idk if this is the right section but reports are saying she has an menatal illness. she has ADHD but they also say she has severe bipolair disorder.

i hope people watch out what they say now coz shes human too, but only coz shes famous she gets bashed on.
and she was one of the most down to earth funny stars out there when u saw he rin interveiws and backstage stuff and she gets this? its so weird, what do u all think of the whole britney situation?

[Perna]

I think it is sad that those that claim to love her haven't done a better job with this. Her sister's situation too, I haven't seen any good parenting going on with these girls. I'm very much against clubs letting underage stars in just because they're stars and it's good for everyone's publicity.

I don't think we're ever going to get the straight story on Britney and don't really follow it very closely (have to see/follow it some because it's everywhere one looks) as there's not a whole lot I can do about it? I think between her behavior and "illness" or whatever, her career is kind of on the rocks like Michael Jackson's. It certainly can't be easy for her from now on.

[(JD)]

I guess we can just wait for her to being healing, and then maybe she will become a spokeswoman for the cause? I don't need to know what she's battling, personally, and think it's all the media bother that pushed her.

[Raynaadi]

I really feel for her, whatever her problems are.....I agree that the media pushed her, too much fame too quickly...I just feel for her these days. I hope she finds peace and healing sometime soon.

[Zorah]

we feel extremely sorry for anyone whose life is being exposed by the media

we can't help wondering how sane the reporters lives would look, under that kind of scrutiny

[Rhapsody]

I just wonder if its mental illness that has a hold of her......... or if its that she has to much accessibility at her hands with all the fame and money.

Just something to ponder..... for many celebrities seem to fall into this same trap.

they are all human
I do feel bad for her and others who have thier mental illness exposed for us all to watch

[jbug]

I think Britney needs to quit having so many people around her telling her yes Britney whatever you want Britney. She needs to hear Britney you need help and she needs to be put somewhere where she can get that help so she can get her head on straight so I fear she is going to lose her life.

I remember reading that Britney's mother was going to write a book about parenting. Considering Britney's and Jamie's problems, she should pass on that project.

[SeptemberMorn]

Is it a "mental illness" or is it simply and addiction? Yeah, I know! Addictive personalities are considered to have a mental illness, but still...!

In a major way, her mother's "parenting skills"... or LACK thereof, had a great part to do with how she's behaving now.

Her mother's book got put on hold by the publisher, BTW. Smart move, Mr., whoever you are!

[chalmette70043]

I remember years ago, when she first started getting radio play and getting known. My neighbor took her young daughter and some friends on a two hour trip up to Kentwood to try and catch Britney at her home. They were all excited wanting to get a pic or autograph. When they got there they were chased away by her dad and a rifle. A bunch of 12 year olds.

[Ocean13]

OMG! All the narcotic,alcohol abuse, and possible sexual abuse this girl has put herself through is taking it's toll on her! She messed up in every way! Physically and Emotionally! It shows! And the damn paparrazzi is completely out of control!

I think it's absolutely horrible that the paparrazzi are after her so much. I'm glad they caught her with her child on her lap and stuff, but she's not learning anything from them attacking her at every corner. She just gets more f'ed up so she can drown herself in the drugs and alcohol before seeing them anymore.

It's exactly what Kevin F. (Mr. Wannabe-a-Rap-Star)wants. Anything to make her look bad so he can be paid off by her and he can pretend to raise his children.

At the rate she's going she'll go broke and Kevin won't be getting any money from her.

I wish Britney's family would get tough and help the girl. Where are all her so-called friends?

Oh, and now she's hanging out with paparrazzi? What's his angle? Get all the pics he can 'from the inside'?

This is so messed up!

[Raynaadi]

I think she's definitely got a substance abuse problem, but I was concerned after this last incident, they said there was nothing on her tox screen. I was kinda suprised....I really thought she was on something. So it makes me wonder if there's not additional mental illness on top of the substance problem. I just feel for her. I wish she would let herself get out of scrutiny and get into some place that would help her.

Her mom writing a parenting book? Ugh......

[splitimage]

I really feel for her - It seems like she's got substance abuse problems to me, as well as probably some mental illness, but she's definitely showing poor judgement. I just wish that she could get some real help to get her life back together.

[morning_view]

does anyone one else reckon K-Fed if totally playing on this? I mean, he's not exactly a britney fan anymore - he seems just the type to me to wind her up and make her problems worse - if he cared about her at all he'd be trying to help her, and from what I make of this all, he's thinking all about himself and using the kids to get at her.

that's just my opinion, I could be wrong of course. I just wish her well and hope she gets proper help before it's too late

Brits, song that i think explains how she feels some what
I just posted link to it, from u tube
its called "You want a piece of me"

Her moms book was pulled
no matter how much money you have, everyone has troubles, they just make the news........I hope she gets the help she needs, in the song I think she is telling she needs help..............

[nowheretorun]

i hope britney gets all the love she needs...

[RebbieDoll]

whatever i think of britney, whatever she is, i think it's mostly not her fault, so i feel really bad for her. i wish she would get help, AWAY from the publicity

[Perna]

I saw a "biography" of her last night that I found enlightening. Apparently she has tried too hard to be friends with the papparazzi so has a push/pull thing happening there. The whole looking-at-pregnancy-kits thing recently was for her new "boyfriend's" photography agency to get clients. Dangerous game to play, thinking the papparazzi are "friends" or an adoring public. The psychologists/therapists on the show were saying how the media attention can feel like "love" and can be almost impossible to differentiate from fan "love" or the real thing. I guess if people are taking your picture all the time it would be hard to decide you weren't "popular" or "wanted". She fights with the print media but not the photographers because she can't tell the difference between the way in which she's "wanted". It all feels the same. That's sad.

[AAAAA]

OMG Chal, that totally contradicts her previous public persona of down home country girl.

The mom has passed on the book deal. When Jamie publically announced she was pregnant that deal fell through.

There seems to be a reality problem in Britney’s life. I feel very sad for her.

As for blaming the parents… hmmm I don’t know how I feel about that. It’s not the mother’s fault that Jamie got pregnant.

My niece is a very … troubled young woman. Her parents have done all they can to reign her in and try to keep her in line. But she discovered, much too early in life, that there really is very little that your parents can do to make you behave. When she’s grounded, she just leaves the house. Her parents call the police but what else can they do? She’ll get right up into her father’s face and tell him to f@*k off. She shoved him last time and he shoved her back. Her probation officer was doing a home visit and she tried to get her dad arrested. The PO told her “there’s not a judge in this county that would lock your dad up for that.”

She is going to be 18 this month, but she acts like she’s 12. She’s been to T’s for years. She had the misfortune of seeing a quack for a while. She does this thing with her jaw, cracks it. The orthodontist told her that she was doing damage to her jaw or joint or something. Anyway when the child would do this, her mother would say “please stop that, you’re going to end up having surgery.” (And she really did say please, I would not have.) At the age of 14, the T told the child, while her mother was in the room with her, it was acceptable to say “it’s my body, I know the consequences of my actions and if I want to crack my jaw I will” I’M NOT KIDDING!!! Her mother was reprimanded by the T for the response "it may be your body, but I'm the one that has to pay to have it repaired so you need to treat better."

I love the girl dearly, she reminds me a lot of myself and I understand how frustrating it is to be going through puberty with hormonal and chemical imbalances. The difference was I was afraid of my parents, I had boundaries, whether I liked them or not. It must be scary as hell to be that young and battle your brain and realize that you can make the rules up as you go along. The consequences stink

<font color="purple">I've heard that Brittany has DID. This is something that I just don't get, granted, I don't know alot about her and her personal life...but from what I gather, doesn't it take something VERY traumatic in order for your mind to go to such legnths to protect itself? And even if she did have DID, wouldn't the process have taken longer for her to find out? The diagnosis seems pretty sudden in my opinion, as though they just rushed it so the public could have some sort of excuse for her recent behaviors.

But regardless of if she has DID (or whatever mental illness) or not, she needs some serious help. It makes me curious though about how she would react to therapy...she strikes me as a bit of a spoiled brat, and the kind of person who would put up a struggle until she realises that these people sre there to help her, and that she really needs help.</font>

I heard on the News this morning that Brittney was admitted to a Metal Health Hospital by her Psychiatrist for evaluation due to her mental condition deteriorating over the weekend...... she will be there for at least three days.

From someone that has DID (was dx ten yrs ago) - I have to say when I saw some footage of how Britteny had been acting while she out and about the town with a friend or two the first thing I thought was...... I wonder IF she might have DID?

* * * * * * *

As far as what it takes for ones mind to take on the disorder of DID in order to protect its host.... the severity of the trauma difference with each person as to what they can or cannot handle, therefore, one size does not fit all with DID.

And - the amount of time it takes to Dx a patient with DID depends upon the treating doctor and what experience they have with DID....... I was Dx within four days of my two weeks hospital stay.

[youOme]

I'd be ill if people stalked me at all moments and everywhere I go people harrass me and spread awful rumors about my personal life to the American republic. I'd also be on the verge of a mental break down if I was going through a divorce, fighting for my children, and experiencing intense pressure from work and fans. The girl never has a break...and now she is breaking. I sympathise for her and I'm convinced that her illnesses are caused from life events.

(((Britney and Family))))))

I hope that she continues to seek the treatment she needs and deserves. Althought no one except her will ever know the exact reason "why", I just hope she is on the path to recovery!
