Julia is very depressed, and I don't know what to do. I'm scared. And seeing her so sad makes me feel so sad.
She cries. She doesn't eat...and she's already way too skinny.
She barely talks.
She doesn't watch her favourite soap opera anymore. It's almost like she's died.
That's the worst thing, and I worry she'll never be happy again.
The other thing (which is not as bad) is she's making things happen...maybe. Our electricity keeps going off. The computers are acting funny. It could be the weather, but I doubt it. Our Christmas ornaments shattered. The stuffing in our pillows vanished. Yesterday, our microwave caught on fire. The owners of the Holiday Park weren't too happy when we told them it needs to be replaced...even though we told them we'd pay for it. I think they think we're troublemakers.
I hope all of you have a Happy Christmas. Thank you for your friendship.

She shouldn't let it get to her. He was a jerk; by the way I can still pay him a visit ;). Remember what I said before we are blessed to have magic. He is blinded by lies. We Muggle borns are very proud. I’ll tell you a story about a time I was in school: there was this really mean 16 year old that would pick on me all the time. He would say rude things to then finally I started to say stuff back. Things I should not have said. Then he shouted MUDBLOOD and I hexed him on accident. I panicked because in America at that time there was a big pure blood movement. Finally when I was 16 I had a girlfriend and there were rumors going around about me being Muggle born. She dumped me or broke up with me. Then the last years were not much better. But look at the career a had I worked as a very important person in Magic law enforcement. But this pure blood supremacy gets in the way. Tell her not to worry it will get better. We Muggle borns can do this if we stay together we must not despair. Stay strong stay safe. And you can do magic Julia I’m sure you are a great witch.
Proud Mudblood,
I think it's awful that you and Julia have been treated that way just because you have Muggle parents. Some people are so cruel, and I think they need to see others as inferior so they can feel good about themselves.
It's really ridiculous. People should be judged on their kindness, talents, and what they do to make the world a better place. They shouldn't be judged on their blood and genetic heritage.
So, how are you doing? What did you end up doing for Christmas? Have you gone to any parties? I hope you're not alone, and I hope you're having a good time somewhere. You deserve a lot of happiness.
Oh, Alex, my heart aches for Julia and your family. I've had a lot of adversity in my life, I know how she feels, and I wish I could make her understand that, although things may get worse before they get better, they WILL get better. Believe me, they will.
After my parents were killed, I felt much the same way - pain, grief, anger, depression, a sense of hopelessness. I thought I'd be alone forever and felt like I had no reason to live and couldn't go on. I wouldn't have harmed myself, but I would gladly have welcomed The Killing Curse from a Snatcher or Death Eater. Then the Order took me in, accepted me as part of the "family", treated me with respect, kindness and affection, and put to me to work, keeping me as busy as possible. At some point, I realized that, once again, I had a purpose in life and people who loved me. I had reasons to live, reasons to care. I'll always feel the pain and grief caused by my parents' murder, but those feelings no longer overwhelm me and, in fact, seem like old friends that help me remember the joy of my parents' lives.
Perhaps the best thing for Julia would be to get involved in something that would give her a focus other than survival. I'm not saying she should join the fight or put herself and your family in danger, but she needs to find a purpose in life outside of herself. Even something like knitting scarves and warm sweaters or writing encouraging messages the Order can deliver to "undesirables" on the run will distract Julia from her own troubles and make a tremendous difference in other people's lives. She can always do more, but this would be a good place to start.
Please relay this message to Julia and let her know I will help in any way possible. We all need to take care of each other!
In the meanwhile, I suggest having Julia drink an infusion of St. John's Wort 3-4 times a day (tastes very good with a dab of honey). It will help to ease her psychical pain so that she can think more clearly and make some decisions about her life.
Aoife,
Thank you. I told my mum about the St. John's Wort, and she went to the shop to get some. Hopefully, it will help. I know it can't solve our problems, but maybe it will make Julia feel a little better.
It helps me to hear your story and know that people in a very dark place can find their way out again.
I think you have good advice. Hopefully, Julia will read it because it doesn't seem she'll listen to anything I say right now.

Please be nice to each other, even if you disagree with what the other person is saying.
If you suddenly feel possessed by a futuristic Muggle, PLEASE go to the OOC section to the right.
