Britney Spears is Just Stressed Out!

 

 

After reading the blog entry of a blogger, who suffers from bipolar affective disorder (formerly called manic-depressive illness), I am reluctantly beginning to have doubts about Britney Spears’ recent bipolar disorder diagnosis. Apparently, Britney has shopped around for a pricey press coverage… Namely, her desiring to “suffer” from Bipolar affective disorder, a brain disorder which is deemed more acceptable than her being labeled as either severely depressed or schizophrenic (both of which mental illnesses are deemed the scourge of all mental illnesses). Yes, some people think it is “cool” for famous people to be bipolar. Because of obvious reasons, I do not share that view.   

Anyone that believes that Spears is bipolar is only fooling him or herself. Having been her fan for many years, I can attest to the fact she is an amazing singer with true talent. Since her early years as a singer, I had hoped she would one day use her celebrity status to do something great for humankind. However, an increasing number of her many fans are saddened by her recent PR stunt and have begun deeming her as a has-been celebrity and a dangerously unfit mother. I can longer bear to see Britney whoring herself and exploiting the sympathy of her many loyal fans, including me.

Yes, many celebrities need PR. It is the lifeblood of a celebrity’s career. I confess that I cannot get enough of the latest Hollywood gossip, from which the media has richly profited. However, Britney’s latest PR stunt is the straw that broke the camel’s back, which has upset many people around the world. Since her infamous appearance on the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards, many of her fans are abandoning her in droves, a fact she painfully knows very well.

Regarding Britney’s supposed bipolar affective disorder, many people with the illness are duly outraged that a celebrity is making a mockery of the very illness that has devastated their lives. It is sadly appalling that whiny, spoiled celebrities will say or do virtually anything to get press coverage. Some celebrities almost always use their wealth to buy press coverage in order to keep their names in the public minds. In fact, the press and many of Britney’s die-hard fans (excluding me) have been deceived by her latest PR stunt and have already begun aggressively defending her. Depite my being a fan, I say with great remorse: ”Let them all drink poisoned
Flavor/Kool-Aid.”

FYI, bipolar affective disorder is is not a joke. Many people stricken with this brain disorder, for which most bipolar people must take medication for the rest of their lives, experience severe changes in their energy levels, mood, and ability to function. Sadly, some bipolar disorder people cannot afford or are not accessible to medical treatment, that can help them live full and productive lives. I concur with the aforementioned blogger. Britney has laid a rotten PR egg… and the stench is unbearable.

I realize that many people in Hollywood are suckling well from the her breasts. She has almost single-handedly created more jobs than the state of Rhode Island. Because many people in the entertainment industry depend on her, it is imperative that Britney keep generating the cash flow to keep them employed. Celebrities like her are the very reason limo drives, entertainment attorneys, hotel concierges, chefs, bodyguards, private investigators, news reporters, paparazzi, and many others are gainfully employed.

Strangely, I greatly respect the aging, white-trash pop queen from McComb, Mississippi but I have legitimate concerns about her future. The untimely demise of many a dysfunctional pop icons such as Marilyn Monroe and Anna Nicole Smith usually ends in tragedy. Because she is stressed out, I pray and hope Britney get a lot of rest. She is just to talented to rely on lame PR stunts to keep her name in the press.

But, I digress… Mental illness is a serious issue. It is sad that Spears has exploited her diagnosis as being bipolar affective for personal gain. She is a lost soul that has been caught in the snare of being a celebrity. Now, she is paying the cost.

Yes, I love Britney Spears very much; however, I do not pity her. I do not believe she is not bipolar. I believe she is simply a very stressed out women, who needs a lot of rest and relaxation. Moreover, she needs the prayers and encouragement from many caring and loving people, including me, who love her unconditionally.
