I seem to recall she DID teach children a dance class when she was a teenager as her dad owned a gym.

MyopicBunny · 23/02/2024 13:49

Yes but she's talking about the last few days 🤷🏻‍♀️ she asks which video is people's favourite. But there isn't one.

Apparently she has made her Instagram private now. Something to do with JT I think.

Why do you think it’s to do with JT?

I assume the PP is reporting what's been said in the media rather than her personal take on the situation

I can only see a black screen on her Instagram now and I've followed her for a while so seems to have gone not just changed to private

Because that's what the news said

Do you have a link?

I googled it. Can't remember what site now

Ok thanks :)

hollyblueivy · 08/03/2024 19:29

She's back

Letsseewhattomorrowbrings · 08/03/2024 19:43

The post about Steve is very odd 🤷🏻‍♀️

TheTwirlyPoos · 15/03/2024 06:26

More fully nude pics that I think she's deleted since

SalmonEile · 15/03/2024 09:38

There’s nudes still there including a quick video

the post about her phone going missing is interesting

The crazy dance routines may be when she's manic due to her mental illness or taken "uppers" (cocaine/speed). She may then self-medicate with opiates or benzos (downers). I remember back in the day she was supposedly taking certain drugs to help keep her weight down too.

I read elsewhere that another possible diagnosis is Borderline Personality Disorder (confusingly also called BDP, same as Bi-Polar Disorder) There is some stigma sometimes attached to personality disorders which would be one reason why she's never confirmed her diagnosis even though she shares lots of other personal stuff (eg the abortion) in her book. For the avoidance of doubt, I'm clear she has absolutely no obligation to share her private medical information.

Symptoms of personality disorder (from NHS website)

  • emotional instability – the psychological term for this is affective dysregulation
  • disturbed patterns of thinking or perception – cognitive distortions or perceptual distortions
  • impulsive behaviour
  • intense but unstable relationships with others
Many people with BPD also have another mental health condition or behavioural problem, such as:

I really wish people would stop diagnosing others with personality disorders whenever that person displays behaviours they dislike/don't understand/find objectionable etc

I take particular issue with the diagnosis (armchair or otherwise) of BPD. I am going to more or less repeat what I did on another thread. More and more evidence is supporting the fact that BPD stems from childhood trauma and in the context of that trauma the behaviours listed as 'evidence' of personality disorder make total sense. In her seminal work Trauma and Recovery, psychiatrist Judith Herman writes about the inherent misogyny in psychiatric diagnoses and that they rarely acknowledge the trauma behind them, particularly the trauma of women. It was she who first proposed the term CPTSD the symptoms of which (surprise surprise) overlap considerably with BPD as well as other disorders.

It is also worth repeating that when you look into the history of psychiatric diagnoses they can be shocking in their lack of scientific rigour and were originally meant as way of ordering symptoms and behaviours that psychiatrists aka men did not understand. Now people think these are things are concrete, immutable, conditions rather than the culture-bound rough framework they are.

Which makes people diagnosing other people they've never met and have only a snapshot of even more absurd (and that would count if you were a psychiatrist doing so from your armchair too).

It doesn’t make sense, like most of her posts. She’s trying to accuse her ex husband of stealing from her now….
She knows her deranged fans will go for him now.

Lampslights · 16/03/2024 07:02

I’m not really sure how much she really understands any more to be fair. The words are very child like. I think it’s quite distasteful her insta is now basically showing how unwell she is to the public. I get they covered it up before to protect her, and also it possibly makes her happy , but it’s clear the whole free Britney thing was an enormous mistake and she’s sadly a very unwell woman who doesn’t have much capacity.

DrunkenElephant · 27/03/2024 20:44

She’s posted a note on Instagram tonight detailing her trip (along with nude pictures) and it’s just really strange rambling, like a child has written it and jumping from one topic to another.

She is really not a well woman.

ThePoshUns · 27/03/2024 21:23

Has her account now been removed? Hopefully so.

DrunkenElephant · 27/03/2024 21:29

No it’s still there.

CaramelMac · 27/03/2024 21:31

She’s obviously unwell but is there anyone in her life that could or would help her? I really feel for her, it’s so obvious it’s not going to end well.

Yes she’s under full time care, she effectively lives with her care team, just the change in her conservatoire means she doesn’t have a family member protecting her any more,so now it’s becoming visible to the public as she has the ability to say she wishes to do this.

its very sad, tonight’s post which is a child like description of her vacation is just a disjointed ramble,which speaks to her ability and comprehension levels now, 🥲

Protecting or incarcerating? Even severely mentally ill people have the right not to be imprisoned in their own home. Her family thought she was well enough to tour.

Are you one of the free Britney brigade, do you not look at her posts and feel regret? You actually think she’s any freer now? Seriously?
