Singer Britney Spears is still causing a lot of concern with her social media posts.
On Friday night, the 41-year-old pop star took to Instagram to share four posts, all containing lengthy captions. It's worth noting that two of the posts contained the same caption but different photos.
She followed it up with another post saying that posting on Instagram helps her mental health and then shared another dancing video from her living room, which has become social media famous.
Britney Spears Claims 'I Sleep For Days' Due To Nerve Damage Pain
In her latest Instagram video, set to Noga Erez’s “Nails,” the “Hold Me Closer” singer looks like she’s having the time of her life as she dances barefoot on the tile, whipping her hair around as she dances in a yellow crop top and black shorts. At one point, she turns around and flips off the camera, still swaying her hips from side to side.
“Hey I've played the game and I will continue to do my thing because I CAN !!!” Britney wrote in the caption. “I think we all know by now my life hasn't been picture perfect and never was but d--- it helps to think my life could be picture perfect !!!”
'I only show the good moments on Instagram because it helps my mental stability !!!'
Britney continued to say that her Instagram posts help her mental health, writing, “I only show the good moments on Instagram because it helps my mental stability !!!” Many fans have felt that her social media behavior and frequent NSFW photos haven’t been helping her mental health, but it looks like Britney feels otherwise.
“It's so heart wrenching and humbling to complain and complain for hours FOR CAMERAS supporting you with I never had !!!” Britney went on, seemingly addressing her sister Jamie Lynn Spearswho recently appeared on “Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.” In the premiere, the “Zoey 101” star became emotional as she confessed it was hard growing up as Britney’s sister, adding that she still struggles with her self-esteem and developing her own identity.
“If I don't want to share those moments ever again then so be it !!!” Britney wrote, although it’s worth noting that she has a memoir in the works with an uncertain publication date.
“Honestly kiss my mother fucking a-- !!! People don't know I sleep for days sometimes because of the pain but then I guess God whispers in my ears to give me strength and then I rise !!!" Britney concluded. "I express myself and send my message and find my core !!! To stay hungry … to live and … to let go !!! Prayers to every single one of you !!!”
Britney Claims That She Suffers Nerve Damage That ‘Hurts Deeply’
In a previous Instagram post on Friday night, the “Toxic” singer continued to tell her fans about the nerve damage that she is experiencing, although it’s not clear if this started before or after her conservatorship, which lasted from February 2008 to November 2021.
“I have nerve damage on the side of my body … my hand goes numb when I sleep !!! It shoots to my head and it hurts deeply !!!” Britney wrote on Friday night. “I sleep a lot because of the pain. God is the one and only cure PERIOD !!!”
Britney began the post by writing, “For a woman whose name was stolen by her family after 15 years and was told what to do and was extremely punished if I spoke up as a woman to be BORN 😈 😈 😈 … How do I begin to find my NEW hands and legs every day ???”
Towards the end of the post, she repeated that Instagram benefits her mental health and she wants her Instagram page to look “picture perfect” like Reese Witherspoon’s account. Several fans have noticed that she isn’t following “The Morning Show” star on Instagram, leaving many scratching their heads.
Britney Says Her Instagram Posts 'Help My Mental Health'
“I know I seem to make my Instagram picture perfect like the lovely Reese Witherspoon but it honestly helps my mental health … there are things people don't know and I've never shared because it's sad as f--- and embarrassing !!!” Britney wrote.
The “Break The Ice” singer left comments on this post for approximately twenty minutes before they were all deleted. Many of her followers were supportive. “Heal your inner child in your own way and time, Britney,” one follower commented. “I’m sorry for what you had to endure and hope you’re getting all the support you deserve!” another fan added.
However, there were many who felt that Britney should be sharing these thoughts with a medical professional who might be able to help her better than strangers on the Internet. Whatever the case, many are just hoping that Britney finds a way to heal.
