Britney Spears, 42, posted a disturbing message on her personal blog, shocking her tens of millions of followers. In the emotional post, which has since been deleted, Britney admitted that “her nervous system is irreversibly damaged,” so severely that she sometimes “has a hard time thinking,” and linked her condition to her 13-year custody, which is court-ordered to terminate in November 2021.
However, Spears noted that she didn’t want to appear as a “victim,” but simply couldn’t keep her accumulated worries to herself. And the release of her own memoir, The Woman in Me, never seemed to help her sublimate her traumatic life experiences.
I’m not here to be a victim, I’m here to explain that even though I wrote a book about my experiences, trauma still exists and probably always will. It’s extremely deep and as far as I’m concerned all I can do is get upset or be out of sorts sometimes, but I don’t think the world allows me to do that!
