Poor Britney indeed.
Did you know? that Britney was forced to go to rehab by her Mother. She kept telling her to get help, or she will lose the children.
Just as well, she did that.
Just imagine what else Britney would have been up to if her Mother wasn't there to try to get her back on the right road.

uzma,
The news of Britney suffering from depression only came out a few days ago. No one knew she had that, and I certainly didn't. I have to admit, I was angry because Britney wasn't handling things well, and wasn't even trying to recover.
Yes, I know, no one is perfect.
But, at the same time, we learn from our own mistakes, and the mistakes of others. From that point, we move on.
She just kept sinking and sinking.
It's really frustrating, because she really gave in. She wasn't be herself. She wasn't being the person she's supposed to be, a wife and a mother.
It's not an easy job, but you have got to try hard and show your commitment. Family always come first.
Look at what happened. Her Mother was ther at the time she needed someone to turn to. Britney should have forget about her stupid husband, and only have thought of her children. She should focus on being a good mother. That's really important. Everything can go away, but family never.
But, when I turn a page in a newpaper or magazine I see her acting as a teenager. She's let go of all her responsibilities, and commitments.
What type of mother does that?
Even the types of clothes that she wears, unexceptable and awful. I mean there was a see through dress that revealed everything. Disgusting.

That is my reason for being mad at her.

Let's just hope that when she comes out, she will come out better. Aftrall, you do learn from your own mistakes.
She just needs to clear her mind, and think of what the most important things are in her life, and keep it in her head that she has to be there for them, and represent them proudly.
Family is always first.

I usually wouldn't bother commenting but I really couldn't just let the comments that were posted by lou lou slide. I find them naive and upsetting.

As a mother of two little boys, a 3 year old and a 7 month old, I understand the pressures that having a baby can place on a woman. And I also understand the need for a mother's problems to generally take a back seat as they place the emphasis on caring for the children.

But I also understand how it feels to suffer from depression and mania, since I have suffered from biplar disorder for the last 14 years. Lou lou, post partum depression and bipolar disorder are mental disorders where a person does not have the insight or the understanding of what is happening to them, and generally can not be held accountable for their often strange and tragic behaviours. At times when I have suffered from depression or mania I have done things which are completely out of character and that I would usually look down upon myself. The moods and feelings that you have are impulsive and beyond your control. I am sure that if Britney was able to control her behaviour, and change the way she feels she would. It is a horrible, terrifying feeling to be depressed or manic (once you begin to lose grip).

How can you be mad at someone because of the symptoms of their disease? That is ridiculous.

Instead of using your energy to bring the girl down (which you really don't need to do because she is already down far enough) maybe you should read some information about post-partum depression or bipolar disorder and then you can make and informed and educated comment.

This is not a mistake that she needs to learn from, post-partum depression and bipolar disorder are diseases that she needs to be treated for. I am sure once she has received the treatment she needs she will be able to put her family first.

Courtney,
My comment was posted to uzma who was angry about people being mad at Britney for having depression.
I went on to say why I was annoyed at Britney, BEFORE the breaking news of Post-Partum Depression that she has been suffering.
I clearly stated:
"No one knew she had that, and I certainly didn't."
Then I moved on to explain why I was angry at Britney.

I can see a mistake in my comment where I said:
"That is my reason for being mad at her."
- I was meaning to say "That WAS my reason...."

And the point where I said:
"you do learn from your own mistakes."
Refers to her past, more than her present. She used to date Colin Farrel who happened to have a hard and tough time that he ended up going to rehab. Surely by look at him, she would have seen the serious and bigger picture of not having a stable life because he was close to her. She bared witness of the impact of the drinking, and late nights would have on him.
And when I referred to learning from “your own mistake”, I too referred back to her previous lovers, the fights and clashes. She should know how to handle them better after several experiences.
I also repeated it at the end, because she thought that she was all alone and had no one to turn to. If she didn’t think like that, things would not have gone as far as this. Which was why I placed the importance of family in the following paragraph.
And I don’t refer to the head shaving, I rewind the tape back to the time when she would walk out, drink, and party. She was fine then, and that was more than 4 months ago. She was fully aware of what she was doing.

You mentioned that you’ve been through it, which I respect especially the fact that you have posted a comment speaking openly about it.
I, on the other hand, have not. Just because I have not, does not mean that I cannot post my comment and express what I think.
There is always a one rule that never changes when you write about something; understand what’s going on. And I do.
In Secondary School, this was one of the most discussed issues in Social Education. It would all start from the topic of mild depression, and eventually we get really into the discussion where we saw the larger and more difficult forms of depression.
And because I took up Psychology as a subject, I also studied what mental disorders are, and the different levels and types there are. Along with case studies which would explain the effect certain types of depression would have on an individual.
So, I do know what partum depression and bipolar disorder are.
I even know the very base and core of it all, mental disorder.
I have a fair amount of knowledge.

You said:
"... mental disorders where a person does not have the insight or the understanding of what is happening to them."
But BEFORE this happens, they certainly do have an insight, and the understanding of what is happening to them. Britney is no exception.
She should have looked more at what she has left, and not what she has lost.
I personally think life is purely about getting by. It's full of the ups and downs. And to get by, you need to look at all possibilities and be prepared to face it, and handle it well. The only way to handle things well is by making sure that it's the right move and action, by making sure no one gets affected (in a bad way) by the things that you do.

This my opinion. I know that it's easier said than done. But, that's what I think.

My energy isn’t going towards putting a girl down. There is no intention, and I do have better things to do. I have an opinion and I want to express it. It’s purely what I think and what I believe. And if anyone out there is not happy with it and doesn’t agree, then so be it. I’m not going to change my way of thinking simply to satisfy others, and you are no exception. It’s who I am. I won’t change me.

I make it clear once again, for reinforcement, my comment looks at Britney BEFORE the breaking news of her suffering of Post-Partum Depression.

I just want to add one more part;

We both have knowledge about this disorder but in different ways.
I have read of it, about it, looked at some of the factors that may effect on, the levels there are, the abnormal signs, the relevant cae studies.
But you also know that.
But in a different way; You have experienced it, been there and knows exactly what it is like.

I once again give my respect to you for that, but I am nothing short of knowledge.

And if there is something I would like to say about Britney AFTER the breaking news, it would be:
"She just needs to clear her mind, and think of what the most important things are in her life, and keep it in her head that she has to be there for them, and represent them proudly.
Family is always first."
- The same as before.

Yes, a mental disorder is actegorized as a disease, and is not something that is easily recognized or even easily treated. But with time and effort, she should come out better and stronger than what the world has seen of her.
But, what I said earlier and repeated above, is what I would like to see in her when she comes out.
Life is worth living, only if there's a meaning. And for her it's her children.

Once again, this is my opinion. Whether you agree or dis-agree, I won't change it. It's what I think. The only thing that can be done is to accept it.

lou lou i agree with u and i respect ur opinion

uzma,

Thank you.
I too understand, accept and respect your opinion.

You know, when I look back at how much I had written, I was suprised with myself (and even more suprised it wasn't deleted by waleg- hehe).
I just wanted to make things clear. And I think after all that typing, it must have. Well, that's what I hope :)

All that can be said now is:
Hope you get better, Britney.

Thank you :)

i love and support her...she needs to be left alone the media r so cruel

angie,
That's the tough side of being famous - the media. They have to keep up with all the news, so they simply can't mind their own buisness or they'll be short of money.
At times they can come out with the good stories, like Kylie's breakthrough of cancer. But, other times, the opposite like we are all seeing.
Haram.
She's in a terrible state and needs to recover. The media is not making that any easier for her.
They should leave her alone.
But, they are so selfish and only think of the amount of success and cash that would come in their way when they release such a huge story and create such a large buzz. I guess that's where the satifaction comes from.
I don't think they feel her pain or even understand her.
They just take advantage out of her vulnerable state, and make the most of it.
Haram. Such a cruel buisness.
She really NEEDS to be left alone. I think the media have done enough damage in terms of worldwide explosure.
For the reinforcement, she NEEDS to be left alone.

But, like I said, they're selfish.
