Heat forward Michael Beasley has taken down his Twitter page for the second time in less than a month.
His latest account, GorillaBeas, was removed from the social networking site sometime overnight Saturday.
Shortly before his account disappeared, Beasley posted a picture of his new back tattoo. It caused a stir because two plastic bags appear on the floor in the background of the shot.
It's hard to make out exactly what is in the baggies, but many outlets are speculating that they contained marijuana.
Beasley made a few frustrated posts prior to taking down his page:
"Y do I feel like the whole world is against me!!!!!!! Back on my FTW!!!!! I can't win for losin!!!!!!!!!!"
"Feelin like it's not worth livin!!!!!!! I'm done"
"not feelin this at all!!!!!"

Michael Beasley checked into an unidentified Houston rehabilitation hospital over the weekend, multiple sources told Yahoo! Sports.
Sources said the Heat encouraged Beasley to check into the facility to address possible substance and psychological issues. He is expected to spend time with former NBA player and coach John Lucas, who is renown for his success in working with troubled players.
When reached Monday morning, Miami Heat spokesman Tim Donovan declined comment. An NBA spokesman also declined comment.
Beasley’s admission comes after a handful of disturbing Twitter posts were attributed to him on Friday afternoon.

Thats what I was thinkingThe world is against him because he is an idiot and posted the pic?
Michael Beasley Sr. made a series of radio appearances on Tuesday morning, revealing some details about his son.
Heat forward Michael Beasley entered into a rehab facility over the weekend for possible substance and psychological issues.
"It went from being fun to a job now," Beasley Sr. said of his son's basketball transformation after being the second overall pick. "So I think the demands of playing 82 games, making appearances, I think is taking a toll on him.
"I was surprised, because I didn't know that it was to this extent."
Beasley Sr. also mentioned the stress that comes along with fatherhood. His son's first daughter, Mikaiya, who was born in May.
"I think it's the overwhelming responsibility of being a father. I think that caught up to him," he said. "He's a new father and I think the overwhelming responsibility is probably catching up with him.
"I know he's under a little stress."
Beasley is not able to have visitors or even speak with anyone outside of the rehab facility currently.
The forward's father is also trying to clarifying reports that Beasley has problems with marijuana. A photo posted on his Twitter page, which has since been removed, appeared to contain baggies of pot in the background.
"I talked to some people and Mike wasn't using marijuana," he said. "I think whoever took that picture was using it or had it in their presence and he was just getting a tattoo. From my understanding, he wasn't getting high or he didn't test positive for no drugs or anything.
"Whose place he was in giving the tattoo, that was theirs. I believe him that it wasn't his, because he passed his urine [test] and everything, so that was just something that somebody else had."
