Damn...just damn. I hope he's safe.  

[llandwynwyn]

That's awful. My prayers are with his family, may god give them strength and that he's found well and soon.

[SinfulPetGirlRD]

****, I really hope he is found and okay. 

Having Bi-Polar my self I know how bad the episodes can be, you could do and sometimes do do stupid things to others or even your self. They are scary and not something to take lightly, sadly getting help for even non stars like us is, or at least feels impossible because lots of people says get over it when you can't. If it's that hard for us 'normies' I cant even begin to think of how hard it must be for famous people to even think about getting help, fingers crossed he is found safe and sound 

[Johnny Shepard]

I hope he is found OK!

[LadyMacTir]

Hope he is found and safe

[mopotter]

Also hope he's found safe, and I will include him and his family in my prayers.

[Lynas]

I'm praying for him and his family...

It seems like there are quite a few people here with similar conditions to Jonny, which is personally surprising, but that goes to show that mental health issues are probably more common than most people think, especially with the stigma associated with them making many hide all aspects of them if they can. I think you're all brave for putting yourselves out there, even if it's on the internet. Keeping things to yourself because of others' lack of understanding is something I definitely understand. If people see that these things are real because they see real people experiencing them, it will make more people understanding instead of ignorant.

 

I wish everyone the best

[HeatherWind]

I dearly hope he's found safe and sound, and sincerest wishes for peace and strength to him and his family.

That link doesn't work but I just checked Jeff Rosenthal's Twitter. Thank God he's alright and at home.

Now, let's give them all privacy.

[NKnight7]

Good that he's been found, let's hope things get a little better for him.

[HeatherWind]

I completely agree -- I'm thrilled that he's alive and at home, and now he and his family deserve privacy.  

[robertmarilyn]

I'm so glad he's been found

I've started several posts and deleted them because I didn't know how to say what I wanted to say but Banshee's post does a good job expressing my thoughts. Sappy as it sounds, I want to give a big hug to all of you who deal with any type of mental illness (I deal with long term depression) and I want you to know that some of us do understand that it's hard, even if we don't suffer from the same thing that you suffer from. 

 

I hope that Greg can now get all the help he needs and all the privacy he needs. 

[shinyfirefly]

That's a relief. I wish all the best to him and his family.

[thats1evildude]

Thank God he's been found. Besides his mental health issues, I feared he'd been kidnapped by some crazed Cullenite who thought Misery was an instructional video.

Seriously, though, this is good news.

• THEY ARE AWARE OF ALL SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS. The detectives are on it. Background checks have seemingly been done on a lot of things.
• I am aware of the alleged Commerce sighting, and there is far more to it, but I'm not allowed to talk about it yet. (I don't have time to explain why I don't have time to explain)

 

MISC things:

•  7 days ago he posted a WhoSay about spending the night on top of a hill. People are speculating that he might be there.
• I checked crime in LA but it hasn't been updated since late April, it serves as no help.
• Greg visited Da Poetry Lounge May 5th. Though it is unlikely that he has been there without ID or phone. Though worth asking.
• Discussion in the Cullen thread.
• His casting agency said some things.

 

Regarding Jeff Rosenhal's legitimacy:

 

Some questions have been raised regarding Jeff's and Greg's friendship, but combined with evidence it doesn't make Greg's disappearance any less legit. Take this with a grain of salt.

 

• Greg mentioned being friends with Jeff over twitter.
• There is some mean-spirited tweets between them but it just comes off as two friends messing around
• They haven't talked trough twitter with eachother since 2014
• Jeff says that he doesn't use twitter that much
• Jeff claims that he's a close family friend.
• Jeff R is a TV/Film producer and has worked with Greg in the past.

• Posted the WhoSay link on twitter and facebook (4:32 PM PST)
• House was found with all doors open, with Greg's IDs and phone left behind. (~5.00 PM PST)

Thursday:

• No Word

Friday:

Saturday:

• GREG IS ALIVE AND AT HOME.

 

EDITZ:

Post was linked on Kotaku and this post got RTd hella times, so a quick FAQverbiage:

 

I do not work for LAPD. I do not know Greg in real life. This post is just a coherent list of things uncovered by Jeff and sources alike. I'm just an ADHD bot translating tweets into lists for all you or LAPD know.

 

Also don't steal things out of this post word by word for every update I post and claim that you found the info yourself. You know who you are.

On a semi related notes, since this seems like a mental health issue. Wether or not that's what's happening to Greg, it's being painted like that by his friend. When things like this happen it might come off as a sign for people to hurt themselves. I collected some numbers:

 

(USA) National Suicide Prevention Hotline: 1 (800) 273-8255

Hotlines around the world

7CupsOfTea (if you need someone to talk to)

 

Extra for LGBTQ youth:

Hetrick-Martin Institute

Ali Forney Center

 

My inbox is open as well if you want to talk to a normal human being. Know that you're not alone and know that you can seek people out.

 

Don't ever be afraid to seek help. If you don't have any problems, don't be afraid to help others. Quoting a friend here:

"It's really important not to think that there is something wrong with you. It's something that a lot of us struggle with, and it's something many people have been trough. It's not a signifier that you aren't okay or you're not going to be okay. Those moments can feel really dark and bad when you're going trough [mental illness], but they're not the full story.  It's not all that you experience but it just feels like that sometimes when you're there."

 

 

Great news he is safe and home!!  Great news to hear!!!

[Eelectrica]

+1 Great news to hear this story has a happy ending with no harm done.

Best wishes to him.

[Marshal Moriarty]

What a relief. Best wishes to Greg and family (which judging by this thread may be larger at least in spirit than he realizes!)

[Heimdall]

Well, that's a relief.

[BSpud]

Yay! I've been thinking about him all day since I heard. Yes, major relief.

[DarkAmaranth1966]

Thank the powers that be it was nothing more than a jag. Happens to the best in the world we call entertainment. Jonny just managed to hide whatever he needed to do the last few days, beats a paparazzi feeding frenzy at his expense at least even if he did worry a lot of people half to death.

 

Hope he stops in here to read this and the last few pages of the Cullen thread and sees how many of us care about him and, that he has fans in the same boat with bipolar. Nothing to be ashamed of. Some might strongly suggest he get professional help but, not all of us. Never easy and this business we call entertainment in that place we call Hollywood is enough to drive anyone batty at times. The roller coaster never stops and, we all know how Hollywood loves to exaggerate already fantastical things - they exaggerate that roller coaster of life big time for anyone in the industry, more so when you are in the public eye as Jonny is.

[VivainaDX]

I am relieved, so VERY relieved to hear this! I don't know what happened, I don't care to pry, I'm just overjoyed he didn't become a Hollywood statistic. There's been too much heartbreaking news coming out of the entertainment industry lately and Jonny would've been missed had things gone bad. That's all I have to say. ((BIG HUGS)) to Jonny, you are appreciated, sir.  

[BansheeOwnage]

I'm so glad he's been found

I hope that Greg can now get all the help he needs and all the privacy he needs. 

Aww, haha, I know what you mean. I restarted my post a few times before submitting it    I'm glad everyone seemed to understand what I was trying to say Our empathy is such an important thing, and downright necessary to improve how people are treated and get them the help they need, whatever form that help comes in. So yeah, hugs all around

Spoiler

 

I'm really glad and relieved to hear he's been found and is safe! Hopefully things start going better for him now! Our thoughts are with you, Jonny.

[Madmoe77]

A happy Dragon Age ending.
