She needs help. Its sad that everyone who tires to help her she kicks out of her life.

Yes i believe her
Maybe i should not but then who am i to pass judgment against her after all shes human and God know we are not perfect
Britney did not have time to deal with the birth of her first child mentally she got pregnant with her second son to soon thats a lot of stress she could have waited but she wanted to hold on to Kevin now his making her life a living hell from the looks of things so the stress of her marriage, then those kids ,post partum depression who dose not see it ...she just really needs to get her self together for the sake of her self and her kids because she may love them more than life but her actions says something totally different each time we see another picture Brit just get some positive people in your life and forget all the crap

Well, drug tests are hard to beat. People have done wilder things due to postpartum depression. The lady in Texas who drowned her kids comes to mind though there were obviously other mental illnesses involved. Lesser known cases exist.

Is alcohol considered a drug there?

I'm not convinced her problems had anything to do with drugs. They probably had more to do with PPD, divorce and being very immature.

i believe britney, i just wish she would lay low for a little and go to a therapist or something

I am thinking she dabbled in drugs and it was a good excuse for her family to get her help for emotional issues that she had to be having with her life.

She was a mess then and is STILL a mess. She doesn't need those kids.

britney spears has become america's celebrity car crash #1 - you don't want to look, but you just can't help yourself...whether it was drugs or PPD, divorce...she needed and still needs help. get out of hollywood!

chick is nuttier then a snickers bar foreal

I agree amabran...she needs to get therapy and just stop trying to make a lip synching comeback and make her mental health and her children her main priority. It's really sad and scary that she doesn't realize that.

I think her supposed "drinking problem" was a side effect of a deeper mental illness. I just hope she gets help.

Oh, like throwing up outside of clubs and collapsing at a New Years' Eve party had absolutely NOTHING to do with alcohol or drugs? Gimme a break. Dehydration, exhaustion...all the same. Easy translation: Alcohol, Cocaine, Weed, Pescription Pills, and too much clubbing.

Promises has therapists 24/7 and that's what she needed. Her family knew she needed a place to go with therapists out of the spotlight and away from everyone and the public. They did the right thing, whether or not she was addicted to drugs, She was obviousoly self-medicating her depression with alcohol and staying out to all hours, leaving her children. she was/is an emotional mess. I believe she had/has PPD and her family was right to do what they did, and Kevin is right not to sign off on sharing custody if she is still having issues. The last people you want to see suffer are her two babies.

No way. Its quite sad actually. Shes a complete train wreck and doesnt even know it. I hope that one day she realises she needs help - and gets it fast!

I believe she had PPD, compounded by at the least alcohol use, and possible drug use.I find it suspect that she's pointing to a tox report taken 15 days after she was admitted, claiming she was drug free etc. I heard Promises does not ask for a drug test upon entering the place,hence any thing she was taking would have left her system by that time. Any Judge worth there salt will dismiss this in a court. I think she's bi polar, given her mood swings etc.

She's denying because she wants to continue drinking and drugging - remember the drug test was after 15 days??? Britney will not be disputed, she's determined to have her way, and anyone who gets in her way will be barred from her life. She's screwed when Allie gets smart and dumps her.
She's dirty, unkempt, and irresponsible.
This is more than youthful rebellion.
This is mental illness exacerbated by drug abuse. In other words, a trainwreck.

I don't think her problems have anything to do with drugs. . . but while I hate to judge- I feel somethings wrong. Why do we so rarely see her with her kids?

Britney's totally f*cked up at this point. Right now, she shouldn't be pointing fingers and coming up with more problems, she should start getting some help, instead of pushing itaway.

rarely see her with her kids (other than the recent vacation), shaved her hair, turned against her family, shows her privates on a regular basis, started clubbing again, the list goes on.

I will have to say that I agree at some point PPD played a role in all her actions. Sean P & Jayden J were born in close procimity in time to one another.

I don't know if I can believe anything else. Her behavior now is just ridiculous...

I remember watching one of those court shows one day & the judge said there's 3 sides to the story: the defendant's side, the plantiff's side & the truth...
what a dilemma

Thou doth protest too much, I say. She is incredibly troubled. I wish she'd put all the energy she's expending denying she's got a problem into getting herself together. And the fact that she has expelled her mother from her life speaks volumes, because your mother is the one who gives it to you straight, and Lynne was giving it to her straight. Britney doesn't want to hear it, so she just gets rid of her.

I agree with Jmast...And I also loved your avatar, girl! Where did you get that picture of Clive Owen (I love the look on his face)?

It could've been postpartum depression. People have done crazier things because of it. She was out drinking and partying all the time though. Maybe she wasn't doing drugs but she was definitely a mess. She has the potential to be so cute. Why Why Why does she dress so strange? She has the $$$ to buy the cutest clothes out there and she buys so not the cutest clothes out there.

OUCH! HER ARMS ARE SO BIG AND UGLY

SHES FAT AND DISGUSTING... WHATA APIG!!!

are you guys kidding? with all the media attention she gets (IN her car, IN her dressing room at a store, etc.) ANY of you would go nuts. also, julianna, way to be a b**ch.

I think Britney has a psychological problem and like justauser suggested, the media attention she receives is exacerbating the situation. Also, many drugs take weeks to fully exit your system... alcohol, however, clears up quicker. Tricky situation, really.

britney lies a lot, even when she was young (remember the virgin thingy? jt totally banged her ) I never believed her, why should I start now?

no matter why she went off the deep end she did and she needs to take some responsibility and quit blaming others. if it was postpartum depression then get on some legalized, doctor prescribed meds and if it is media scrutiny then give up show biz for good and move somewhere. sure the paps will still be on you but if you are steadfast in not trying to get your picture taken eventually the madness will shut down and they will move on to fresh meat. it will never be 100% again but it will be better than the circus that is your life now.

I'm not a Britney lover but I wish eveyone would stop giving her such a hard time. It seems a large majority of celebrities who get extremely famous at a young age have problems and are heavily affected by the constant scrutiny (do I need to mention Michael Jackson?). It's really no wonder they go off the deep end from time to time. She has made her mistakes but who is to say any of us would do any better in the same situation. I couldn't imagine how bad it would feel to read all the horrible things (fat, bad clothes, crazy, druggie, bad mom to name a few) about myself everytime I picked up a magazine. And juliana, I'd rather have fat arms (though I don't) than a mean personality. You must be a flawless beauty with a perfect figure to judge people like that.

I know people who saw her fall down drunk in public multiple times. She obviously still has issues, and as an adult, it is up to her to get help for herself. IMO, I think her problems stem from the fact that she has been spoiled, and wants to be completely selfish and the center of attention all the time. She just isn't mature enough to handle kids.

And to those people who use the media attention as an excuse for her...remember, she encourages the paps. She wears a hat promoting x17, tells them she loves them, gives them exclusive interviews...and they happen to be the only paps there when she give her mother the note! Coincidence? I know for a fact that there are many things most stars use to avoid the paprazzi that she choses not use. She goes after them. FACT!

And sorry, but a person doesn't flash their private parts 13 times in 1 year on accident! She will stoop to any level to get attention.

eveday..thanks! i googled him under images...there are so many great pics of him i will have to do a rotation..ha ha ha. love him

not that her weight should be a factor in this discussion, but i think this pic is old, prior to her shaving her hair, etc.

i honestly do think that depression can cause people to act out of character and erratic...similar to a person with a drug problem. and when your britney spears that stress and pressure has got to be a million times worse. im not saying shes this inncoent victim or anything but i do think that depression was the main factor in this rather than drug use

I didn't think Britney had a drug or alcohol problem. But I do think she needs help like a therapist or someone to help guide her other than a family member. I wish she knew it's ok to get help or talk to someone about her problems and behavior.

All I know is that she still needs a lot of help. I think she is very defiant and thinks and has thought for awhile that she can do everything on her own and that she knows it all. That is why she is where she is today. Because she can't do it and it (life itself) is over whelming for her. She is very immature. I do blame her mom for causing Brit to be this way though. To many show moms are trying to be friends and their lives through their child instead of parenting.

Jillness you have a great point!
I don't believe Britney. And, those blood tests that she demanded to have, came back clean because the tests were run something like 2 weeks after she entered Promises.

wait is this a pic of her b4 rehab or now?
she looks aful here
her hair looks like ass
and she looks fat
watever
ugh i miss britney

Old picture, before she shaved her head.

If Britney's lips are moving it's probably a lie, because she's always trying to rewrite things into what she wishes it were like. Remember her Matt Lauer interview last summer... everything was great in her marriage, Kevin was a wonderful hubby, and so on...

Sadly, Kevin's holding out on the custody agreement until she cleans up is probably the strongest parental support those kids have.

Tsk. I can't imagine her life. It's way too dramatic and 'crazy.' It's not my life and I'm actually thankful for that. Who am I to pass judgment on her? She doesn't seem to be coping very well. The most I feel sorry for are her 2 sons. I hope Britney pull it together.

p.s. I'm not a Britney Spears' fan.

julianna
wow ur mean

I don't care. I'm just trying to understand how she was able to "self-diagnose" herself with Postpartum Depression. Her behavior was beyond erratic, as it still is now. If she really felt that way, the Promises facility has a well-trained psychiatric team on the grounds. Besides, nothing come out in regards to a doctor diagnosing her with anything. She's a daggone idiot...and she BLOWS. I'm actually to the point where I want to boycott her posts, but I'm really trying to obtain the GOLD!!!

so maybe she did suffer from postpartum depression, but she can't blame her actions on that. I mean, is she still depressed, cause she's acting the same way she was before...it doesn't make any sense. it's got to be hard having the media in your face constantly, but if she hates it so much why is she always going out in public, try to stay home a little! and if you must go out, get dressed! stop showing your underwear to the world, you're asking for it Britney! yes I feel bad for her, but she's not helping her situation at all!

Pete's sake...I don't know what to think anymore. All I know is that she's wacko, no matter how you put it! I would love to see her clean up, wash her hair, put some makeup on and make a killer new CD, but I don't think it will ever happen. :/

In my opinion, it is often those who are most in need of help that are in denial. However, if she did not believe that she ever had a problem, then she will be unable to be rehabilitated. The first step in any program is to isolate the problem and if she did not believe there were any problems, I do not understand how she could have entered rehab. I believe that it would be embarrassing to confront public scrutiny in blogs, on television and so on, but her behavior was abnormal and I believe that she should probably surrounded herself with people who are supportive and loving.

I truly believe that Britney really, really, really regrets getting married and HAVING KIDS soo soon. I am not saying that she is a horrible mother or that she hates her kids. what i think is that NOW she realizes that at 26 old she wants to party, to go to clubs, to date, to really enjoy life, NOT taking care of kids. I think that if she could turn back in time she would do things different.

I love watching the train wreck that is all things Britney, but I don't see the drug use angle. Just a messed up woman with too much going on and no way to slow down.
Can't wait for the next crazy thing that girl does.

She is a HOT MESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whether or not she had a drug problem (and I personally don't think she ever did, you KNOW some paps would have caught that sh*t on camera), rehab won't work if the person doesn't think she has/had a problem. So even if she did - forcing her into rehab was not the answer and it surprises me that the people who are supposed to support & love her did that. It's counterintuitive to me. And if her problem was PPD and not believing anyone around her had her best interests at heart; putting her in a program she vehemently disagreed with would only reinforce that belief. I can she why she'd be pissed and cutting those people out of her life. If no one else will stick up for you, you have to stick up for yourself.

Honestly - I think everyone (exept maybe Paris Hilton who loves attention) would go crazy if they had a billion people judging them everytime they made a move. Seriously people, she is just a person who's trying to make a living - just like everybody else.
I really feel sorry for her, and it makes me sick to see how people just freak out everytime she makes a bad move.. she's a person and she makes mistakes like everybody else.

So I really don't think she was on drugs or anything.. I don't think she had a postpartum depression either..
I just think she went crazy because of all the bad things that suddenly happened in her life..
but hey, no-1 really knows do they...?

NO WAY! She wanted to be in the spotlight, with what broadcasting her divorse/separation from KFed (remember going on the tonight show with that bob?), and then going partying practically everynight wearing barely any clothes? What did she expect?? I'm sure part (or most) of it was because of depression & desperation.
