This Marina Joyce thing

Thoughts and comments?

She is clearly menally ill and has a low iq. I don't now about th drugs/idnapping stuff.

I find the behaviour fascinating. I reckon it's probably a mental illness too but she's claiming it's not that.

She is more "together" in her older videos, where she is clearly a LOT younger. But she always seemed to be pretty ditzy. I don't think she's being "held hostage." I think she's mentally gone, most likely from drugs.

Do you think so? In most of her videos she has come across as manic to me (not 'happy' or 'upbeat' or whatever). You can see her mind racing and what comes out of her mouth is like things are on fast-forward. She also repeats herself at times as if she knows what she wants to say but doesn't really comprehend what she has already said. I have also noticed a few key words used by her that suggest to me that she is at the very least of average intelligence. I don't believe any of the 'fan theories' about domestic abuse etc. To me it looks like Bipolar with psychotic episodes (the stares off camera and what not as if she has seen something). Just a theory, no evidence other than what I have seen obviously.

Either way, it's very interesting.

I had no idea who she was until 2 days ago.

I don't think she has a low IQ at all- I watched some of her old videos and while the subject matter wasn't something I was that interested in, she talked rationally and comfortably and quite intelligently.

Fast forward a year and in her videos she started talking about nonsense, she became more vacant and having all sorts of strange and unconnected ideas. She seemed sped up and manic. It looked to me like something was seriously wrong, probably either she was high on drugs and battling addiction, or she has acute bipolar or psychosis that is not controlled at the moment.

Either way it's incredibly sad and I hope she gets some help.

It was totally put out of proportion.
