AT THAT TIME NOONE EVER TALKED ABOUT POST PARTUM DESPRESSION SO I HAD NO IDEA WHAT WAS DESTROYING MY LIFE. I HAD 2 SONS IN MY 20’S BUT THEY WERE 5 YEARS APART SO THE SYPTOMS WERE NOT AS BaD. I HAD A WONDERFUL LIFE AND WAS SO HAPPY BEFORE MY 2 LAST 2 SONS WERE BORN 23 MONTHS APART. AFTER MY LAST SON I THOUGHT I WANTED TO DIE, BUT I COULD NOT EXPLAIN TO ANYONE WHY I WANTED TO, BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE A CLUE EITHER. I TALKED WITH 2 DIFFERENT DOCTORS BUT THEY THOUGHT IT HAD TO COME FROM MY CHILDHOOD AND WHEN I TRIED TO TELL THEM THAT WAS NOT IT, THEY WANTED ME TO TAKE PILLS. AND NOT THE MEDICATION THEY HAVE TODAY. I HAD LOST A FRIEND TO SUCIDE ON THOSE PILLS SOMETHING TOLD ME TO PASS. I WENT ON TO DO SOME REALLY CRAZY THINGS AND NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY, AND IT REALLY MESSED MY LIFE UP FOR A LONG TIME. AS I LOOKED BACKED SOME OF THE THINGS I DID COULD HAVE ENDED MY LIFE. ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO WHEN I STARTED READING ABOUT POST PARTUM DEPRESSION I KNEW THEN WHAT I HAD. I NEVER WANTED TO HURT MY CHILDREN. I GAVE THEM ALL THE LOVE IN THE WORLD, MY THOUGHTS WERE ALL ABOUT KILLING MYSELF. I TRULY TRULY THINK THIS IS WHAT IS HAPPENING TO BRITNEY. I KNOW THE MEDICATION IS BETTER TODAY AND I AM NOT SAYING GO THAT ROUTE. FIND A REALLY GOOD DR. THAT YOU CAN TALK TO WHEN YOU FIND YOURSELF DOING CRAZY THINGS, ETC. ETC. I DON’T WANT TO WATCH YOU DO HORRIBLE THINGS TO YOUR LIFE. IT TOOK ME YEARS TO GET MY LIFE BACK ON TRACK AND I NEVER TRULY GOT IT TOTALLY BACK. SO BRITNEY DON’T THROW YOUR LIFE AWAY. IF YOU TOOK TIME OFF AND GOT COMPLETLY AWAY FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS, YOUR FANS WILL BE THERE. IF YOU KEEP ON THE TRIP YOU ARE NOW YOU WILL LOOSE THEM. I THINK YOUR MOM IS ON YOUR SIDE BUT GOING THRU WHAT YOU ARE NOW, I FEEL YOU NEED A GOOD DR. TO TALK TOO. SOMEONE YOU KNOW HAS NOTHING TO GAIN FROM HELPING YOU. TRY IT, YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOOSE AND EVERYTHING TO GAIN.

Brittany would never have gotten anywhere if it weren’t for her mom and family making sacrifices for the sake of Brittany’s dream. Let’s just hope her younger sister remains “normal” and doesn’t follow her sister’s path.

Perhaps if the press wasn’t going after these stories, they would have led more quiet lives. I think the celebrities fed in to the attention and kept fueling the interest in their lives too so they feed each other. Their lives are becoming disasters that play out for everyone to see. Perhaps more focus should be spent on the soldiers fighting for the country and their sacrifices rather than the problems that these famous “kids” are having.

She needs time to recover…

On 28 Jun 2007, bb wrote: What Bob says may be true; but Britney seems to forget that she didn’t become a star without all by herself. Who fed, clothe, made sacrifices for dance classes, voice lessons and traveling across the country in search of the inevitable “dream” how quickly we forget. Britney needs to remember had it not been for her parents; she could be working at a Mcdonalds in Kentwood. BB

On 28 Jun 2007, bob wrote: Who knows what is really going on. Everyone thinks Britney is crazy, but let’s face it, this wouldn’t be the first time that child stars have had issues with their parents. Parents of child stars often get wrapped up in the fame and fortune just as much as their children. It may be that Britney’s parents are too controlling, demanding and have had played a major role in the chaos that is now her life.
