“But, I couldn’t take the pain anymore honestly !!! In some sort of telepathic way I have been receiving so many messages that melt my heart from friends and I thank you !!!”
The mum-of-two continued: “I’ve been playing it strong for way too long and my Instagram may seem perfect but it’s far from reality and I think we all know that !!!
“I would love to show my emotions and tears on how I really feel but some reason I’ve always had to hide my weaknesses !!!”
The Baby One More Time hitmaker added: “I wasn’t my dad’s strong soldier, I would be sent away to places to get fixed by doctors !!! But that’s when I needed family the most !!!”

The pop star signed off the post: “And I’m actually doing pretty damn good !!! Anyways have a good day and don’t forget to smile !!!”
In the video, Britney seemed to be in high spirts as she energetically twirled around to Janet Jackson’s 1993 hit, If.
