Britney Spears just took a step in the right direction for her mental health

Let this serve as your daily reminder to always take care of your mental health too. Sometimes, this is something we overlook and ignore.

A few hours after posting an inspirational quote on Instagram, Britney Spears checked herself into a mental health facility. Quite timely since she posted, “We all need to take time for a little ‘me time.’”

According to The Cut, this is a few months after she announced she wouldn’t be performing her “Domination” show. In a post from January, she shared that she wanted to put family first and focus on supporting her dad who was having health problems. “A couple of months ago, my father was hospitalized and almost died. We’re all so grateful that he came out alive, but he still has a long road ahead of him.”

A source also told People, “They’re so close, and it has been a lot. There is nothing dramatic going on with her—she just realized she needs to make sure to take time to care for herself.”

Whether you’re going through something similar or feel the same way, don’t be afraid to ask for help.
