How Britney Spears taught me to survive:
Shut Up, Brain is a column by Jill Gutowitz in which she looks at everything from pop culture phenomena to the quirks of interpersonal relationships through the lens of someone who lives with anxiety.
We all remember 2007: Britney's"meltdown" wasn't just splayed across every gossip rag or news show, it was a moment, a cultural phenomenon; a time when the public-at-large turned on Britney Spears for being, well, mentally unstable. It was a cruel and targeted attack against a formerly universally adored singer.
It wasn't just Spears who was publicly reviled and mocked. The aughts were a time when many public-facing women were torn down by those same people who had built them up. And so, we laughed in Lindsay Lohan's face when she struggled with alcoholism, and with her relationships, and with her health. We made cruel jokes about Amy Winehouse's addiction and suffering until the moment she died. We made lists of Amanda Bynes'"craziest" moments.
I feel hopeful because I know what it feels like to endure the lowest lows, the ones you don't anticipate coming out of, but the ones you survive anyway. Everyone's rock bottom looks different. And for people like me, people with severe generalized anxiety and panic attacks, rock bottom isn't a single destination or that place you hit once in your life; it's a location we return to often—more often than we'd like.
