Amen Molly. Bluedog, it’s not exactly difficult to find information on Disney’s dark and evil side.

I heard it was bit vit who really wanted to do the x factor and her “handlers” didn’t think she was up to it and tried to convince her not to take the gig. I think when you have been at the top of your game for years – and britney was THE SHIT man, it is hard for a person to accept their career is over.

I do believe it was bit bit who wanted the x factor job. She was desp to get back into it again. Life being handled and at home twidling thumbs must suck. Missed the lime light maybe? Wanted to be relevant again? Yeah all that. Don’t think its fair to pit britney the cash cow vs the evil handlers.

I agree that Britney should be out of the public eye, but there may be nothing else she wants to do and this could contribute to her depression. She might get into worse trouble with nothing to do, as before her dad took over. She is not going to become a soccer mom, wish she could but it’s not going to happen. I think it would be nice if she could be a dance teacher – I think she did this once and enjoyed working with kids. But I don’t know if she can stick to a regular schedule and be trusted around children consistently.

I do think she gave in to tabloid pressure to dump Federline because he was presented as a “loser”. I remember photos of her in convenience stores reading those tabloids. I don’t see that it was a harmful relationship, but ending it seemed to leave her unmoored.

It’s well and good to keep Sam Lutfi from controlling her; however, her father and fiancé seem to have taken over that role, which I don’t think is better.

Marrying her guardian is wildly inappropriate.

Do you even know anything about bipolar disorder? People with bipolar disorder shouldn’t be out in the public eye?

So Diane Sawyer and Catherine Zeta-Jones who are also bipolar have no business being public figures either according to you?

I have bipolar disorder and I work full time while going to school 20 hours a week. I have a normal life and your comment insinuates that people with mental illness belong “away from society”. It is thinking like that which is archaic and dangerous.

I question all of this. I dunno. 1.) if she is that severely mentally ill how would a judge and or her family still want her performing and being the cash cow? Are they that addicted to money? Surely she doesn’t want to perform anymore, she doesn’t do her dance routines nothing anymore. 2.) kevin has custody of the kids so surely something went on there.

Overall, I remember the days of britney driving to starbucks and shopping, can she even drive anymore? Does she even love her fiance? Those pics above tell an interesting tale.

Personally, I love my parents to death but I would never ever allow them to manage me etc if I ever become famous. This should be a lesson to us all.

There were abrasive marks on her body and her sister-in-law commented on Houston’s aversion at getting into hotel bathtubs. I’m not saying it WAS foul play but these circumstances remain mysterious.

They arent going to lose their cash cow no way. I do think that sam lufti would try to contact britney though so I understand why their keeping an eye on her. They dont want another sex tape like she did with adnan again. I do think that they are treating her like a prisoner and child. I would go crazy if I had no phone of my own and no internet. I think she knows better now and wouldnt even talk to sam if she had the chance.

If everyone is healthy, then yes, that level of control is abusive.

However, there are some degrees of mental illness that require that level of control if the patient isn’t going to live in a residential unit and wants to have some kind of ‘normal’ life but with reduced dosage of drugs.

I find it very skeevy that she is allowed to have a relationship with a person who has control over her legal life and meds. For someone with Britney’s wealth, it can never be a clear cut relationship without conflicts of interest.

As her conservership is still very much in place, and she’s robotic due to thE drugs, you can be sure that she is still incapable. The drugs are probably enough for her to function without any other stresses like day-to-day decisions which makes it all very sad. She still has supervised visits with her kids. All the information that comes out about her reinforces idea that she’s living in a residential situation albight in her own home.

And because her life has been so simplified, she can do what she always has done eg sing/dance after a fashion, but no more. If you notice, she doesn’t really do press anymore. Even for her tours, videos. When she does make an appearance eg MTV awards last year, she doesn’t do interviews. Rushed through red carpet without questions etc. And xfactor allowed her to do multiple breaks. With additional editing, you are seeing the best parts of that, and yet reports still leaked of her unconventional behaviour.

The only thing good about all this, is that her father stepped in. I really want someone to step in for Lindsay too.

I’m bipolar I rapid cycling and mixed episode, that is actually the worst.
I’m OCD, Clinical Depression sub type Melanchol.

I didn’t find out I was bipolar/OCD till I was 30ish when I had some euphoric manic episodes, before I was just diagnosed as Clinical Depression.

Looking back I had childhood onset bipolar and ocd from a small child.

I had my first euphoric manic episode (which is very different than typical mania or mixed episode mania) after I had my second kid and had bad postpartum depression,

I was put on prozac and was awesome for about 8 months then I went back to college for the spring semester (spring is a bad time of year for going manic for a lot of bipolar people, odd I know) then I got too awesome then it got jagged then I came very close to having to go in, it took me 5 months to come down to normal and I was on heavy mood stabilizers and clonpin too.

anti depressants and ambian among other things trigger major manic episodes UNLESS you are on a mood stabilizer

medicating for ocd/bipolar (and they almost always go together)is tricky as hell. you need to find the right balance between zombie and normal.

Stress and having to be “ON” like performing or thinking at a higher level like in University are triggers for mania.

So no, her still being in the spotlight is without a doubt bad for her, so they would have to be more heavily medicating her.

She is functioning it looks like right now, so if she was out of the spotlight she would most likely be off the conservatorship.
because if she wasn’t functioning at all she wouldn’t look as healthy as she does even with all their supervision. She would not be able to do it at all most likely

she is a cash cow to them obviously and any reputable shrink would be telling them this is not healthy for her.

my talking about all this is both from personal experience and a masters in clinical psychology.

I’m doing pretty good right now, I’m 43 and am on a pretty good cocktail. I take 9 pills a day. Some people take as many as 20 a day and still aren’t controlled, some people can’t tolerate the drugs, lots of nasty side effects.

For some the drugs just don’t work (the mood stabilizers) those people are usually the pot smokers, because it does help for them. And will be prescribed by the shrink, usually as more of a last resort. (One of my sisters)all 4 of us are bipolar, it is very hereditary.

My Dad and his 2 brothers and 3 sisters have it bad, and they got it from my grandma who got it from her Mom.

I’m very lucky in that I respond pretty well and my side effects are livable.

I know this is a epically long post but maybe people will understand a bit better, lots of misinformation out there, and I just touched on the tip of the iceberg.
