I read somewhere, I think it was on People, some psychiatrist expert saying Britney is showing clear sings of having an extended postpartum depression. She gave birth in September so it is possible. I don't know how long these things last but I guess it depends on the woman. And considering that Britney had a tough year while pregnant, her constant run-ins with the paps, the divorce and such, it is possible that she is simply depressed. Anyway, the man said he thinks she isn't getting the attention she needs. So it is possible that she doesn't belong in rehab. The truth is that partying doesn't mean you are an alcoholic or hooked on drugs. Besides, compared to Lindsay Lohan for example or Paris Hilton, Britney hasn't been partying that hard. At least publicly. But who knows. Like I said in previous posts this could easily be a bad publicity stunt. I'm going to try to find the link to post it. I don't recall exactly where I saw it.
Well said. I agree. I was thinking she's having a meltdown, not sure why, but then again, think of the pressures on her. She's in the middle of what looks like a rough divorce. That's hard on anyone, much less a young woman who's not used to failure. And she has to do it in front of millions of viewers. She's the mother of two young children. Possibly one was an oops and was unplanned, but she had it anyway. More stress. She's made her living on her stage shows and music. She hasn't put out anything new in years, her fan base is aging - and so is she - she can't afford to be off the charts for very long or she won't be able to get back on - she has trouble getting the weight off so that she can go back to performing, she has the demands of two children and lawyers, her ex and probably her mother nagging at her constantly, so knuckling down and being disciplined and staying on a diet/exercise program when she's pretty much now on her own is probably too much for her. Her life probably seems like one big job. She wants to have
some enjoyment in life, so she leaves off the exercise and work and eats Big Macs and when her jeans start getting too tight, she decides to go out partying. I'm surprised people criticized her partying.
How often is she out? Once a week? Twice? That's much less than most of my college buddies used to do or young co-workers do now. She has two young children? They went to sleep at 7 pm and she didn't leave them alone in the house, so it matters little right now in their lives that she isn't home a couple of nights out of the week.
The panty-less thing was stupid. For a great many years I never wore underwear if I couldn't help it. It isn't the fact of not wearing underwear, its the problem of getting caught not wearing underwear. Many people who don't wear underwear also don't have a bevy of paparazzi snapping pictures with their every step. Many people don't wear underwear, you just don't know it.
It seems more and more like she is suffering some sort of post-partum depression and the media coverage and criticism of her every move makes things worse. It's difficult being the butt of everyone's jokes.
