re: Why are so many women defending Lindsay Clancy?

It's evil. Pure evil.

Late to the thread but I saw two points raised that help put the insanity into perspective..

If she had instead strangled 3 puppies to death, almost no women would be defending her right now.

Imagine a world where Chris Benoit had not killed himself and then after his murder spree begged for understanding and claimed he was technically innocent. How many men would defend him?

Women really are completely fricked up.

is complete bullshite to me. It might be a thing, but to kill your kids is a wild side effect.

There’s a distinct difference in post-partum depression (that a lot of women have experienced after birth) and post-partum psychosis (hallucinations, attempts to harm ones self/others, delusions).

You can absolutely be sympathetic that someone experienced an awful mental health issue and still want them to be held accountable for their actions. Her defense isn’t arguing that she didn’t do it. She did.

Hopefully, this at the very least brings to light the issue and increases access to treatment.

One of her problems was that she had too much access. She was going from doctor to NP to NP using different networks so they didn’t talk so she could get more and more drugs. She had a history of getting meds as far back as nursing school. Then it was for “public speaking” which is a joke. It’s the biggest fear in the country but you don’t require medication to do it. And not for fricking nursing school.

She was even turned away by a few places because they felt she was just looking for more drugs and was already taking too many.

---

Because one person was abusing the network doesn't mean you should cut off access to everyone. Or that a clinician shouldn't seek out training to increase their competency working with women with post-partum. I've been grateful to see a lot of organizations making their trainings more affordable and accessible in the wake of the trial.

Also, your public speaking jab is hilarious. Doctors (not just psychiatrists) have been prescribing beta blockers like Propranolol for the fear of public speaking for quite some time. That's not unusual.

If you're running an inpatient facility with access to medical detox, you should be capable of admitting a patient to help with medical detox if they're taking "too many meds". That's the issue at hand here with the facility that didn't admit her.

quote:

---

Did I say that? My point was that she had plenty of access. Access wasn’t a problem for her. Being a lying sociopath was.

---

She was denied admission to an inpatient facility that specifically dealt with post-partum issues because of the meds she was on. That's an access problem, not just for her.

Chances are if you're seeking treatment at that point at an in-patient facility for post-partum specifically, you're going to be on some meds.

quote:

---

Giving it to a nursing school student isn’t the same as giving it to doctors who want it for actual public speaking engagements. Your comparison is bullshite.

---

It's really not. You just have poor knowledge of how often it is prescribed by legitimate prescribers.

quote:

---

She didn’t want to be admitted for medical detox and they can’t force her to be.

---

Again, the facility denied her admission because she was on "too many meds". Any in-patient psychiatric facility should have coordination with a hospital (at least here in Kentucky, you can't even run an Intensive Outpatient Program without hospital affiliation) that would have allowed her to be admitted despite being on the "wrong" cocktail of meds (hence medical detox).

You're not even understanding what I'm saying because you're being so emotional about this. Touch some grass, buddy.

Here comes Belle with her it's everyone's fault but the premeditated killer.


Hide if you ever run into her while she has the crazy eyes going

Please feel free to find and quote where I said that she isn't responsible or didn't do it.

Again, some of y'all are shite at reading comprehension and context apparently.

You’ve spent this entire thread defending her state of mind as a real thing for her. Your empathy makes you so easily manipulated.

Postpartum is very real. My wife had it with our second and it was a slog to pull her out of it.

My good buddy never pulled his wife out of it. She went insane. They’re divorcing now. It’s been 8+ years of it, poor kid still wears pull-ups to bed bc she is insane and created all these weird rituals and routines to cope. Educated, very smart, gone completely retarded

Sometimes you really like that biting dog. Doesn’t change the fact that the dog needs to be put down.
