    2 Words - Manic Depression

    Her bahavior reflects someone in a Manic State. Everyone paints Kevin as the bad guy but since he lived with her and we didn't I would think it's safe to assume he knew she was unstable and that's why he filed for custody of their kids, he knew he needed to protect them. Nobody else was doing it, not their mother or their grandparents, or Britney's so called staff.

    Good for him - I think he got a raw deal on this one. He was always ridiculed and presented in a negative manner but he stood strong and took the public scrutiny in my opinion to protect her image so everyone wouldn't know she was 5 cans short of a 6 pack.

    Where"s the worthless piece of crap K Fed? Britney gave him two beautiful boys and he should at least have the balls to be there to help her through this. SHAME ON HIM AND HER MOM TOO! Britney, you're WORTH SAVING GET WELL. My prayers are you get well and get your boys back and get the heck away from the nut cases in your life! And the worthless users too!

    why do we care? I wish her well but I just want here to go away. Gas is 3.00 per gallon, we are about to enter a recession and we are at war, but yet this is important? Please

    i wish she could gethe help she so desperately needs. First she got married to a person, that I really thought was not good for her, but when your in love you don't see that. And that does not matter. the media gave her no chance and then having the babies one after another does not help either. A womans body gets so out of wack, that sometimes you need to get more help. Look at Brooke Shields. With her first she was a mess and with her second she was doing fine. Everybody is different and brit has no one to turn to, because everybody butts in, even her own mother, wich I don't think ever did a good job, and little sis?? She was put on a pedestal and she messed up, or did she? Maybe she just got tired of it and got prego on purpose. You don't know. . And mom Lynn needs to take some parenting classes. As for Bittney, keep your head up., things gonna start getting better, you 'll see. it takes time to heal, make the first step. AT some times it can be very hard to accept help from others, especially if you can't trust them. Give her a chance. They all kinds of other people, who get chances, why not her? So many people are so unforgiving. What happened to all the nice people? I think Brit is realizing that she needs help for herself and then she can focus on getting back on track and get the boys back. As for her carrieer, Idon't know, that is the smallest worry that should be on her mind. Show her that you care, maybe than she sees that and starts getting better. So, if you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all!

    I fear for the poor girl on top of never having had a normal childhood because of her parents putting her and her siblings in show business before they had a chance to be kids, she marries and has children with a man who was nothing more than a gold digger, but the scariest thing is I think she is showing classic signs of being in the throws of postpartem psychosis, and noone even noticed. Where were these family court judges when they were supposed to be in Abnormal Psychology class? The deep depression, the self mutilating(shaving head), second childhood behavior, drugs, drinking heavily, and distancing herself from all who care for her, are all signs the DIMV-I tests look for. Why is noone seeing this?

    I hope and pray that Britney gets the help she needs and deserves regardless of her diagnosis.

    She is obviously very sick and it's so sad that she is constantly held up to ridicule by the media.

    This is the first really good article that I have read about her. It's straightforward, not full of gossip or inuendos and non-exploitive.

    Leave Britney alone! Mental Illness is nothing to make fun of! Britney has given us many years of good entertainment. And now she is sick. Let's give her the respect she deserves.

    I hate to bring up her younger sister, but, I think there's a bigger picture here. I sincerely think Britney and Jamie Lynn are the product of an abusive homelife. Britney herself said that she blamed her mother for her problems. (I didn't read the article only the headlines).

    But, I think in the bigger picture you have 2 beautiful talented young ladies doing some pretty radical things to in my opinion, escape from home life.

    Britney eloped at 18 and then she married Kevin F and quickly had those babies. Her parenting skills are pretty bad perhaps because she didn't have a good role model to begin with. But also, where is her mother in all of this? I know of countless grandmothers who step in ahd help their daughters with their children or fill in the gap when their daughters are lousy parents. Where's grandma? Didn't hear from her during the divorce did you? Did she offer to take the kids or help Britney with them? Hmmmm....

    Then her younger sister is pregnant at 16? Hmmmm.... again something smells fishy here folks!

    Bright, talented, rich young women...

      Thank you for your sensible comment. I been reading others' and it is sick saying its not her mothers fault when i know it is her mothers fault for not being a mother to her children. How else is BRit gonna know how to be a mother if she never really had one or had a bad one for that matter? WE learn from our parents examples and apparently her mom sucks. MAybe Jamie Lynn will take the hint and do what her mother failed to do... Parent, love, embrace her young and steer them correct. Maybe Jasmie will seek help in this department and do the right thing. I hope the mother doesnt get her hands on Jamie baby cuz it will be ruined. Brits mom shouldbe ashamed of herself. What kind of a mother washes her hands with her young daughter with so much to live for.

    This young girl has never grown up or been taught the necessary skills for being and acting like a grown up. She has no business raising chirldren as she herself is still a child. Shame on the mother and father for not sourrounding her with love and parental guidiance when she was growing up and not giving her the mental and emotional skills that one must have to function in the world. This was even more important in her life as she was put under such extreme pressures at such an early age. This young lady has the resouses to get herself out of the limelight and get the emotional and mental help she needs to face not just today, but for the rest of her life. That no one seems to stand up for her and take the steps needed to get her out of this glass house she lives in, I see this as not happening and then the question becomes.....does anyone in her life care enough about Britney Spears and not the money to get her the help and support she needs?

    Let's go back to the roots. This woman has been in the spotlight since she was a very young child. Who made those decisions? Her parents! I believe they should step up and get Britney the professional help she obviously needs. It seems obvious to me that she's definitely caught in some sort of depressive episode fueled by substance use to self-medicate. Normalcy is different for each of us. She needs to seek out normalcy that she can tolerate. If that means leaving show business for a time, so be it. Her children need her and Britney needs her children! If she wanted to just "vanish" for a time, I'm sure she could. Cher went through all this nonsense and maybe she could be a mentor for Britney. Just an opinion.

    bipolar /schi\zzophrenic - where r this girl's parents ?? Helllllllloo...she needs some good psychiatric help if she is to go on supporting her worhtless aprents and sister and her two little adorable "mistakes. " - and lets not forget Kev dog and his K Mart lifestyle...

    • Posted By: SALLY KNOWS IT ALL @ 01/05/2008 11:46:08 AM

      HER PARENTS ARE LIVING THIER LIFE, SHE IS OLD ENOUGH TO LIVE HER OWN LIFE. DON'T BLAME THE PARENTS SHE IS ON HER OWN NOW! IF SHE IS 18 OR 40 SHE IS ON HER OWN.........

      • Posted By: badassbich @ 01/05/2008 12:05:47 PM

        It is her mothers fault for allowing her and her lil si to think they were grown. just becasue they were working and making money does not mean they are ready to make grown up decisions for them selves. The mothers job is make sure sure they are ready to face the world, emotionally, spiritually, and everything else. Brit grew up way too fast and her mother let her go and do what ever she wanted at a young age. She has not had the proper childhood, she traveled alot and was exposed to alot of things way too early. Dont you dare say its not the mothers fault when it is. Parents are supposed to make decisions even if it means lil Brit threw a fit. Mom lays down the law until she is grown. Had the mother steered Brit in the right direction, she would not have so many problems, she would have made better choices. What the hell do you think parents are for??????? IDiot!

    Funny, now we have "BIpolar" as REASON to do and be irresponsible, selfish, unreliable and nasty to boot. Britney Spears DOES have problems, problems she is creating every day by herself. She is , unfortunately living with the mistakes she has made, and like us all CAN NOT go back and change the choices you made yesterday.
    I think the media should be sued and punished for all the situations they themselves have created and while Britney has takenn the blame for. ie: camera mans FOOT RAN OVER.. gee, should of moved out of the way.. better yet , not been on the windshield trying to get a full face shot. We live in a crazy time , when seeing other suffer so badly makes most feel better about they way they live. I am tired of seeing all the garbage that is called news spattered on every webpage, on every entertainment page, every line on every site. So many people have died as a result of media interferance. STOP.. let her get the help she needs. She was a little hot bodied singer who was led to the slaughter house... her sister too !! Shame, shame shame. What does her mother have to do with this??? SHE makes her own choices, when does that end as well?? I am sure her Mother is living in a sad state of mind as well.... so let's make it her fault and make her want commit suicide... get off it., If we stop glorifiing all the hype maybe these young kids would not think it is so " HOT", quit blaming everyone around her... SHE MAKES HER OWN MOVES..... NO ONE ELSE !!!

    It is so sad that she no longer can have the privacy every human being deserves. The photographers have hunted her down like an animal. They are going to end up killing her with their relentless persuit of her every movement. Right now she just needs to be left alone to focus on getting better for herself and her children.

  • Posted By: hammiemiami @ 01/05/2008 12:00:19 PM

    It was a setup. Who would willingly hand a one-year-old to a hired guard instead of his own daddy! Once a woman loses her temper and the police get involved, there is no safe de-escalation protocol. Her life is in danger because she has no one to protect her or stand up for her. She needs her own court-appointed special advocate for herself.

  • Posted By: soundmandj @ 01/05/2008 11:59:57 AM

    Let's get back to the roots. This young lady has been in show business since she was very, very young. Her parents made that call! They need to step up to help their daughter. I'm sure they've had plenty of benefit financially from her success. She could well be manic-depressive. If so, she needs to be removed from her present circumstances until she can cope in the real world as an adult. She has friends in show business that have acted as mentors. They, too, can help her greatly. Normalcy is different for each of us, but that's what Britney needs to seek. Children need BOTH of their parents. Once she achieves normalcy, her kids can begin to benefit from their mother's success and experiences. Seeking out a spiritual person would round out her life. God never turns His back.

    Broke people are so quick to judge others'. Is a womans downfall really entertainment? I think not... and this is sad how every publication is making Brit out to be a terrible person and really she is just a lost little girl who grew up way to fast. She wants to be loved which i dontthink her mom has done. That alone is sad any time your own mother sides with a scumbag against you is a tragedy all in itself. If Brits mom cared at all about family, she would have helped Brit keep her kids. I get the feeling this lady was never a role model for her girls, nor will she be for any of her grandkids. Lets hope and pray that Jamie Lynn has a boy, not a girl bc that would be another precious female down the drain. All Brits mom cares about is money and fame, which is sad because none of which last forever.. here today gone tomorrow which I hope will be the case with the mom... gone tomorrow.. she needs to quit at life becasue she is a loser.

    I'm not a doctor, but for crying out loud this girl is screaming "I'm on drugs!". My personal opinion, meth...she seems to be going through all of the downspiraling phases as one generally does once they become hooked on the drug. First step, everything is a party. Second, having problems with family, friends, etc. Third, not rational or even coherent most of the time and even at times a danger to oneself. So, if I'm wrong- I guess it would be a good thing, but regardless she needs help.

  • Posted By: Katastrophy1951 @ 01/05/2008 11:59:15 AM

    I have not heard anyone mention that Britney could be going through some sort of post partem depression problems. She started acted out after the babies were born and things just kept getting worse after the pressure the papparazzi kept putting on her. She probably felt like she was losing her mind and had no idea why . And no mother to explain to her or make sure she got help for it. The damn papparazzi are relentless and make up stories just to make their damn dollar... remind you of the "princess" who was running from the pap's and died in a tunnel? The papparazzi wont be happy in Hollywood till they kill someone.... I hope Britney gets the help she needs now... BUT I also hope the paps will leave her the hell alone so she can heal................FIND YOUR HEADLINES elsewhere.........and stay away from her kids....before something happens to them!

    AGAIN I THANK THE MEDIA IS IN CONTROLL AND NEED TO WORK ON ISSUE THAT ARE IMPORTANT AND SPEND THERE MILLIONS ON THE REAL ISSUE IN AMERICA. STOP THE NOISE THEY PRODUCE AND HELP WITH THE MAIN RESONS THERE ON TV ANY WAY WE NEED TO STOP WATCHING NEWS ALL DAY AND ALLOW AMERCANS TO COME BACK TO THE REAL WORLD AND REAL ISSUES.

  • Posted By: lgerike @ 01/05/2008 11:55:39 AM

    I agree with ayeola, this poor woman has been HARASSED long enough. You know when I was a kid my dad used to put us on his lap to help him drive all the time, no one thought anything about it back then, there was eight of us, fighting to get to the drivers seat. and what mother wouldn't fight to keep her children??? Maybe they ought to look at the things Federline does. And I don't know but maybe I better quit cutting my hair, I always thought I had the right to cut, color, and anything else I wanted to do to my hair, I didn't know it was a sign of mental illness. My kids might of thought so , sometimes when they came in and I looked like Strawberry Short. HA! I want to know who they are gonna start on now that Britney is in lockup?????? Watch Out. lgerike@ 01/05/2008/ 11:02 AM

    much ado about nothing...

    it mystifies me why people give as much as a rat's a** about this white trash no-talent. be honest, if she were to die this very second, how much TRUE, impact would it have on your daily life?

    do you not have children, loved ones, a career, a pet, a volunteer organization, anything you could better spend your time on?

    WE ARE IN A WAR PEOPLE!!!

    • Posted By: bluedogshouse @ 01/05/2008 11:54:33 AM

      Yes, we are in a war. My prayers go to all our soldiers but that doesn't keep me from knowing that God should help Britney too. Sorry but maybe no one told you that there is a limitless amount of love and a limitless amount of pain that goes with that. By the way, I do have 2 children, loved ones, a home, 2 pets, a class and if i could help Britney or any other young woman suffering with many of the things i have experienced in my life, i think it would be time well spent. Compassion....get some.

    I haven't heard anyone mention that Britney could be going though some sort of post partem problems. Depression causing many problems for her. And with the damn press all over her and putting so much pressure on her on top of her problems . It's no wonder she fell apart. Maybe now she will get the help she needs but the press needs to leave her alone. They won't be happy til theirpressure and interfrencee kills her......I think the paparazzi are disgusting the way they act and should be arrested for their stalking of Brit...
