"I just wanted to thank you all for the incredible outpouring of love and support," Alexa wrote.
RadarOnline.com broke the story of Alexa's hospitalization December 5. The pills she'd taken she now says were homeopathic but she nevertheless became so frightened, she called 911. Emergency crews rushed her to St. Vincent's Hospital, where she stayed overnight.

She revealed that she's returning to music and is going back to school. Her most important goal, Alexa said, is to "help young girls with something 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 not understanding, was this her first boyfriend ever? Even then, she can BUY another one because she wont be getting one on looks only.

Money can't buy happiness and is not a buffer from emotional pain. Many callous users take advantage of people in such situations.

Could it be that she is so accustomed to getting whatever she wants that it sent her over the edge when the relationship with the boyfriend didn't work out.

Very sad to see the comments left about a person who's been in pain for whatever reason.

THE POINT IS, THIS SPOILED, PRIVILEGED RICH-KID BRAT DOESN'T KNOW WHAT PAIN IS: UNEMPLOYMENT, A SICK CHILD, HUNGER ETC. ALEXA RAY JOEL SHOULD JUST SHUT UP ABOUT HER BOYFRIEND DUMPING HER.
