Am i not the only person in America who can see exactly what has really gone on with Brittney and Kevin Federline? He is a SCAM ARTIST. He has planned this whole thing out! She was his target from the beginning and she fell for it hook line and sinker! He came in, made her fall in love with him, discredited her, got her doing drugs, got her pregnant twice in a short period of time, and then BAM took her kids away from her. OF COURSE she is suicidal and freaking out....... how would you feel if you had been set up by the biggest scam artist that had ever entered Hollywood and he came in, ruined your life and your career, and then took your two kids away from you?! He is a white trash thug, with a terrible past and now he's famous and living the life of luxury........... figure it out people!!!!!!!! The media makes me sick about this. It's like no one has taken into consideration exactly what has really gone on here. Everyone needs to put two and two together and see exactly what i've seen all along.

What Brittney needs is HELP, and soon before something terrible happens. Take away "everything" around Brittney, and what do you have ? I saw her crying while the cameras were chasing her, and I just wanted to take her in my arms and let her cry. I guess being a mother of 4, 'old' enough to be Brittneys mom....my motherly instincts took over, and all I saw was this poor young lady.....she looked liked a frieghtened child, and I cried for her. I've 'been there, done that' and I really hope Brittney can over-come her problems....Mothers know best, and "Life is so much better when you're sober, don't waste your life ." From a "Concerned Mom" in NY

Leave Britney alone! As a mother we should understand how devastating it would be to lose our children, have our marriage breakdown and be publicly ridiculed with every thing we do. I wouldn't be happy if I was followed everywhere I went and all my actions were under critism all the time. I think we can only blame the paparazzi for the deterioration of Britney's mental health. They can only blame themselves when she has a nervous break down or commits suicide because that is where they are pushing her. How can we ridicule someone who has had two children and their body never went back to it's original form. That's human anatomy...deal with it! I think Britney looks fabulous for having two children. I encourage everyone to support her 100% and purchase her CD. K-Fed could never touch her as a preformer. Britney's undergone a lot of public scrutiny. I think if everyone left her alone, her behaviour would significantly improve. Everyone expects the worst from her, so that is what she is going to give us. How can we jdge before we walk a mile in someone's shoes. I hope you recover from this ordeal Britney!

WOW!! How quickly we are to judge! Some of you get it, must don't. Have you walked in her shoes! What in her life is o.k. right now, nothing!! I would find it even more shocking, and even sadder if she was not depressed! If she wasn't depressed, if she had no heart or feelings, then she would back up your spoiled brat theory. No one needs to, or is trying to make up excuses for her, she is clearly ill. Depression and alcoholism are very serious and life threatening diseases!!! No one asks for them or enjoys them. NO ONE!! You then think what about all the partying? To numb her pain!! This young woman is clearly in an unmanageable amount of emotional pain!!!! As a fourth year psychology student it seems all quite clear, depression, postpartum and more importantly, and more likely BIPOLAR. (If you care about her, google bipolar depression and you will see what I mean) She moves into deep lows and suicidal thoughts, to the "high" phase which displays behavior unlike anything else. No sleep without drugs, incessant overindulging desires, almost always involving alcohol and drugs, recklessness, car accidents, yes, seeking attention, YES YES YES, in this phase they will do ANYTHING TO GET ATTENTION, even threaten their own life. They feel invincible and are fearless! In this phase impulses are uncontrollable! It ends, and they come crashing down really hard. She is in need of medication and treatment. There is nothing she has not yet done that is not a sign of bipolar. Everyone wants to point the finger instead of doing the right thing, and that is to ask WHY? She marries impulsively, seeks attention, tries to numb her pain with drugs and alcohol, and has children back to back?? You will find that most bipolars want children, but not for the right reasons. It is because they are desperate for someone to love them no matter what they are like, or what they do!! Pets and children constitute unconditional love. She does not have to wonder if they love her because she is famous and rich!! LIKE KEVIN DID! HE NEVER LOVED HER JUST USED HER AND THAT HURTS! She wanted to be loved so bad, she was blinded to his money digging ways!! Has anyone ever used you, for sex, money, clout, to get you to give or do something for them and then dropped you when they got what they wanted? It's humiliating and heartbreaking, and then imagine everyone in the world knows what a foolish mistake you made. You're hurting because you lost your love, and still they talk and laugh at you behind your back!! Honestly who really loves Brittney for Brittney?? Her parents? NO Kevin? NO Her managers? NO Her friends? GOD NO! I think Jamie Lynn tries but she doesn't have the emotional maturity to handle herself, no less someone else! Britt is looking for love and for answers in the wrong place, outside herself, she needs to look within and learn to first love herself! People who love themselves do not abuse their bodies!!!! When she learns to love and respect herself, she will bring healthier partners and friends into her life ... unfortunately this type of healing takes a long time, it is clearly deeply rooted. Growing up, She was completely in her Mother's clutches; every move she made had to be o.k. with Mom... When Mom left the picture, yes, she was somewhat like a child, she had no experience making decisions,, she was incapable of creating boundaries for herself because in the crucial teen years, when we learn to pull away and begin to become more self reliant, they never even existed for her. Who is responsible for that?? MOMMY DEAREST! She was right making the claim that her Mom ruined her life. Used her talent for money, allot of money, and now she is writing a tell all book. Talk about exploiting and using your child for money and attention! She makes me ill!! Would anyone buy her book if she wasn't Brits Mom?? NO!! She truly does not love her, how is Britt going to feel when this book comes out!! Talk about child abuse!! If her Mom loved her and respected, and nurtured her as a daughter instead of a money maker, Britt would not be running from one person or thing to the next for love and attention. to fill this painful void she has in her life!! Hope she will get help; hope it is not too late. She is hitting rock bottom, and no doubt suicide will be next. The hardest thing about bipolar is that they are truly incapable of recognizing the fact that they are ill!! Intervention is a must! Everyone else should leave her in peace so she can begin her healing process, with professional help of course. For you out there who don't "get it" I hope nothing like this ever happens to you or to someone you love, it will cause you a great deal of pain, along with the shame of having judged someone you DO NOT KNOW OR UNDERSTAND and have not lived or experienced it yourself!!

Learning to love your self, is the greatest love of all!!

I respect your right to post up information on whatever you deem relavent, but, I'm still reeling that in a time when there are so many major issues in the world to consider why we still manage to give so much attention to Britney?

Whoa

to writermind: Then why are you yourself reading the posts about Britney Spears?

I feel bad for her and her family. Especially after Dr. Phil broke their confidence in him by speaking to the media the way he did. That was unnecessary and uncalled for in my opinion and he possibly broke Hippa law by doing that. Though he isn't a licensed practicing psychologist anymore. Only a T.V. personality. It seems no one is on this poor woman's side to support her through this ordeal. She has lost her children and that is devestating to any woman. Then you pour the megastar media rap on top of it - that would drive anybody crazy.

Ms. Spears shouldn't of been release from the Hospital so soon. Brittney needs help of some kind. Her parents are as much as the blame as she is along with her manager & so called boyfriend. Brittney Spears needed stronger order in her life. Like someone her age should be better dispended & if she was dispend when she was younger & not allowed to run her parents she wouldn't be in the moods she's in. It'll be a long while before she'll be able to have any custody of her kids. That's another thing she got married & had kids before she was mentally ready never mind phyicially ready. Her sister will be going to need help if she don't get it now because she's too young to be pregnant. Brittney should just go up into the Mountains or into the Desert & get the mental help she despertally needs before some one finds her face down on a bed or a floor. Does anybody disagree or agree with me?

I think it's fairly obvious she is suffering from some sort of serious mood disorder, whether it's postpartum depression or bipolar disorder, it's definitely not something she is trying to do. I really hope this brings to light the difficulties in working with mental illness and mood disorders in adults. The family and supporting circle of friends struggle to help but the adult patient really has all of their rights to refuse treatment or request to be discharged. Unfortunately, the best thing that could happen, if she doesn't comply with her medication, is that she would be arrested and have to be incarcerated. That would give her more time to get professional help. The girl is beautiful and talented and I think the only appropriate reaction would be to hope for the best.

Obviously, you have never suffered from bi-polar, nor post partum depression. I, however, have bi-polar disease, and have suffered from post-partum depression, and you have no idea what you are talking about. I think you need to educate yourself on bi-polar disease. Did you miss that show a while back on Oprah? I think you need to. it will enlighten you on the subjuect. it's easy for people who think they are perfect to sit back and judge others, but what does that really say about you?

BRAVO! I couldn't have said it better myself. Live and let live....

Wow, there are a lot of harshness posted here. I actually came on this site to see if there was a way to communicate to the OPRAH people my thoughts on saving Britney. First of all, let me say, I am not a Britney fan. I am beyond typcial age group that enjoys her music. I don't have all her CDs, don't follow her career etc. HOWEVER< I am a fan of human beings and people rights and it seems so obvious to me that what is happening here is a product of 1. our society 2. media. The paparazzi who follow her every move should be outlawed. They have created her. Their mere presence creates the scenes that they photograph and then sell (ie: her breakdowns, accidents, etc). These things happen because they are relentless and then when they cause something, they photograph it. Cause = effect, right? Then we have the underlying cause of society being controlled by the media into thinking they have the right to know or be entertained by any public figures antics, downfall, poor choices, etc. Britney was a popular girl, the media darling, and then she started making some severe mistakes in judgement. The media could not wait to pounce. Obviously, she has other issues that are exacerbated by this but the root cause is the same. And this poor girl, who does she call 'friend'? Us regular people, we make mistakes or use poor judgement and we can turn to someone usually. Or what we do isn't plastered all over the internet or news. So, where do we, the average citizens start to cultivate change? Well, I was hoping to ignite a thought or trend here at Oprah since she is probably one of the MOST influencial people in America. Not just a SAVE BRITNEY campaign but to affect real change in the thinking of our society.

Whew, a lot of deep thoughts I am just glad to get out of my head! Seriously, what is wrong with us? How can people observe a Britney disaster and not do a thing about it? Sad and kind of shocking.
