On August 8, 2019, Letoya Johnstone took to social media to share her harrowing story of suicidal thoughts and the emotional pain she has been experiencing.

She revealed that she feels sorry for those who look up to her, as she does not want anyone to be like her, and that she has gone through major scarring experiences.

“When people choose to break you, they find power that can reciprocate their own emptiness. Sometimes I see youths wanting to be me, but what they have no idea about is the things I have to endure for me to thrive,” she said.

Letoya has been subjected to emotional and mental abuse, which has left her feeling numb and helpless. She has lost dignity and has worked under high-powered hypocritical situations, doing things that she is not proud of for a dollar.

“I have been cut open many times, and sometimes I bleed on those who never cut me. Those are like shattered mirrors. I have been blamed and suspected, and I have been put through emotional and mental abuse until I almost took my own life away,” she revealed.

Letoya's heartbreaking plea for help has left many concerned about her well-being. She has begged, cried, and tried to be nice, but still, she feels like she is being cut by the windows of the house she keeps building.
