Britney Spears: Not on Drugs!

Last night, authorities said that Britney Spears appeared to be “under the influence of an unknown substance.”

Life & Style is reporting that Brit’s blood tests at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center came back negative.

“Her blood test just came back, and, thank God, it was clean. There are no traces of drugs or alcohol of any kind,” a source says.

Brit’s father, Jamie, and her ex, K-Fed – as well as both of her sons Sean Preston and Jayden James – were spotted at the hospital with Britney.

WHAT DO YOU THINK is wrong with Britney if she’s not on drugs?

I think she is mentally unstable, which in reality isn’t all her fault…

maybe she’s getting crazier and crazier everyday?!

damn…I wanted to be 1st

# 5

First reports said the police were saying she was on something. So what was it? A mental issue or just another pathetic publicity stunt? God I hate her.

# 7

She’s depressed.

# 8

Bipolar disorder.

# 9

She’s crazier than a shite house rat, that’s what’s wrong with her. She’s fuking crazay and compounded by a gigantic ego.

the media is driving her bonkers. she can’t friggin breath. just like the Princess, Britney will probably be another casualty of the media. I hope not.

Maybe the media is making her crazy. You know, those crazy camera fanatics!

stress, nice to know that it wasn’t drugs, since she is a known drug addict. means she has feelings and wants her children.

stud, probably… the papz could be a little annoying sometimes.

My heart just goes out to those little boys—man are they going to be messed up someday. And she is just whacko—her mother sure created a couple of losers.

And who cares if you are FIRST here?? WHY is that such a big deal?

I do think there is some serious mental issues going on with Britney.
There were reports in the sumemr that Britney suffered from post partum depression. There is probabyly a high chance that she had this with her first, Sean and it was not dealt with and than and a second pregnancy and baby into the mix so soon. It can and very well have turned into post partum pschosis. Very sad.

I do at times feel for Britney. She was so young getting into show business, it mkaes me wonder if she has the mental capacity of a 25? year old How old is she? Let alone to take care of her self but to raise two toddlers.

I wonder if this incident has anything to do with Britney seeing pictures f K-Fed partyng with Paris Hilton around New Years….and she snapped.

KRUNG KRUNG @ 01/04/2008 at 10:56 am

she loves a10shun y’all.

It worries me MORE that she doesn’t have drugs in her system because now it just looks like she is mentally unstable & DOES NOT need to have those kiddos alone at any time.

Sounds like classic sympton of manic depression

don’t think it was k-fed with that foreign country, k-fed is a bad singer, and is no angel either, his life isn’t under a microscope, so he can hide his dirty secrets.

LadyOfShalott @ 01/04/2008 at 10:58 am

Ama, I totally think it has to do with the pics of K-Fed and Hilton. I’m really sure of it, actually, and it just breaks my heart thinking how she must feel.

omg, all you teenagers think that anything a famous person does, is for attention. lol, when you grow up, you’ll realize the famous are under a microscope, they do not control the media- the pictures and words are all the media’s.

paris isn’t pretty, nothing to worry about, she probably thinks k-fed is trying to boost his career, and is laughing about it.

there isn’t anything wrong with Ms Spears, If she was left alone and not hasseled every second of her life she would get on with her life. but she is tourtured and abused every day. leave the women alone the news media will be responsible for her demize. remember Princess Dia.

Yea. And Life & Style has such a track record for reporting 100% confirmed facts.

-eye roll- Bipolar and self medicating with substance abuse.

I doubt anyone on this board has the credentials to even speculate as to her mental condition. I hope she gets the help she needs and I hope her babies are put into a safe and loving home.

Either she is loosing her mind or it is all a well played act-with even her lawyers wanting to quite come on! Maybe that is why K-Fed left. He seems more stable for those boys

I genuinely feel that K-Fed is the cause of Britney’s angst.

POST PARDOM DEPRESSION!!!!!

remember da truth @ 01/04/2008 at 11:09 am

OH Puh-LEASE!!!!

Nothing wrong until all of a sudden a pic of K-Fed and Paris together? She avoided depositions for months, and you want to tell me that she really wants her kids? She only sat in the deposition — no press there, by the way, nice and peaceful all you media-blamers — and walked out into the media only 14 minutes later.

The woman is obviously mentally ill, and has been for some time. She compounds it with LOTS of drugs and alcohol, and after three hours of refusing to hand over her kids after refusing to be deposed, she happens to have nothing in her system now.

She needs help, that’s obvious, and the media chronicling her weird behavior is not CAUSING the weird behavior. No, she doesn’t act like a normal 25-year-old, nor like most 15-year-olds who have ANY sense of responsibility.

You can blame whoever you want, but Britney and Britney alone is making the choices to NOT get help, NOT listen to those who want to help her, take drugs and party, refuse to admit she has problems, and endanger her kids. It’s people like you folks who tell her “nothing’s wrong with you, it’s all the media/your mother/K-Fed/Paris/showbiz’s fault that are literally driving her crazier than she already is!!

Britney is bipola! one time she is good, and another she is angry. It´s not mental instability, but something that people in this day´s sofer.

maybe borderline or bipolar disorder???

What’s wrong with Brit?

(1) She’s mentally ill, and/or

(2) an out-of-control brat who thinks she can do anything she wants because she’s rich and famous.

oh she definately has some serious depression! my sister in law got it and she was a totally insane, but she couldn’t help it! she got help and a couple of years later she is back to normal. I am really glad she didnt have drugs in her system, i bet that has shut up a lot of haters here!

Britney is mentally unstable. In my opinion, she has gotten to the point of not being responsible for her actions.She needs professional medical help, and for the paparazzi to leave her alone. If she hadn’t been famous, she would just be a sad case of hopefully treatable mental illness.

–read my blog at http://fashionpoirot.blogspot.com

I am glad it’s not drugs. NOW they can focus on her mental health and get her the treatment she needs. “Get well soon Britney.”

She’s bi-polar, with manic schizophrenic tendancies. the symptoms are cut and dry. she needs to be treated.

She is classic Bi-polar it is very sad. She has a mental illness and need medicine and therapy. This can kick in during late teens and early twenties. Maybe she will finally get the help she needs because suicide is a common thought when your bi-polar.

What Is Postpartum Psychosis?
While it is the most extreme form of postpartum mood disorders, postpartum psychosis is also one of the rarest. Usually described as a period when a woman loses touch with reality.

Signs of postpartum psychosis include:
Hallucinations
Delusions
Illogical thoughts
Insomnia
Refusing to eat
Extreme feelings of anxiety and agitation
Periods of delirium or mania
Suicidal or homicidal thoughts

Women with a personal history of psychosis, bipolar disorder or schizophrenia have an increased risk of developing postpartum psychosis. Likewise, women who have a family history of psychosis, bipolar disorder or schizophrenia have a greater chance of developing the disorder. Additonally, women who have had had a past incidence of postpartum psychosis are between 20% and 50% more likely of experiencing it again in a future pregnancy. Experts aren’t exactly sure why postpartum psychosis happens. However, they do offer a variety of explanations for the disorder, with a woman’s changing hormones being at the top of their list. Other possible reasons or contributing factors include a lack of social and emotional support; a low sense of self-esteem due to a woman’s postpartum appearance; feeling inadequate as a mother; feeling isolated and alone; having financial problems; and undergoing a major life change such as moving or starting a new job.

I have seriously thought that this is what Britney has had right from the beginning. I had friend suffer through this and it is devastating. This poor woman needs help and the suport of her family and friends. She needs to get help, get better, get the hell out of where she is living and move away and start her life over. So she can hopefully be a mother to these boys before she ends up locked in a mental institute for the rest of her life.

People always assume Britney does everything for attention. Maybe she has too much things on her mind and couldn’t handle the depo…

Of course she is on drugs, if she is not then she is in even more trouble than she knows. To act like that with all your faculties………..

Hmm. Maybe she hasn’t been getting enough sleep?? She has dark circles under her eyes. She must be losing sleep. Mostly likely because she is worried about something. I’m guessing she is worried about losing her kids?

gypsy marie @ 01/04/2008 at 11:21 am

i know whats wrong with her…people won’t leave her the **** alone for a second and the people who are supposed to love her the most aren’t supportive enough!

Umm I think what I have thought for a long time, she is a spoiled, retarded, nasty brat who thinks she can get away with whatever she wants to do. She needs her ass in jail.

I am so glad they did not find drugs in her system. I just hope and pray that young lady finds her way. I cannot imagine how horrible it must be to be so young and have every mistake judged and published in a negatie light, sometimes before the facts are even known which this is an example of. Not that she hasn’t made mistakes, but who is Kevin Federline. No one knows or cares because he doesn’t sell papers.

I watch the video with her on Perez, and she was looking at the camera then she starts acting crazy like she didn’t know what she was doing. Attention seeker anyone???. Jamie-lynn magazine sales beat hers , so maybe this is a way of being back on TOP!!.

She’s NOT CRAZY. SHE’S A RICH SPOILED BRAT.

I agree with those who think Britney has Bipolar Disorder or Manic Depression as someone mentioned. These illnesses are one and the same. The older term used was Manic Depression it is now called Bipolar Disorder. My son is 15 and is Bipolar . He was diagnosed at 10 years old. Many times the illness starts in the late teens or early to mid 20’s. She has classic symptoms of being Bipolar. Without meds she has a 25% chance of committing suicide. A very strong characteristic of the disorder. She needs to be on meds and soon. She has been self medicating with drugs and drinking. I really feel for her and her family. I really hope I am wrong , but she sure is presenting signs of the illness in her behaviors. If she is not bipolar, I’d really be surprised. God bless her and her family . Maybe now she will get the help she really needs.

KRUNG KRUNG @ 01/04/2008 at 11:30 am

can’t believed this trashloids have an access to your medical records/results, i would sue them if i am a celeb, don’t care if it will waste my time and money, they need some ass kickin’ action.

It really breaks my heart to see her like that. She seems to have a mental illness, worsened by constant media scrutiny and life circumstances.

It seems like she’s nearing the end of her rope. I hope nothing bad happens to her, for her sake and that of her children.’

I’m guessing that she is bipolar and is in a stress/diet induced psychosis. No food and no sleep causes mania and psychosis, yall.

KRUNG KRUNG @ 01/04/2008 at 11:36 am

it’s the stupid papz that needs to leave her alone and also she needs to leave far far away, i know i heard this b4 but it never works, so.

WHAT DO YOU THINK is wrong with Britney if she’s not on drugs?

Where does one begin?

She is a mental issue and I wish her the very best. It is a hard place to be in in general but to have it happen inthe public eye is worse. I had almost the same prolem few years ago and I had a down right breakdown at work… but only my co-workers saw it, not the world. I am praying for Brit!

Yeah right, someone from the hospital contacted Life& style of all place to tell them…………..

It’s a lie..Patient Confidetiality people.

BWAAAAAAAA

KRUNG KRUNG @ 01/04/2008 at 11:30 am can’t believed this trashloids have an access to your medical records/results, i would sue them if i am a celeb, don’t care if it will waste my time and money, they need some ass kickin’ action.
_________________________________________________
They lied, don’t you get it. I think there are some kind of drugs involved.

For a tab to say they have information is a bold face lie and the hospital should sue them.

i think she’s losing it!

I feel sorry for here. She have a probl and are in need for help not pap al the time. I can’t believe how cruel people are.

I had been crazy myself if I had lived like here. Som one ho always has an opinion about my hair, eye,clothes, boots,how I treat my kids, you name it!!

Leave here alone!!!

‘Good’ to see Shitney’s still trying to get the media’s attention.

she obviously has a good masking drink to cover it up… of course she’s on drugs…if not, she needs to be.

[~Famous~] @ 01/04/2008 at 12:05 pm

of course she’s on drugs.

her life will be done before the year is. lmao

THIS IS AN ILLNESS. Britney needs help. The 72 hour evaluation might be the best thing for her. A family member (sister-in-law) went through the same thing. Bipolar/very very depressed, very unhappy, paranoid, didn’t like to be told what to do, didn’t want to take responsibility for her actions, felt unloved, unwanted, and had very low self esteem. Was on meds added alcohol then perscription drugs by doctor shopping, then smoked crack. She has a loving family to stand by her who didn’t know how bad it was so didn’t do anything. By the time my sister-in-law hit rock bottom she had one friend left, but this woman was also on drugs. After saying she was going to kill herself, picked up for 72 hour evaluation. Ended up spending 30 days in rehab but 6 months later she is sliding back into her old habits of doctor shopping for drugs. Just think, my sister-in-law has a loving husband, not divorced, not having her children taken from her, supportive parents who love her unconditionally, and very few people know of her problems, and she’s still in trouble.. If this is truly what Britney’s problem is, what do you think the 24/7 stalkers are doing to her. Then there is the lazy good at nothing ex-husband and his lawyers, parents who could care less about her, and then of course every news agency and their crystal ball forcasting her future.

k fed is stupid guy make de brit~s life terrible and empty because him is crazzy for her money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She is a freaking nut case. clearly she has lost sight of reality and should never be left alone with a child. God what did her family and friends do to her to make her turn out this way. A family of white TRASH!

I fel so sorry for her two boys, hope they will be propper taken care of in the future…….

For celebs there is no “patient confidentiality”. Someone on hospital staff is a lot richer today than they were yesterday. That bit of info was probably worth at least $10,000, maybe more.

she is mental ill
she need good shrink help and good pills

K Fed made her go crazy.
And I believe it was obvious by the time they made those pics for that magazine..i think it was W magazine..they were at th backyard having a BBQ or something like that. That was my “britney is going crazy’ signal.
=/

I think she has one or a combo of post pardum/ bi-polar /schizophrenia/ and depression. Its hard to be a huge child star and then “lose” that image because you are growing older and having babies (but your mentally still a spoiled child.) She can’t deal with reality so she surrounds herself with paps because she craves attention. Has anyone wanted her love/friendship for real or because she rich and famous and they finacially benefit? I think she needs tough love and people to stop letting her get away with her bad behavior. Maybe she will be forced to get serious help and straighten out. Also I have to mention that she could be surpressing/not dealing with something tramatic and its causing severe anxiety and for her to sabotage her own custody case. Still, sorry to say I feel little sympathy for her.

omg leave her alone kevin used her for her money and when she finally wised up he took her kids….he gets 50,000 a month for child support come on

I hope the 72 hours is long enough for a proper evaluation. I’m bipolar, and have been saying all along that it’s probably what’s wrong with her. And you have to know that those children know something’s wrong with their Mom. I hope she gets the treatment she needs - and sticks to it, which is one of the major issues with bipolar patients.

its good to be me @ 01/04/2008 at 12:36 pm

I feel bad for this girl!! Hopefully, this will be a wake-up call for her to get some help. What I am waiting on are her mental tests…they are testing her for bipolar disorder and other different mental disorders.

chemical imbalance, maybe her behavior is not all her fault.

get_a_hobby @ 01/04/2008 at 12:38 pm

i’m not a fan of hers, but it’s obvious that she’s having a really hard time dealing with her family breaking apart the way it did. seems like her marriage and kids meant the world to her, and now that situation’s totally crazy… she can’t get a break anywhere either - she’s hounded 24-7. we’ve all got commentary for days, but that’s easy when you don’t walk in someone else’s shoes.

Post Partum Syndrome: a very serious form of chemical depression following childbirth, that must be treated with medication. Britney is in serious trouble, and if this condition is not diagnosed and treated, she could become a danger to herself and her children.

I just hope she gets help, it can happen look at Angelina, there’s hope lets just hop she gets it and doesn’t pull a Anna Nicole Smith!

Possibly post-partum psychosis maybe. Seems a little more than post partum depression. I feel deeply for her and those babies.

She is too on drugs. Probably crack. She needs her children taken away from her before the end up at the bottom of a river or something when she drives off a cliff trying to end her misery.

Wow- it is almost worst that she is drug & alcohol free. I feel sorry for her she clearly has a potentially serious mental disorder. Someone needs to get her some help beyond an emergency room.

JARED! Thanks for not posting an ugly photo :)

What’s wrong with her?…
Definitely bipolar…

she’s not crazy or whatever but she just want to staying for her children for god sake!!!!!!!!

just a thought @ 01/04/2008 at 1:13 pm

Its called a mental breakdown. She doesn’t need to be on drugs for that to happen. The curious thing about this is that the pap that was stringing along with her the days prior mentioned all the signs of someone going into a mental breakdown state. the incoherent rambling.. the odd behavior…The signs wee all there and given the fact she gave birth and that does affect the brain somewhat. It is not uncommon in women after giving birth.. Dr. Phil was the first to say she may need help for PPD. way back when she had her second child. He saw the signs over a year ago.

She is sooo not bi polar, she’s just a selfish, pigheaded, imposing, egomaniacal, megalomaniacal, desperate, fugly clown.

I feel really bad for her! I think she was madly in-love with Kevin and when he left her, it broke her heart and that’s why she is acting out! I did not see all of the episodes of that reality show she had with Kevin, but the few episodes I did see, I could tell she was madly in love with him! As good as Kevin has turned out, I still think he was after her for her $, this was all part of his plan!

I hope that poor girl, and no, I am not a fan, gets some much needed help! She needs to leave the lime light behind! Go move somewhere quite and save your money because you are not going to work in Hollywood anymore.

Good luck Brit!

spoiled emotional woman….so what……theres millions just like her.

Nadia likes Sienna!! @ 01/04/2008 at 1:36 pm

SHE IS CRAZY.

I believe it’s a mental breakdown, I’ve seen it first hand in a mental hospital, this guy was at work and all of the sudden he just snapped and when he got to the hospital he went nuts and started breaking everything and thowing the staff around it can happen believe me! At least know they can make her stay and get the help she needs, as far as Kevin goes he’s the scum of the earth, he’s in Vegas like every weekend, the kids need stability and lets just pray they get it. I wish JT would say something about Britt, he knew her pretty well……

Shannon M. @ 01/04/2008 at 1:42 pm

This is just a cover up by saying that she didn’t have any drugs in her system or she is just really crazy!!!!! Her parents should of taken her out of LA long time ago.

Too bad that it’s NOT drinking or drugs. At least with drinking and drugs, you can go through rehab or something and then get back on track. You can be treated. If she’s just crazy, or mentally stable, well, that’s something that’s harder to treat, not as easy to “fix” - it could be a problem that she’ll have to deal with the rest of her life.

She really needs help mentally and emotionally but can’t blame her for what’s happening to her life right now. She was used by men she thought that loved her.. K-fed just want her money, pretends he really cares about their kids, he just want a lifetime financial support from her that is why he needs to keep the kids. He ruined her life and so the money hunger papz who keeps tailing her whenever she goes even to the convenient store bathroom.

She have no privacy at all, her life is messed up and she’s not strong enough to handle being a celebrity. She needs to go away from the Hollywood life but I guess we can’t tell her what to do except to hope that she’ll change while it’s not too late yet.

stress. just stress she will be ok , see money cant buy happiness

WickedWench @ 01/04/2008 at 1:51 pm

Syphillis has eaten holes in her brain, aka “the swiss-cheese effect”.

It’s the “friends” that put no responsibility for her action in her lap and instead decide that it is all - media, kevin, her mom, the dog down the street, blogger, you name it let’s blame everyone but not dare expect or ask Britney to take any responsibility for getting her life in order. Drugs or Mental she could and should have seeked help without it being mandated by the court

She is sick…she probably tried to take something like a bottle of Advil to OD (hence the initial reports that she was on an “unknown” substance but the Sinai tests came back clean) when she had to hand over both of her kids and she just snapped. It’s been a long time in coming.

I’m with everyone else here- this is probably one of the best things that could happen to her, to be under a mandated 5150 watch for at least 72 hours. There’s no denying she’s got mental problems after this, so it’s time to get help.

Perez said that some tarot reader on Mexican TV predicted that she would kill herself this year- maybe he was half right, and the OD happened sooner than he expected.

Ok if it’s not because of drugs this time and it’s mental that’s probebly even more sad. But of course slowly every thing she done since splitting with JT has not been working on her mental state.

caliblonde @ 01/04/2008 at 2:37 pm

No shes not shes under so much stress no one knows the pressure thats on this girl her every move is watched and talked about leave her alone so she can get herself together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

omg i feel really bad 4 britney. God be with her, her family, and her little boys. i hope they really do help her out. those doctors…unprofessional much? seriously…wow anyways britney’s gonna make a comeback and i pray that she’ll be alright.

BRITNEY WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!

How did a blood test come back negative for drugs so quickly? and who told L & S? It’s too bad that the paps have to stalk her…her children someday may see these types of photos of her and that would be really sad…

Here's The Deal @ 01/04/2008 at 2:58 pm

I am so sorry for her boys. They don’t deserve any of this sh*t they’re going through.

As for Britney, I honestly don’t know anymore. It’s hard to believe that just 7 years ago, she was successful, seemingly happy, etc. Now she’s hit rock bottom. Mental illness? Hmm, maybe. That sure would explain a lot.

It’s kinda obvious she’s sick not just drug addled. As to what illness she has? Who knows there is no such thing as a “classic case” of anything when it comes to mental illnesses. Bipolar isn’t just something you “get” like a cold, you have it your whole life, she hasn’t been acting strange since she first started in showbiz so it’s kinda unlikely it’s bipolar, more likely post-partum psychosis or just really bad depression.

I really feel sorry for her and her kids. It’s no one’s fault and it’s about time people stopped shitting on her from a great height, in the end she just strikes me as really really lonely and that is sad. Just proves money doesn’t by you happiness really.

reality check, you don’t know the exact time she was taken to the hospital, for the tests to come back, you only have the word of the paparazzi. she has feelings and wants her children. whatever is wrong with brittney, time will tell. do unto others, as you would want them to do unto you. and jealous of paris? come on, k-fed only thinks he can jump on another coattail. brittney is probably laughing about it. k-fed is nothing but a pain in the neck for right now. he doesn’t have paparazzi following him 24/7, so we can see his dirty deeds.

attention whore @ 01/04/2008 at 3:09 pm

Bipolar my ass! She is a selfish publicity ***** that will do anything to get her name in the media for attention. She has thrown every excuse in the air for her actions. She knows better…i am not buying any of B.S.’s b.s.

There are more in depth blood tests that can be done to determine if Britney has any drugs in her system and I am sure that will be done on her, if it hasn’t already. She is where she needs to be right now and hopefully will get the help she so obviously needs. I know some of you are saying this is an attempt on her half to gain some attention but she won’t be able to outsmart a psychiatrist. They will know whether or not she’s playing this all up or if something really is wrong with her. I am far from being a fan of Britney although I was at a time, and have rolled my eyes at some of the crap she has done to herself and felt so much sorrow for those 2 beautiful boy’s of hers but it’s time for this train to come to a stop now. Her family has to be with her more now than ever because she is on such a path of self-destruction and it seems the people around her right now such as her assistant and that lutfi character could care less.

she obviously has some mental issues

I feel for her children. This girl has some serious mental health issues and she needs to be treated for them before she loses total control. There is no way any of this is a publicity stunt and the cameras screaming in her face make it worse. My son has bipolar and in social settings it makes it 100% worse for his anxiety when he wasn’t on his meds. In this day and age there are treatments out there for any type of mental health issue and it doesn’t discriminate from anyone or their family. I wish her boys the best and pray she gets the help she needs.

No drugs of any kind? I thought she was on some kind of anti-depression drug or something. I think they are covering for her.

I always said Britey wasnt on DRUGS..She has suffered major depression and no one took note other than to say she was on DRUGS…when somone is trying to party too much they are trying to FEEL ALIVE instead of dead inside..hair fallin out, nails in bad condition, take her kdis away, anxiety attacks from being dragged to depositions..and the media making fun of you…its pure hell..I hope gets on the right medications and get a lot more support from her family and friends who all desserted her in her time of need!!

Poor child\

Rich spoilt brat indeed….some of you forget the descipline it takes for someone her age to have had such extraordinary work ethic to sell all those albums…no Brtiney was never spoiled, just overworked to the point that she bottomed out..

pop psychologist @ 01/04/2008 at 5:53 pm

It’s really interesting that our culture is so uncomfortable with mental illness that everyone is quite reluctant to believe that Britney Spears is mentally ill. Period. It seems that everyone wants to point to external factors — it’s drugs, or the paparazzi, or fame or whatever. But in fact, she is a young woman suffering from very real mental illness. Of course, drug and alcohol use are by-products of mental illness, and they compound and complicate the underlying problem. I’m no psychologist, but it seems that Spears is suffering from some kind of dissociative disorder. From the casual observer’s point of view, it seems that Spears is not “present” in her self–she seems disconnected from her actions and decisions. Who knows what has caused this, but certainly, it would be strange growing up with a mother who allowed her to become a hyper-sexualized object at a young age, and in addition, she has spent her formative years viewing herself from the outside looking in, rather than the reverse. In some ways, it would seem that she only exists as the caricature reflected in the flash of paparazzi cameras and the hyperbole of tabloid stories, and doesn’t exist as a normal, whole human being, present and aware of reality.

Clearly, Brittany needs mental health care, and all our prayers. Anyone who has ever seen mental illness up close knows its no laughing matter. All who exploit that family’s pain should (and probably will) ************.

Also, thank you, Jared, for putting in the lead that NO drugs were found in her system. Maybe now, she’ll get some help, and those little babies get their mommy back. Shame on TMZ, Access Hollywood, and all you other vultures.

Anonymous88888 @ 01/04/2008 at 6:25 pm

Whatever is or isn’t wrong with Britney or any other celebrity, the one thing I can’t stop thinking as I read comments here and elsewhere is, ” Are the people who make the hatefilled comments going to teach their children or other children and adults to be like them, and do they think they look good, or better than the people they attack so viciously by their comments?” I didn’t put my name, because if the question hits home, the attacks are going to fly fast and furious, but I care that I send a consistent message to my children, and others that the difference between human beings and others is the ability to be compassionate.

Anonymous88888 @ 01/04/2008 at 6:29 pm

Last part should read: and others, that the difference between human beings and other creatures is the ability to be compassionate.

2 words….Bipolar Disporder

I might be the exception to the rule here, I believe that Britney would benefit from leaving California. I realize her children are here and that would be a problem. But I believe that any sane person could be driven insane with all the freaking paparazzi harassing you 24/7. I must admit I was driven to tears at all the chaos that took place at her house and was taped by hundreds of paparazzi.

Is it possible to give this woman and her children a break. Enough, already. What is the goal of these people - to cause her to commit suicide or to kill herself and her children. Isn’t anyone thinking that all this drama is causing her children to suffer. These children are going to be marred for life and it will not just be Britney causing the suffering. There should not have been that many people involved. Has anyone thought that it could of scared the life out of the children.

I am just flabbergasted at this drama. I fell really bad for the CHILDREN. They should not be exposed to their mother being dragged off to the hospital and all the paparazzi flashing lights and helicopters flying above.

Such erotic behaivor can only be contributed to mental illness after eliminating the obvious causes that could be (alcohol and drugs). She is really disturbed, and needs to get away, live a normal life, and surround herself with normal, every day people - not the kind of people that make up her unstable family and selfish friends.

I’ll take a guess that she not only has drug problems but is also mentally ill. Maybe bi-polar with an underlying personality disorder - probably borderline or narcissistic? Which means that even if she gets off drugs and is treated successfully for her bipolar illness, she’ll still have the personality disorder. And those don’t go away because the patients won’t believe that there is anything wrong with them. The rest of the world is at fault, not them. I see a poor prognosis for her.

Aleezah, the question is does the woman want a break? She has courted the press for months. The problem is you can’t turn on and off the attention. She is bringing them in bathrooms, having them get gas, doing auctions with them. You just can’t make the press the bad guy in this. Do they cross the lines at time - yes, but Britney has encouraged a lot of their behavior

This poor little girl. I hope she gets the help she needs, and the rest/privacy that she, and every single other human being, deserves. I am simply disgusted with the heartless people who have the nerve to actually LAUGH at this type of breakdown. WHAT is wrong with our country? God bless this girl and her small children. I hope all of you whom are laughing never suffer from a mental illness.

i am sad and i hate to admited it but: she is not mental stable

If this were anybody else they’d be in a padded room by now. There is some SERIOUS mental issues at play here, it goes far beyond the Paris Hilton/Lindsay Lohan party chick syndrome–Britney has mentally broken down a while ago. It’s crazy that it took this for people to really start embracing that truth. How could it be believed that someone, a mother of two, is walking around barefoot in gas stations with cameras outside or unable to hold a conversation without a more serious issue than wanting attention? But this young woman’s life is still being blamed by some on the media and an extent I am beginning to agree: if this behavior is being documented on a day to day basis and no medical/legal professional has ordered her confinement then if she ends of dead or killing someone else what then? Everybody clearly saw all the signs. CLEARLY.

BI-POLAR OR POST PARTUM DEPRESSSION (AS BAD AS THAT WOMAN WHO DROWNED HER 5 KIDS HAD)

Treating Bipolar Mania

If you have bipolar disorder, you may be having a manic episode if you suffer three or more of these symptoms most of the day — nearly every day — for one week or longer:

Increased activity
Need less sleep to feel rested and energetic
Excessively high, overly good euphoric mood
Racing thoughts
Talking very fast or talking more than usual; speech is pressured, loud, and often difficult to interpret
Inflated self-esteem or grandiosity — unrealistic beliefs in one’s ability, intelligence, and powers; may be delusional
Increased re
