"What Is Britney Doing with Her Life?"

pappinkfollow

Big news: while you were sleeping, Britney Spears was once again being involuntarily hospitalized as a danger to herself and others. Nobody left her alone like castrato harbinger Chris Crocker warned, and finally it all got to be too much.

The situation unfolded thusly: Following some weird interaction they had over the phone, Britney's mother started the evening worried that her daughter might try to kill herself. Britney did not try to kill herself, but if she did nobody could really blame her, which is perhaps why her psychiatrist made a house call later that night. Lacking confidence in her abilities, the psychiatrist called the police and told them Britney's "downhill behavior" and reckless driving made her fear for the pop star's safety and the safety of those around her. An absurdly large fleet of police escorts and ambulances fueled with taxpayers' money were dispatched to haul a calm Britney – codenamed "The Package" – to the UCLA Medical Center's psych wing, where she will remain for an undetermined amount of time.

Crazy, huh?

    crazy, yes. sad, yes. maybe we should stop reporting on her and let TMZ take the reigns. be part of the solution, not part of the problem cord. i must give you some credit though, you don't talk about her as much as the other sites which means you understand that it's messed up to report everything that goes on in her life.

    Sleeping? Who said anything about sleeping? I'm pulling a Britney. Minus all the paps, crazieness, dirtiness, cheesy fake British accent, horrible extensions, stupid toy dogs, 5 too many cars, shady friends, wigs, brown boots, random trips to drug stores, custody hearing, drug abuse….

    Oh, sweet fancy Adnan, mae made me snort out loud.

    Just reading that makes me feel like I'm being sucked into her vortex of crazy. I'd hate to see the offices of TMZ. I'm sure the walls are covered in the staff's fluids. I'm sure they'll updated every 20 minutes with live video from outside the hospital.

    It is really a sad story. I know I would not be able to handle having people watching my everymove. Hell I would go into a seziure everyday with all the flashing from the cameras. This poor girl has to deal with a mental illness and see her face on the cover of tabliods every week. On top of that she can't see her kids. I will pray for Brit and hope that she gets better not only for herself but for her children.

    It's kind of bizarre to see her doing the same shit the hubby did… 3-4 days without sleep, alternating between wanting those around you close then screaming for them to leave you alone. He didn't switch back and forth between accents but there definately different facets of his personality.

    Depakote sweetie… it's a wonder drug.

    Isn't depakote an anticonvulsion medicine
    What good would that help her when she doesnt have that problem

    Ohh and medicine doesn't always do the trick sometimes the doctors have to try all kinds of treatments for mental illnesses.

    No. 13 Lily the Pink says:

    It' imagine it's a difficult decision to make to begin meds for Bi-Polar disorder. Basically once you start taking them it's a lifelong commitment…wait, I sound like I'm defending Britney, and I'm not. It's just sometimes crazy is hard to treat because crazy involves not thinking you're crazy. For anyone who cares, Stephen Fry's Secret Life of a Manic Depressive is a really good documentary on the subject. I found it on youtube, but if you live in the UK they rerun it occasionally, too.

    Lisa(#1): Somewhere in the bible Jesus is alleged to have said "be fishers of men," so holey fishnets are really some of the most appropriate things you could wear to church.

    I don't know about depakote as a convulsion med, rachel, but it's a strong anti=psychotic. It's true that meds alone aren't always the answer. In my husband's case it was intense therapy for 4 years plus the meds. Now he speaks to his counselor/therpaist a couple of times a year. But the meds will be a part of HIS life forever.

    It took them over 10 years after the husband was diagnosed to find the right combination of meds to affectly treat the disease. Every once in a while he'll still have a mini-episode but they're nothing like they used to be.

    ohhh I just though it was used as an anticonvulsion that is what one of my bff's are on. Even with the meds he still had seziures. So it really didnt work completely for him.

    It won't be long now before TMZ and all the papparnazi finally get that big money shot. You know, the shot of Brittney putting a gun in her mouth and blowing her brains out in front of the cameras. You know that's the shot they're all waiting for. Good job paps. You should be proud.

    Sugar Magnolia: My BFF, well, late BFF, took Valproate/Depakote for Bi-Polar disorder. All I can say is make sure your husband never, ever removes himself from it. Mike would get dizzy and nauseated, and he developed a tremor from it, and even though he knew better, one day he had to stop several times on the way to work to throw up and subsequently said "fuck it" and stopped taking it. BIG DOWNER WARNING: Less than two weeks later his wife came home from work to find a note on the door telling her where she could find his body.

    Haha, it sounds like I have a tragic story for every occasion. Just to set the record straight, I probably do, but shit happens. I had what I call the "2 year Reign O' Craptasticness" wherein my step-brother, BFF, oldest friend from childhood, mom, cat, and dad (in order, not that my cat outranks my dad) all died early/pre-mature deaths. I'm not saying this for sympathy. I just realized how ridiculous it might sound, or that it might sound like I'm trying beat that tragedy and raise it rather sad experience, which is not the case.

    No. 21 Sugar Magnolia says:

    Lily… we are well read on the effect of taking and stopping taking his meds. He gets his blood levels checked regularly to make sure the depakote levels remain steady.

    When the disease was at it's worse, I was always afraid that I'd come home from work and find out that he'd sent our daughters to a friend's (or his sister's, mom's, whatever) house to play and I'd find him dead.

    When the daughter was only around 2 1/2, she would tell me people that "Daddy's head is sick." Broke my heart and nearly devestated him. He knows that if he ever stops taking his meds… stops doing what is needed for him to be healthy… that I will file for divorce that day and go for sole custody of the girl. I cannot and will not allow our daughter to be exposed to the illness and the horrible effect it has on her father.

    Sugar Magnolia: Good job. It may sound odd to some people, but I think it's important for people in that condition to feel like they have someone to answer to, and have reasons to behave responsibly. Michael and his wife, while still living together, had "separated" and I think that when the valproate started making things suck he felt that no one cared, so why should he put himself through it. It sounds like you guys are handling it really well.

    Abso-damn-lutely I'm holding him responsible! He (his family & doctors too) have told me more than once that if our daughter and I weren't here to keep him grounded and focused, he'd probably be dead.

    I make sure to tell him regularly how much I understand and appreciate the hard work he puts into staying healthy. As hard as it is for me as his wife, I can only imagine how hard it is for him.
