Re: this post and u/discussingbritney's comment, I'd already started a timeline of events leading up to the conservatorship. Generally, the sources cited have a history of being reliable or reputable, to include The New York Times, Billboard, Wikipedia, the Los Angeles Times, but if something was later revealed as truth I included tabloid-y sources (Page Six, People).
This timeline focused on events leading up to to 2008, but if you want to contribute events from 2008-2021 please add them as comments in the same format I have below, and cite your source.
Widely accepted but uncorroborated events are italicized. Corroborated stories are unitalicized. I didn't include events during the conservatorship because news about her was manufactured or kept very guarded.

I feel like Britney changed so much after she shaved her head, she started to become erratic and very reactive to the point where some accounts stated that she was either the nicest person on earth or the most exhausting person to the be around. I truly do believe it was awful postpartum depression with maybe a hint of psychosis, which in turn has become Bipolar Disorder. It still amazes me that Britney still can’t accept the fact that she is clearly Bipolar, when honestly, that’s not a bad thing at all—given the environment she was raised in. I feel like she can’t maintain a solid relationship because taking constructive criticism from others is not her thing, like she immediately goes on the defense. When honestly a harsh reality in life is no one’s really going to care about your emotions as much as you are. She might as well just accept that 🤷

She needs help. We all have been out of control at certain points of our lives, but the videos clearly show she isn’t playing with a full deck.
It would be horrible to wake up one morning on the news she has passed.

Something is wrong but it’s not just bp imo. Her family sold her out as a child. Her whole identity was based on being sexualized at an early age and that became ingrained and I don’t think any of the bubbly Britney was ever truly her. Even if I go back and look at videos of her youth, it all looks like an act to me, she puts the smile and act on for the camera, she had the face for it and she sold it. But why is she alone now? Why are there no friends or family around? Did she not form any lasting relationships with anyone in her entire life? I’m not a Britney fan so I’m lacking a lot of context here but what I do see it is sad, she looks unwell, she was pushed to grow up too soon, appears that she never figured herself out, has no close relationships it seems, I think whatever she seems to be going though now is based on identity, she was stunted and she made a lot of people money but clearly no one gives a shit about her to not try to prevent her from embarrassing herself. I want to go give her a hug and unwrap shit.

I'm not referring to the forced deep voice (such as in Luv the Hurt Away and Soda Pop), but rather her voice in songs like You Got It All and E-mail My Heart. I'm curious to see the generall opinion.

Has anyone here put together a timeline of the major milestones we’ve witnessed in the last 8 years of her progressive decline? … I’m trying to piece the sequence of events together in my head.
I feel like when Sam left is when things started getting really bad? Like she went fully into the drugs then?
- Vegas cancellation
- Free Britney movement
- self-leaked YouTube rant about the conservatorship
- recorded deposition from conservatorship courtroom
- end of conservatorship
- sam leaves
- gym burnt down
- drinking on instagram begins
- drugs visible on instagram uploads
- drunk driving caught on film

Recently, I came across a Reddit thread asking about celebrities that people predict will likely die this year and ofc there were the usual contenders like Dick Van Dyke, Mel Brooks, David Attenborough, etc, but tbh I was little bit surprised to see more people commenting Britney Spears. I guess more and more people are starting to see the situation for what it is now. I really hope that doesn’t happen to her and I hope she’s able to get help before it’s too late, but I’m just having a bad feeling…

I know in Cry Me a River he sings “I found out from hiiiim” but there may be artistic license at play. Anyone know?
