Britney Spears’ friends are allegedly worried about the singer because she has been showing signs that she’s not well.

In its Oct. 3 issue, National Enquirer claimed that Spears is miserably unhappy especially after her recent falling out with her sons.

But what’s more concerning for her peers is the fact that Spears has been posting cryptic messages on social media. And she has also been threatening to harm herself.

“On the surface, Britney’s life couldn’t be better. She is finally out from under her father’s thumb, she has a new marriage, and she has started recording music again. Yet she’s miserably unhappy because she feels abandoned by her boys. Her friends suspect she should be institutionalized again before she does harm to herself,” the source said.

The source also insisted that Spears is at a real crisis point right now. And she is also at risk of taking her own life if she doesn’t get the help that she needs.

To make their claims more convincing, the tabloid spoke with a psychologist who has never met Spears. Dr. Carle claimed that the “Toxic” singer was technically institutionalized and jailed because she was unable to live a free life due to her conservatorship.

“She was in effect incarcerated for 14 years and then she got out of jail without the wherewithal to navigate in the real world. Somebody needs to be overseeing her medication or it’s a recipe for disaster. The meds are meant to calm down her bipolar condition – if not, the highs and lows become so severe it’s very dangerous,” the source said.

However, one should take the tabloid’s claims with a grain of salt. Even though it’s true that Spears is at odds with her sons right now, this is not enough reason for the singer to take her own life.

Spears has been through so much more than a series of back and forth with her children. And their feud isn’t going to end the singer’s life.

It’s not true that Spears’ friends are worried about her because they do not have anything to worry about. There’s no indication that the singe ever harmed herself or put herself in harm’s way just because she’s going through so much.

As of late, Spears is focused on making music and on trying to conceive a baby with her husband, Sam Asghari.
