Catelynn is a mess

Catelynn has turned into a real mess, and I know she has anxiety issues, but she needs a better rehab program than the one she was in. It seemed like more of a spa than anything. Tyler was able to talk to her and visit and she wasn't there long enough for it to make much of an impact. She seemed to go back to the smoking, and it seems like she wants more meds from a psychiatrist ( even though she missed her appointment). She will be in real trouble if she ends up getting an rx for Valium, Xanax, Ambien or something else that is addictive and will only increase her sleepiness and will ultimately make her condition worse. Hopefully she can get into a group therapy program and some program that will help her. I think her "suicidal" thoughts that she voiced to her therapist were maybe a cry for help, but maybe not serious, either. It is hard to tell with her, because she is such a drama queen. She also does not seem to engage with Nova much at all. She and Tyler wanted this baby so much, but Tyler seems to do most of the care, and Butch and April seem to actually show Nova the most attention. Even Tyler's mom kind of ignores her when she comes over. She focuses on Tyler, and Nova just wanders around. Catelynn needs to get off of that couch and off of her phone, get some exercise, and stop smoking weed. She and Tyler need to get jobs, and/or go to school, and make a life for themselves. They (along with the rest of the cast) need to stop depending on MTV to support them, because surely these shows will not go on forever.

You don't think they will want to do Teen Mom:Second Generation?

I don't agree that she needs another rehab camp stay. Instead, she needs to quit smoking pot, exercise twice a day. Walk those dogs or buy a treadmill. Eat healthy food advised by a professional nutritionist. Get a haircut and her nails done and maybe some new clothes. Then, seriously invest in an life coach consultant and psychotherapist (not like Kathleen) to address the real reason behind her anxiety. She is ruining her marriage by acting so self absorbed. I can't stand her anymore.

[–] FreyjaAlexa 8 years ago

Yes to all of this! She really needs to get rid of Kathleen and find someone competent, start an exercise regiment, start taking care of Nova, make a point to get dressed every single morning which entails brushing her hair and teeth, putting on some makeup, wear something other than work out clothes cause we all know she isn't working out and most importantly stop making excuses for everything.

The little smirk she had on her face when she was driving to her appointment explaining why she was late really irked me. She doesn't have a job or school, she has plenty of baby sitters, she knows Dr. Drew went out of his way to get her into this doctor and she has the nerve to show up 20 minutes late?! It is so hard to even get into see a doctor for mental health, she was lucky enough to get an appointment and then she has the nerve to show up late? One of my best friends has been waiting 2 months to even get in to see a therapist so this really hits home.

Ugh, I can't stand her anymore either. She also seems very good at turning the tears on and off as well as her anxiety attacks. Not saying it's not real, but she did admit tonight that she even faked crying to the receptionist so she could still get in. I can understand why Tyler is so frustrated with her.

[–] Melancholy11 8 years ago

Exactly! We think alike about this topic. I could not believe when she said she tried crying or whatever to get in the appointment.

Depressed, anxious of whatever. No excuse. She needs to get herself out of bed and if she was running late she should have called the doctor to ask if she would still be seen if she was 20 minutes late. I'm not making an excise for her but her logic is bad. Most doctors would not see a patient that late.

She has shown Dr Drew that she is an ingrate. Her eyes looked really squinted while driving and I would bet she was high.

This girl is going Nowhere fast. Even Tyler looked more lost than ever tonight. I think he has had it.

I feel bad for saying someone is faking or exaggerating their mental health issues, but I just have a feeling Cate is more capable than she's letting on. I also had the thought that she knew the new psychiatrist was going to drug test her and wanted more time to clear out her system. She clearly gets high on weed, but I would bet good money she does harder drugs from time to time. It looked like Cate and her friend had just sneaked off to do some drugs around the time of her "anxiety attack". If people knew Cate was doing using more than just pot people would lose sympathy real fast.

I also wanted to scream out when Kathleen (a quack if I ever saw one) was asking why she always gives her mom such a free pass that it's probably really hard for Cate to hate on her mom when April is her partner in drug use and free baby sitter. I'm no fan of Tyler, but I feel sorry for him and can't imagine he's going to stay much longer if things don't change. They're in their twenties, have a beautiful new home, easy money from MTV, a healthy daughter, and friends/family close, they need to go out and enjoy life it's frustrating to watch.

Cate's behavior gets her what she wants, and as long as that's the case, she'll keep it up. A little tough love might work wonders, but we may never know. I have a family member who used to threaten to "have a panic attack" if things didn't go her way... they were actually temper tantrums in a not-so-great disguise, but this person's spouse fell for it every time and learned to walk on eggshells, where he remains to this day. What a horrific way to spend a marriage.

At first I admit that like Cate I was a bit surprised that the remaining 40 minutes in her time slot weren't still reserved for her despite her tardiness... then I began to wonder "Hmm... maybe that was Lesson One, Take This Seriously Or Don't Bother Us". There may be things they need to do during a first session that take an hour so there's no use starting late, but it could also be a little kick in the backside (which is what I think she needs). Either way, I agree that there was no reason on earth that she couldn't have shown up on time.

[–] calico_skies 8 years ago

She doesn't even have the drive to get up and take care of her daughter in the mornings...as a mom, that just blows my mind. And I have suffered from clinical depression and anxiety for the past 10 years. The only time I was late for a psychiatrist appointment was when I was 38 weeks pregnant and thought it was for a different time.

My guess is the medication she's on is making her very tired. I've known people on antidepressants who have a terrible time getting up in the morning because the fatigue is overwhelming.

[–] Cristiana_James_Wright 8 years ago

The medication that she's on is Mary Jane and it's definitely known to make lazy people even more tired. I smoke weed almost every day and I actually can pay my bills and uphold an occupation. She's a lazy brat who unfortunately has become her mother.

[–] calico_skies 8 years ago

That could be it. Her doctor needs to put her on Wellbutrin, it could do wonders for her. Only antidepressant that gives you energy, can help you lose weight, etc.

NO MEDS - I REPEAT - NO MEDS WILL HELP THIS WOMAN!

I was prescribed Wellbutrin at a very young age, and realized early on that the meds weren't going to help if I didn't take control and choose to have stable moods and emotions.

Wellbutrin gave me a tiny taste for a very short period of how I could function, but at the same time, prolonged usage of that substance was very dangerous.

If the meds are your ONLY stabilizers than you could randomly go off the hinge.

I do not condone the usage of any of these medications for depression.

I believe the best care for depression is mentally deciding to take a hold of your life and mental health by introducing good exercising habits, having a strong set of friends and support, healthy eating, a bit of meditation and having good hobbies or things to be a part.

The problem with this heifer is that she is SPOILED!!!!!!

MTV SPOILS HER and makes her into this victim.

TYLER SPOILS HER and allows her to eat her weight in junk and encourages her by not giving her tough love.

SHE SPOILS HERSELF by not working, spending impulsively, trying to fill holes with material things, smoking weed all day, and being paid for *beep* out a kid.

Catelynn just might be the worst Teen Mom EVER!!!!

She isn't even a teen mom. She gave her kid up for adoption.

I resent this pig. I mean her, not her micropig she probably neglects.
