Britney Spears Attempted Suicide Twice in 10 Days

According to this article (and this one as well) she has attempted to commit suicide twice in the past ten days. She apparently tried to ‘hang herself with a bedsheet’ after scrawling ‘”666″ across her head’ and ‘screaming “I am the anti-christ” to frightened staff.’

Lawhawk correctly points out that she needs the support and help from her family and professionals.

The first article I link to quotes a source as saying:

“Britney had two children in very quick succession and saw her marriage fall apart. It looks like she was suffering from some sort of depression and it wasn’t helped by the cocktail of alcohol, drugs and prescription pills she was taking.”

   This comment is an act of commiseration with Britney.
   No one else seems to care.

   I don’t follow celebrity news much, and when they act up, I don’t cry.
   But there is a long list of movie stars, starlets and Hollywood personalities who have fragile psyches to begin with and break under the pressure of temptations and scrutiny.

   The poster lady is, of course, Marilyn Monroe.
   Those of you too young to actually remember her may still have heard of her. She was beautiful and very unhappy.
   She died in her 30;s in a house shared only by a housekeeper.

   Britney is still young, and we can hope she’ll pull herself together.

   I’ve never reacted personally to a celebrity; they have nothing to do with me. But it strikes me that the adoring public forgets them very quickly when they are in trouble.

   I just wish that those of them with serious problems would think twice before having babies. It’s hard to hire a mother substitute, no matter how much money is available.

   I agree completely.

   ACtually, I read something about that once, that those who want to be famous have a couple of things in common and an example is that they aren’t very stable mentally, to say the least.
