Source: Britney Labeled "Gravely Disabled"

britneybustup.JPG
I was listening to the radio yesterday afternoon and one of the local deejays said, that what has happened to Britney Spears, might be "the biggest unraveling of a star I've ever witnessed in my lifetime." Isn't that just so sad, when you really think about it?

I get so caught up in reporting Britney's daily antics that I sometimes forget who she once was. She was hugely famous -- and for positive things! Her singing and dancing and performing -- an amazing entertainer -- which makes the fact that TMZ.com is reporting that Brit has been labeled "gravely disabled" by doctors so unbelievable.

Having the label "G.D." means "the patient is unable to take care of basic needs, such as the acquisition of food, clothing or shelter" and is "one of the criteria for involuntary commitment."

Health professionals over at UCLA say Britney was in a manic state when she was admitted late Wednesday night, making it extremely difficult to get her settled. She was yelling at her mom, "The only reason she's admitting me is because she wants to be alone with her boyfriend! She wants to sleep with my boyfriend!!"

Again, she never said who she was talking about, but that doesn't sound like very rational thinking. Who could Lynne want to sleep with? Adnan? Sam? Felipe the paparazzo? But the insider says, when Britney did calm down, she talked about her boys and how much she missed them.

Today I'm feeling sad for her.

She is a person too. I don't know her personally, but living that lifestyle can not be good for anybody's emotional health. Whether they asked for it or not.

I been upset with all the Britney coverage. I've been upset with Britney herself, because initially I thought she was just being an indulged spoiled brat celebrity, but now I just feel for her and her babies and her mom and pop, because she is a woman lost, who needs helps and is too messed up to accept the help. I hope this is it! I hope his time she will accept treatment and that the treatment actually helps her so she can be okay again. She has my prayers. Oh! Perhaps the tabloids and paparazzi, and news channels can just lay off of her now. Have some damned humanity for the love of Christ. Let this poor woman heal in peace. Adnan and Lufti GO AWAY, let her family be her family you guys just disappear and crawl back under the rocks you came from. Hang in there Brit...

This is just the saddest situation. As I've told my children, when any of us 'think' of her, or hear a story about her, instead of rushing to judge, or to add on a hurtful comment, or to try to add more insult to injury....STOP, and instead, say a prayer for her. Just say a prayer. There but for the grace of God go we...

Mental illness has nothing to do with lifestyle.
Take my word for it...Psychiatric nursing being one of the types of nursing I have done. There is no need to either feel sorry for her, or to be enraged by her behaviour. Illness is illness...mental illness is the same as a cold...can rarely be avoided, if ever.

Well don't know why my posting won't take but don't have time to sit here and keep writing so it better go this time. Again I am better then Oprah as she hasn't figured this out yet and my god Miss can't believe her own fame Oprah should have been able to figure this out or at least her producers she just does the talking not the thinking. anyway this woman partied hardy and I believe she took a drug maybe one as potent as PCP and went psychotic and was never able to come out of it. I mean this is not mental illness!! I mean she looks awful and she acts like someone under the influence of drugs and she always will as she is DRUG FRIED. Look at what happened New Years Eve that one year.....boom down she went. she is a spectacle and she did this to herself. I mean she looks older then her mother. I can't feel sorry for someone who does this to herself. she had the world by the tail and now she is going to have to turn everything over to her useless ex who will now continue to continue living off of her. The kids should not be with him either and the money should all go to charity or to pay for her institutionalization as this girl isn't coming out....EVER!

You know, I really don't understand why everyone is so crammed up her butt. I think everyone needs to back off, everyone, yes even her family, Britney needs to realize who Britney is, and how is she to do that when everyone is constantly telling everyone who and how she is. I think that this is probably a good move for Britney. Even I had a moment in my life where all I needed was to be alone to realize who I was and what/who I needed in my life. Her manager has no right to yell at the mother, if Britney yells at her so be it... it's her family she has a right to get mad or upset look at what everyone is putting her through... what would you do guys? People say things they don't mean when they are mad, we are all human and so is she.

Eye Of The Beholder said:

Yes "SAD" but not within the overall delimma of many so called "Normal" persons. She was first and formost a person before she ever became a "STAR" so therefore she a person just as any other!

Tex said:

Poor girl...she is obviously mentally ill. I am relieved to see that some one is taking control and has her in the hospital. Hopefully, she will get the care she needs to rebuild her life and repair her relationship with those poor little boys.

Shadowlady44, IVE HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE NEW POSTING. I tried preview with some success but the best way is hit submit, when it goes half way and stops, hit submit again then leave it alone and it will go back to original post, then your in. AYALED, why don't you stick searchingmillionaire.com up your ass, I wouldn't go to any of the sites you whores advertize.

Cindy said:

Hopefully Tom Cruise will see this and actually believe there are mental illnesses that can be managed with medication. If she gets on meds she can get back to normal. Does anyone think that vitamins and exercise will cure her? I am glas she is in the hospital now where someone will help her instead of hanging on her every tragedy.

Where's Tom? said:

Speaking of Tom Cruise... why hasn't he fixed Britney? He's always bragging about how Scientologists cure drug addicts, people w/ mental illness, etc. He's said he can't drive by someone broken down on the side of the road because he is obligated to help anyone in need... so why hasn't he helped Brit? She's obviously screaming for help. This could be Tom's & Scientology's ultimate test. Put up or shut up Tom!

I agree w/ the person who said in the beginning she was putting up a show, or so we THOUGHT. Of course celebs like attention, and they will do anything in there power to be heard/seen at least a few times a year. But with Britney it was different, even with the pap. around she wasn't posing for the cameras or smiling, she was just sad looking and kind of looked lost most of the time. I honestly believe she is sick and by having the two boys it didn't help, especially so quickly together. You know, post pard. depression? It just kind of melted all together and it ended up like this. I hope she gets better and takes her time in doing it, those who still care about her want her to be the old Brit again, dancing on stage, smiling, and singing her heart out....

I just would like SOMEONE in the medical field to diagnose her with SOMETHING before I decide to feel sorry or bash her.

I am a psychiatric counselor, Britney although I am no doctor definely has bi-polar which is what the doctors are saying, for those of you who dont know, when a person is in a manic state they will do things that they dont normal do, bi-polar is a serious mood disorder, where by a person can become psychotic, it has nothing to do with drugs, people with this disorder, will first self medicate with drugs to try and rid themselves of there thoughts and craziness that is going on inside there heads, there are medications that work really well with this disorder one of them being geodon for psychotic behavior and the other is depakote for the moods, Usually it is a stressful event that can trigger the onset, for Britney it was her divorce and losing her children which is a horror, always remenber one thing, by the grace of god go I, and no one can ever be 100% free from any type of mental disorder, and what can trigger these episodes is any life stressful event. I pray that Britney will openly take treatment and take her medication because that is the only thing that will work, pluse healing herself and loving herself again.... A mental health counselor

Amy said:

I myself am bipolar and I highly suspect Britney is too. What she needs is some help. I am always upset by hearing people be so judgmental of those of us who are bipolar. We are not freaks to be poked at. We are for the most part well functioning productive citizens. Britney just needs to get the correct treatment and she too will be right back to the old Brit. Bipolar is a mental illness outside of our control and for others to make fun of those who are in its throws is just wrong and you should be ashamed of yourselves for it (and that goes for the media as well). I wish her all the very best and I just know things will work out for her.

I heard that her dad has taken over as conservator - which is good - Lynne doesn't always seem to have her daughter's best interest at heart. I've heard that they want her to come back to Louisana and get better.

I'm just sorry it took this long for everybody to realize that this poor, young girl needs help. Is it post partum depression? Is it bipolar? Who cares what it is - just help this girl. You are right - she was great at her best - and could be again.

Who knows - maybe in a couple of years, she will come back out on top and even have a book and speaking engagements about how to handle a person who needs help. The top three things to do when your kid starts acting 'not right'.

1. DON'T IGNORE THE SIGNS - GET HER HELP EVEN IF SHE DOESN'T WANT IT - WHAT MENTALLY ILL PERSON IN THE MIDDLE OF A MANIC EPISODE WILL SAY 'I THINK I NEED HELP'.

2. Put restraining orders on the people who you know are not helping her, but hurting her more. If you are for her, then you are against her.

3. Love her - she is still your kid. Tell her you will always be there for her - even if she isn't some famous star. You will be there just because she is your child and you love her.

omg who really cares anymore? let her live her life in peace i have my own stuff to worry about rather than worrieing about her bull. shes a grown woman who put herself into this hole she calls "life" she should of never cheated on justin bc life would have been better for her. she just NEEDS to stay away for awhile. really, just stay in her house for a month out of the poperozzis face shes got money she can hier ppl to do her grocery shopping and all that personal stuff only leave the house for dr. vissits. for real. that would keep her away from the public eye and the media would finally leave her alone. they would get bored and move on. and ppl who follow her every move need to get lives of there own!!

The child needs Jesus! Really!!! Would someone in her camp direct her please!
