Maybe she wolfed down some bad sashimi, or perhaps blinding flashbulbs finally got to her, but Britney Spears definitely looked frustrated as she left Shu Sushi in Bel Air yesterday. Wait -- was she crying?
After taking a deep breath and pulling herself together, Spears immediately went from dreary to cheery -- smiling and waving to paps as she navigated her black Mercedes through a sea of shutterbugs. What a pro!
While tears didn't actually appear on Spears' face, we're told she unleashed the waterworks inside the restaurant -- and this wasn't the first time we've heard stories of Britney bawling in public. We heard that over the weekend, Brit was sobbing in between club-hopping. What's eating her?

Maybe she is finally starting to realize that money does not buy happiness. She needs to make real change in her life if she wants true happiness. Maybe if she would use her celebrity for a good cause instead just self promotion, she would feel better. That and being a real mother.

I think Britney needs to grow up and take responsiblity for those two little boys. She keeps doing what she is doing like drinking, showing her privates, and wearing no underwear, she will lose those boys. HEY BRITNEY GROW UP it is time you do.

Perhaps she's finally realizing that she's washed up? Her career is in the crapper? That she's a talentless has-been? That she's a sh1tty mother? That she's a fug? That she...oh...I ain't got all day here.
Who cares, she'll probably OD by the end of the year anyways. Give K-Fed the kids - he's probably a better parent than she'll ever dream of being. She's not fit to raise a flag.

I think she is Bi Polar or very very depressed. I would hope she can get to a doctor soon to find out if she is or not.

has her parents, whom she is not speaking to, or her exhusband, whom she is not speaking to, or her manager/rep/babysitter/friends thought that possibly she might be suffering from manic depression aka bi polar disorder. If someone is predisposed to bipolar disorder, women tend to exhibit symptoms and have an intital episode after childbirth due to the hormonal flucuations.
she is exhibiting all the symptoms of the highs and lows...depression (crying) and mania (attacking the paparazzi, verbal confrontations with her family/support system, and risky behavior and shopping sprees).

Then she should leave the publicity and stay home for once. You will not hear poor britney from me! She needs to give it up and leave and be a real mother two those adorble children. Show those kids some love and respect. I am so sick of this has been.

I know someone who was the best mother until about a year after they were born. From that point on, her personality totally changed. Because of the chemical imbalance that resulted from giving birth, her manic depression rose to the surface. From that point, you couldn't even recognize her. Even when she finally got her meds balanced with mood stablizers after a stay in a hospital, she was never the same. Calmer yes, but not the same person. I tell you, if you havent seen someone with it, you have no idea what's its like. Britney shows all the classic signs. Most people that have it are so embarrased by it that they go into denial. If they do, it can be dangerous because it only gets worse.

A number of people have (and will) comment that a lot of Britney Spears issues are caused by the paparrazzi and media. I completely disagree.
My belief and opinion is that she has put herself in this position. With such a public display during her marriage, she had the choice to announce her divorce and focus completely on her children. Instead, she partied which increased public scrutiney of her. She reigned in, just a bit but she still continued to live her life in the public eye. After all this, she had a breakdown (going bald, umbrella attack, etc.). And she has recently had a public denouncement of her mother.
If Britney Spears wants to find some sanity, she should first stop living her life so completely in the public eye, i.e. stop partying, make better choices on what she is mostly criticized about such as her hair and dress choices. And then, she should get away. She needs to be out of LA, Miami, NY for about 6 months. She should spend some time away in a remote area/town to recoup. But with her kids and minimal entourage.

Alcohol is a depressant. She could have been drinking and started crying just because she was "under the influence"....either this or she has worms from the sushi.

I'm worried about Britney, Is it possible she is Bi-Polar and could help control her mood swings with the medication available to treat this .? I hope some doctor checks this out.
