I don't know.......JW is very split - her task side - she gets it done, or has a very tidy husband. But, she certainly has an emotional rollercoaster side to her. Once she engages emotionally she gets out of control. You only have to watch her dance to see that.
A couple of websleuths have met her at court and confirmed her looniness.
No doubt, ITA with your assessment. The "roller coaster" and over-engagment.. latching onto things with all ya got is IMO quite "normal" for untreated Bipolar. So's the not caring about getting into trouble Woe points out until the phase is gone and then it's like "Utohh WTF did I just do?!"
I'm not saying she's not sick- it's obvious this woman has mental health issues and has zero self-control in all things Caylee (or whatever she's latching onto at the moment) but it doesn't seem to effect her ability to live a semi-normal life. Raising children (though clearly she makes really bad choices when it comes to dragging them into her obsession with Caylee and someone should do something about that!), keeping a home and a marriage in tact. If she were
crazy,
crazy it would effect every aspect of her life- she would have no control as to where the crazy pops up.. she'd be saying this crazy paranoid stuff everywhere she went (she does her Caylee is alive,
blah blah stuff everywhere she goes but she doesn't pull her crazy
president bush, people are following me, psychotic type behaviors) not just once she's confronted by LE.
Psychosis (which is the part she seems to be wanting to play when LE is present) is not something you can decide what part of your life it effects. You can't shut it off when you feel like it.. it touches every part of you, every day, every moment. If this woman really felt she were being followed she would say that every chance she got- she'd probably stay away from TV camera's afraid the people out to get her will find her... she would be afraid.. because to a psychotic person it is
real (think tinfoil hats etc.) Instead she takes field trips into the woods making videos for the internet, sticking her face in front of TV cameras every chance she gets, writing online blogs, contacting news sources wanting to be interviewed. She is out of control but no more-so than an addict with drug seeking behaviors (not saying she's an addict but the behaviors are the same IMO). It effects only those aspects of her life. She is addicted to the rush of drama and the attention and does whatever it takes to get it. Then uses her "crazy" to excuse her behaviors.
It seems from the interviews that the first thing she says to LE is "Do you know I have been baker acted?" (it's funny because one of the biggest issues with psychosis is that you lack insight into your state of mind. A psychotic person would believe their thoughts were real not that they are crazy.. but she seems to grasp her crazy quite well- warning LE right up front she is crazy, that she has crazy thoughts.) Then once she is called on things (pictures, videos, contact with the Anthony's) she starts playing the paranoid crazy lady who thinks she knows president bush and has people chasing her and it works because she has a documented history of mental illness. So nobody pays any mind to her lying and obsessive drama creating behaviors- it's written off as crazy talk. She needs help big time and clearly has some type of a mental illness but mental illness does not = crazy. She's far from
crazy.. She has an agenda IMO.
