But the difference is that the calm and collected version of you prefers this situation. Plainly the people helping you are decent good people who are advocating for your well being, so you trust them when you are ok to care for you when you are not ok. In a sense you are a participant in your care.
The Britney situation looks different, imagine the people caring for you were detrimental and when the fog would subside and you would try to advocate for yourself and no-one would listen. The fact her father isn't allowed near her young sons is really deeply disturbing.
I think we might be talking about sort of the same thing here in our respective posts. I think in her case someone not connected to her personally (like her father, boyfriend, etc) should be her conservator-or at least in charge of her investments and doling out her money to her. Everyone around her is taking advantage of the conservatorship to control her day-to-day life, not just her money. If you treat someone like they're crazy and fragile, they will usually become crazy and fragile. Where my aunt or my sister might say to me, "do you really think you need that?" or "is that wise?" when I'm asking to spend money and then giving me time to think it over, in Britney's case it looks like they're just telling her what to do as if she were a child, and giving her no choices.
