Britney Spears has spoken candidly for the first time since her very public breakdown in January, labeling her current life as worse than a prison sentence.

The pop star explained that although things are still tough, she’s slowly healing one day at a time.

“I have really good days, and then I have bad days,” the 26-year-old said in a new 90-minute documentary - Britney: For The Record – set to air at the end of the month.

Spears continued: “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 [the Bill Murray movie] Groundhog Day.”

“I’m having to pay for it for a really long time,” she added.

She adds, “I’m having to pay for it for a really long time.”

Since her hospitalisation in January, Spears has undergone several mental evaluations, lost the custody of her sons – Sean Preston and Jayden James – to ex-husband Kevin Federline, and had the control of her estate and professional affairs turned over to her father, Jamie Spears.

During her many months of healing, Spears explained that she felt like she wasn’t been seen in “the light that [she] wanted to be seen in,” and decided to film a documentary in order to show the honest truth of the situation.

A camera crew has spent the last three months following the singer around, and the result is 90 minutes of complete and utter honesty on Spears’ part.

“This is an opportunity to set the record straight and talk about what I’ve been through and where I’m headed,” Spears said of the documentary.

The Toxic singer added: “I think I’ve learned my lesson now, and enough it enough.”

Britney: For The Record will air on U.S television on November 30 on MTV and on December 1 on Sky1 in the U.K..
