Britney's had such a hard life.

We dont know even half of the hell she went through, so people should never judge her for being angry

I agree and ironically the people who are quick to point out what she should do or what she is doing wrong are really quiet in this thread.

The stuff she’s sharing with us is so horrific, I kinda fear hearing what she isn’t sharing, like how much worse does it get. Her family are s a d is tic (I can’t believe even this word was censored) monsters.

Her anger is 110% justified and I’d spit in their faces right along with her but the fact that she came out of this still with her sweet, bubbly goofy personality is just a testament to how strong she is. As hellish as this whole nightmare was, she didn’t let them completely destroy her.

She is so brave, it takes a LOT to open up about this especially on Instagram. I hope she knows how much love we fans have for her

The strength of this woman

[autumngoodbye91]

I'm really impressed with her eloquence and her ability to reflect on herself. **** all those people online saying she sounds crazy or unhinged or whatever; you can tell by her writing that she's really intelligent and resilient, and that she's working through her trauma by unpacking and analysing what was done to her & the effects it has had on her. Which is hard work & not easy to do at all when you've been so severely traumatised for so many years. She's really putting in the work, as she says she has a ways to go but she will get there.

The part about thinking she had cancer and that this was why they were keeping her locked up breaks my heart though. It's impossible to comprehend the depth of these people's cruelty.

How can you move on after something that traumatizing 

You'd go to a therapist or someone but in her case people that should have helped her - doctors, judges, lawyers, therapists, psychologists, family etc, hurt her the most 

This is insane  0 support from people around her. Everyone against her. No one capable of helping her. Imagine how traumatized and scared she is after that 

I just want her to be happy and leave all of that in the past but it's extremely hard

It's true! The worst part is that she will have to live with these memories and experiences until the last days of her life. I hope that someday she will be able to put it behind her, although I realize that it will be damn hard...

[PokemonSpears]

I also like she mentioned the "unasked for help". If you really love someone and you seriously believe they're struggling, you'll do everything to convince them to get help, but at the end of the day you can't force them to get the help or the treatment that YOU want. They have to make that decision, or otherwise it's not gonna work. That if they even wanted to help her of if they really believed she needed it.

Exactly. What we do know is SHOCKING. But what the hell don't we know?

What did "I had to be available to seven different people" mean?

And did we ever find out why she was forced to give blood?

Prolly due to the meds

[Letines79]

I’m genuinely concerned by her constant references to the things she has not shared that are so much worse. She keeps saying this. The depression is inevitable after everything she has been through. Most depressed people just want to be loved all she wanted was to be loved, as she keeps saying. So to her she’s in the depths of depression because she felt so unloved by those who should have loved and cherished her the most. She was their lottery and meal ticket and it’s as simple as that. Utterly heartbreaking 💔 

[Style.]

I’m amazed how powerful she is even though she’s so tiny and feminine and goofy.  I wish! I wish I could be this strong! 

[ElectricPlatypusLove]

She is just a force of nature. Absolutely unbreakable and amazing. 

I relate to her words though my own situation and circumstances are quite different. I am the least violent, highly non-confrontational person but I have dreams where I am picking up my mom like a ragdoll banging her against a wall....it isn't about hurting my mom, it's about the desperation to be heard and treated with respect. It's "I loved and admired you unconditionally I trusted in your vision for me you lead me nowhere and left me out in the cold and were oblivious to my love the whole time"--I think that IS a similar feeling to what Britney feels with her own relations. Either way she touches me and countless others when she is so open about her pain. And let's go off on just how CORRECT she is....depression is no reason to lock a person away from their life forever. Britney is obviously NOT the basic instagram mom they tried to paint her as for SO MANY YEARS, but in faceta creative, artistic, otherworldly soul like most brilliant artists. "Quirky" perhaps but to be treated as a mental patient for half her life....it's absolutely sickening.

And she is right about doctors and nurses. These are just people with their own agendas. A hospital is not a magical land of Oz but just a building full of people like you and me with some schooling.

When she mentions the lithium, my stomach turns. When I first opened up to a doctor that i had been ***ually assaulted, and due to fear had avoided doctors since....it came out quite anxiously. This doctor wanted to put me on Prozac. There was no concern over helping me heal---just making me a more palatable patient and generating income off me.

[TimeLoveJoySpaceKnee]

I was so upset when she said the most disturbing thing about her was her depression... AS IF that's a disturbing thing! She's had absolutely no one in her corner this entire time including people who entire ******* job it is to help her with mental health issues that are more than NORMAL. I'd spit in their faces too. Such a strong woman

[KrisJ]

Did she delete it? I can’t see it anymore

That part threw me. Did they tell her she was there for depression? Jamie Lynn kept harping on her spiraling, and episodes, which is usually used to describe bipolar or schizophrenic people. It’s almost as if they’ve never told her what her actual “diagnosis” is, or that they’ve shamed her so badly that she doesn’t want to acknowledge it. This whole situation is so heartbreaking and i truly hope she is able to trust therapist and doctors again one day. There’s absolutely no shame involved in any mental illness.

[bitbitboi]

She is so articulate even after all they have done to her, and the crippling effects of it all. She's smart, strong, resilient. I love her so much! Like she said, she still have ways to go but she's so capable that I trust she'll come out of this stronger than yesterday <3

[fullyflared]

It's amazing how Jamie Lynn allowed herself to say that Britney was paranoid. Everyone would be paranoid in such a situation, including that idiot Jamie Lynn. I would have had exactly the same thoughts as Britney if I were in that facility.

that's the thing too, people sometimes suggest therapy for her, which in an ideal world, could be beneficial, but after what she's gone through is understandable she's lost all the faith in all those "professionals".

I still wish she can find even in some alternative pseudo-science or whatever, some kind of guidance that helps her find some peace. Because it's not only like, oh they hurt me this particular time, or they did this specific thing to me, it's years and years and years of trauma, psychological and physical, and the whole fact that it was her own family, her own "team", the ones that should be protecting her, helping her, accompanying her, so to suddenly find out that you're alone, that you can't trust those closest to you, that the people you loved the most are the ones that have harmed you the most, that must be terrible. We're like "yeah spit on them!!" but how heartbreaking it must be to come to that realization, to come to a point where those are the feelings you have for your parents and siblings. 

And the most ironic thing and I guess it's what unites us all in here, is that she's brought happiness to so many people around the world, that you'd think only good things would shower her life, because all she did was work hard, and shine and spread love and her art, but instead she got kicked in the butt by her own people. I think, and I pray that from now on life will give her back all the suffering she's endured, but in positive things, multiplied by a million times, because that's what she deserves
