Lindsay's Cry For Help Caught On Tape!

Oh Lindsay. We adore you, and we know you're a bit of a free spirit, but it really seems like you've been out of control lately, and these phone recordings have us totally scared for you!

Michael Lohan has just released the first round of recorded phone calls between him and his daughter to Radar Online, and we can now understand why Lindsay and her mother were so upset about the calls hitting the web. Lindsay sounds like she's having a total meltdown, and some of the things she says make us feel very sorry for her.

The call starts off with Lindsay saying, "I'm not someone who's gonna go to someone else when they're like, constantly, I mean like, the only person that they're there for, and that's not what I have and I want to so much." Lindsay bawls and struggles to catch her breath, and adds, "Just 'cause they're caring more than the other side..."

After even more crying, Lindsay mumbles, "And so mommy says that I'm like you were, and then she's like, defending, or so she says to me on the phone, she doesn't back me, and she doesn't stand by me."

After that, it sounds like someone in the background (whose voice definitely resembles Dina Lohan's) says, "Don't say that!"

After a brief pause, Lindsay continues, "Why? Why!!!" Then, Lindsay seems to articulate herself a little bit better when she says, "I'm fine. No one cares about me, they don't by the way, no one cares about that much. It's never about that, it's about how they feel, not how I feel ... no it's not about me, it's never been about me, unless I fight for it."

Sometimes we like to poke fun at Lindsay for overusing Twitter and for some of her silly ad campaigns, but there's really nothing comical about these phone calls. After hearing this (and we're sure there will be many more to come), it sure seems like someone needs to step in and help Lindsay - but who?
