Michael Jackson 'self-harmed to get drugs'

“He’d bang his head against the wall, hit his fists and arms against furniture, anything to cause a cut or bruise. He wanted to convince his doctors that he’d had an accident and was in a lot of pain – a legitimate reason to ask for painkillers."

“This came up as part of the investigation into Michael’s drug-taking. So far there’s no evidence to prove or disprove the claims.”

"Jackson was reportedly spending a reported €35,000 a month on prescription drugs. As well as narcotic pain reliever Vicodin, it’s claimed he took muscle relaxant Soma, sedative Xanax, antidepressant Zoloft, and heartburn pill Priolosec."

WhooooooEEEEEE! Jacko was one big time junky! He makes those-who-ODd-before look like pikers.

I hope Mamma Jacky is planning on suing herself for not noticing his cries for help.

Actually, Class A Moron, we're planning to help the U.S. press into extinction. Thanks for your comment. I'm sure it will prove use and serve as an excellent publishable example of who the elements of the press (such as The New York Daily News and the New York Post) represent--the basest, lowest elements, who are being pushed into extinction.

It took 15 years for the press to complete its 21st Century-Style lynching. With the outspoken help of racist like you, we should be able to complete our work in considerably less time.

Ciao!

Ok, sure this could be true. However he really was ill with Lupus and it has symptoms of constant pain all the time. If people look closely at pictures (court) of his hands, you can see them swollen in an arthritic fashion, a Lupus symptom. So ya, maybe he was hitting his head and stuff, but it could have been from going out of his mind from the constant pain he was in. A person can only take so much pain. And perhaps the meds he was taking were not helping him.
Keep in mind that he was still a person, not a freak!
Basically his problems go right back to his father, the trial, and the media.
He literally went insane from fame, he was the one who was really "Mentally Molested" by everyone.
How many others could live in his life and come out unscathed? People get real! He was a person with the ultimate pressure of trying to impress everyone, this was his only way to feel loved.
I hope he is at peace, and his torture is over.

Bull
This is real. What you say is true.
Except we are all in the “matrix”.
Who is funding Murray’s attorneys and PR campaign?
Very easy to add a shot of something by someone while the Dr. was on the phone, or slip something into a vial. There is more at work here.
LaToya may be “out there” but she is right that there is more than one here. It is easy to bring enough people together who all benefit from something. AEG, Sony, Tommy M., evil control all coming together to get their piece of the pie. Revenge, money, power, vindication…
Murry plays a part but this is also the fall guy.
Why did it take the police over a month to actually search the good doctors office and storage?
Where are the things stolen from Michael’s house BEFORE the family got there?
Who keeps putting out odd web stories to counter any lead?
We got the old police chief in our town for a while and he about ruined in in less than 4 years. Corruption abounds.
We the public need to keep the pressure on.
Michael represents the good inner child of us all.
love you Michael, RIP

I'm sure he's at peace. He loved people so much and this is what they did and still do to him; I don't know how he could have endured the anguish and the pain so long, but I know he's free now, don't worry, he's ok.
Heal the world, heal MJ.

Don't worry. the truth will come out and all of the smoke will be blown away.

No, He did not self harm.

But Wacko said his lupus was inremission. Didn't you hear about that? Or his spokesman a few months ago who said Wacko "had no diseases at all"? Do try and keep up.

He was banging his head, beating walls, wailing because he was psychotic and manic. The man was a nut and has been severely mentally ill for the last six years with no remission. He has seen somebody in his mirror and shite that was not there since 75. At first this type of psychosis would happen infrequently and only when he was in a sever episode. But then it became soemthing chronic. He heard things not there. He has been changing his face to become this entity he saw in his mirror for years. Sometimes the entity seemed more female and sometimes more male to him. He was very, very disturbed. He was a very lonely man, probably only loved by certain children. The family hid his problems as best they could and then ignored them. He should have sought steady psychiatric help here in America than where he roamed overseas.

His mother or somebody who loved him should have seized control of him and his estate years ago like Britney Spears' parents did for her. Only, nobody cared that much for MJ. He was just a money machine to most everybody.

Drugs, of course, did not help the problem a whole lot. He did not intentionally get hooked on them. But at first, they helped cover his mental illness and provided a certain solace until they too began to eat him up as well.

What's amazing but not really, is the callousness of everybody around him towards him. They work there and he wails at night and nobody does a dagone thing year in and year out. His sufferring became something common place and acceptable.
This reminds one of the asylums of the forgotten lunatics of yesteryear where peole screamed, wailed, howled, bashed themselves dementedly in their psychosis and nobody did a thing. SO sad!

can't believe its actually sombodys job to make this stuff up. everyone around Michael in the months leading up to his death said he was happy healthy and extremely excited about the shows.

He has not been happy in years. He was manic. Manic people seem extremely excited and optimistic. They give off they can conquer all. Look up manic and then you will understand more clearly.

Because of his manic-depression he could not work except during his manias. Only they did not last as long as he grew older he spent more time miserable and psychotic than deleriously manic. The nature of his illness is to suddenly plunge him into different moods and behaviors. He was manic there and threw himself into rehearsal until it got severe and rendered him more psychotic and completely insomniac. Then he fell like a rock back into the psychotic depression that he has battled since seventeen years old.

He threatened to pull out a third time from a tour already booked. The night/wee hours he died, he was extremely agitated, psychotic and unstable. He ran around crazy, ranting, writing feverishly and sticking things on the walls, beating them, suddenly sobbing, pulling things out of his draws with bright ideas and then moving on to other rants and threats to pull out of the tour. He kept people up as he was wont to do when in his fits of lunacy.

The doctor has yet to admit it but he dosed up MJ on a lot of medication including Invega, Xanax and multiple sleep aids such as Ambien. These didnot immediately calm MJ. About a half hour later he complained of muscle pain in his legs and back.Murray gave him Soma. Then later on the multiple doses of medications calmed MJ down some. At that point, Murray anesthetized MJ with Propofol and left him unattended. MJ died. Murray covered it and sanitized the place. He called his lawyers and cranked up the heat. He then called EMT about six hours later.
There you have it as to what happened and how MJ died.

Why do you think no one "helped" him? I suggest a lot tried, but Wacko just ignored them.

Or, alternatively, Wacko was a creep and no one wanted to help him. More likely.

Not one person around Michael ever saw him abuse or under the influence of any drugs.

Uh - I have to ask - what insane asylum are you posting from?

Hurting yourself to gain love and attention is not a new thing. Michael Jackson had an illness and severe emotional issues that were made worse by his extreme fame and social issolation. Top that with the torment he endured over the child abuse allagations, and its amazing he lasted as long as he did. Why is it that people has so little sympathy for people with emotional illnesses? Most of them try to self medicate as a matter of self preservation...it usually never ends well, but it is unfortunately very common.

It must have been hilarious to sit back and enjoy watching Wacko "self-harming" himself. The endless head beatings, screaming, self immolation and shaking fits were probably most entertaining.

I wish they had offered admission to the gory spectacle; I would have bought season tickets for front row seat!

Why do you keep making excuses for this weakling?

Wacko is just one more piece of evidence that Darwin was correct.

The editor: pThis is a whole 'nother level of addiction. Most addicts *claim* pain but very few ever go to the bother of actually inflicting it upon themselves. I told you Wacko would rewrite the book on addiction.-ed.]

The man was ill. Since when does illness demand distain? Its not "excuses", its compassion.

YADA, you again.... you could be a very good journalist, to the point, objective, calm and unemotional, looking for the truth. My heart is fighting with my mind because there is something about what you say....did you know Michael personally?
