Britney Spears: It's Groundhog Day Every Day

She's got a new album coming out in a month, she's recently regained some quality times with her kids, she's working on a major comeback from what was literally the pit, and she's looking better than she has in ages, but Britney Spears still isn't happy.  In a new documentary she is featured in, Britney reveals not only that she feels trapped inside the same old same old every day, but (in my opinion) that she's not quite out of the woods yet when it comes to her mental health issues:

In a new fly-on-the-wall documentary she admits: 'There’s no excitement, there’s no passion.

'I have really good days, and then I have bad days. Even when you go to jail, y'know, there’s the time when you’re gonna get out.

'But in this situation, it’s never ending. It’s just like Groundhog Day every day.'

Britney believes she is still being forced to 'pay' for her well-documented meltdown.

She says: 'I think it’s too in control. If I wasn’t under the restraints I’m under, I’d feel so liberated. When I tell them the way I feel, it’s like they hear but they’re really not listening.

'If you do something wrong in your work, you can move on, but I’m having to pay for a long time.

'I never wanted to become one of those prisoner people. I always wanted to feel free.'

'I think I've learnt my lesson now and enough is enough.'


No, Britney.  I don't believe you are ready.

You see, she's looking at it wrong.  People aren't out to "make her pay".  Nobody is trying to sit her in the time-out chair and punish her for acting bad or having a tantrum.  She has mental health issues, and from all accounts very serious ones.  When someone deals with a mental illness (in Britney's case, it is widely believed to be bipolar disorder), it takes a long time to come back from that.  It is a day to day process, sometimes a minute to minute process, and sometimes people do start to believe that they are being "punished" for acting like a bad child...if you'd just lighten up on them and leave them alone, they'd show you that they could behave and act right.
