mentioned Tiger Woods. who in my opinion needs therapy....but tiger is the perfect example of not being his own man...they created a person, whom they put on a pedestal, I am sure that tiger himself is going to find out who he really is with some good therapy.

KNOWING WHO YOU ARE IS KEY. Knowing your center allows you to know your passion...Many of these rich kids are just spoiled not cultivated.

In my opinion, what could possibly be worse than being so rich you could afford anything at all you desire, and still not be happy? So many people think, '...if I just had (fill in the blank) ... life would be perfect'. Imagine being able to afford ANYTHING you desire and STILL not be happy?

At any rate, my hubby has suffered from severe (suicidal) depression and is bi-polar...thank God he is finally doing better...

May she rest in peace...

SO glad your hubby is doing well.

I knew rich people who could afford anything they did want, and they were unhappy.
But if you were to ask my opinion they were raised with having more & better.....THINGS :sick:
They were never cultivated to find their passion, interest.
they were not required to do any work, not even volunteer work....They were not required to have any consideration for their own family either....Some just did drugs and parties, and I had to sever many ties, I was young then but not stupid.
I have a girl friend who is rich and while her kid / my god child - goes to privet school, she has activities that she is required to attend; from music, art, sports, to volunteer work. My God child is only 13 but she will never say to you I am board.
She always has an interest she can get involved with.
And a parent who is available to her.

People have individual qualities which appear a certain way when they aren't. The best parent can have very difficult children. It's very hard to be a parent even with money. Sometimes parents want to give when it's the worst thing. It builds dependence. Rather than spoiling the child, it's really chaining the child to you. It takes away independence and self confidence and leads these kids to misfortune in their lives.

 

[Soulmagent]

Having money simply ensures that your basic needs will be met (housing, food, clothing, transportation) and your bills (hopefully) will be paid, so, to a certain extent, having money does lend itself to some sense of security. If you doubt this, just ask anyone having problems with any of the above.

Your right about it ensuring you can provide yourself with the basic needs,but it stll doesnt ensure security. There are a million things people with or without money can feel insecure about.
While having money may make the poorest happier,it doesnt make the rich happiest.

It's also possible she suffered from depression. That's something that hits rich, poor, young, old. It doesn't discriminate.

And could explain why she'd abuse prescription drugs. Money doesn't fix what's wrong in our heads, yaknow?

Amen Amen and Amen!! :clap:

What's wrong with them is that even though they "have it all", no one ever taught them/showed them how to be happy.

(Maybe I should have added that it seems from my observations that many people who "have it all" but are unhappy nonetheless (whether due to depression or some other cause) often need to seek a new thrill/adventure/experience/possession which provides them with a temporary sense of "happiness", but isn't true happiness, only manufactured by one's surroundings. When the surroundings change or lose their "sparkle," the happiness disappears.)

The kind of happiness you speak of here is only skin deep. Many people brought up with money never learn what true happiness is. IMO these people need to spend some of their money on CBT!http://ptsd.about.com/od/treatment/a/CBT.htm.

IMO

 

[OneLostGrl]

I don't disagree with you that the results can be the same but I will go out on a limb and say that many, not all, of those born of privilege are never forced/encouraged/taught to do anything of real value with their lives. They often do not pursue higher education, work meaningful jobs, invest time in volunteer work, etc. They have had it all given to them from the beginning and their lives are devoid of any real deep meaning derived from working hard at something, anything.

I just read where Casey Johnson's deepest "regret" was that when Paris Hilton asked her to be on the Simple Life with her she turned her down and Nicole Ritchie took the role instead. Kinda says it all for me.

great post!

Her family had cut her off financially.

Though friends believed the incident would force Johnson to turn her life around, more familial turmoil was ahead for the celebutante. Her father cut off her trust fund and her mother, Sale Johnson, took custody of her 3-year-old daughter, Ava-Monroe (named after Marilyn Monroe), after Johnson repeatedly failed to clean up her act and was discovered to be living in squalor, the New York Post reported last month.

Sad. Very sad.

My mom was watching TV this evening and news about this woman came on, and my mom was like "Oh nooooooo not Tila's girlfriend". Had no idea my 70 something mom knew who she was.

Money. Glamour. No matter we all have our own pasts. RIP young woman.

Both Casey and Brittany were diabetic. I think this played a role in their deaths. Diabetes is a tricky disease and sometimes very hard to manage.

I think you are probably right, and that's what LE is thinking, too.

"She was still suffering from diabetes and she was still on diabetic medications," a police source with knowledge of the situation tells PEOPLE. "The speculation is she came home after a night of partying and passed out without taking her meds or her insulin and that was the end of her."

[Celt1997]

I'm sorry but the amount of misinformation about diabetes is astounding. I'm a Type I diabetic and, even if I party all night and don't take my insulin I'm not going to die. Chances are that I'll wake up with a blood sugar reading somewhere in the 400-500's, but I had those numbers the day I was diagnosed and I was fine. Even 6 year olds who are diagnosed with numbers as high as 1200(!) are able to be saved.

Now, if she HAD taken her insulin and then drank alcohol, then she is presenting her body with 2 things that can actually lower your blood sugars. Once your blood sugars begin to get down around 30-40 you start to lose consciousness, and anything 20's or lower can place you into a diabetic coma, which can turn into death in a matter of hours.

Now, if it is true that she had not been taking her meds for a long time, and was not seeing a licensed endocrinologist as part of her care, then, over the course of time (years, or so) she could begin to develop severe heart and kidney problems as a result of very high blood sugar levels. I would assume, however, that the autopsy would show if any of these organs were harmed.

It's my little soap box, I guess, but it drives me crazy, as an insulin-dependent diabetic, to see the media talk about things before they understand them. I'll step down now.

 

[reportertype]

Celt beat me to my thought, which is that she passed out or that her glucose level got so low that she did and there was no one with her to give her an injection or notice that she was in trouble.

I am a little confused. was Tila Tequila on something? Last she spoke with Casey was 12/28? :waitasec:
they were engaged, when she did not hear from her by the 30th just before NEW YEARS EVE shouldn't she have driven over to see if she is OK - I mean this girl did have diabetes, where is the care?
Wouldn'T they have planed to see each other on New Years? :waitasec: Something is strange I think...

WHY WAS HER BODY FOUND ON 1/4 on Monday?
Can someone help me out on this? it is too strange, lovers especially just before the New Year do talk, or at least rush over to see if anything is wrong.
