Britney Spears has reportedly confessed to pals: "I hate my life." Sources say the troubled chart star is bored of being stuck indoors, after dad Jamie ordered her to stay out of the limelight in a last-gasp bid to help her get better. Much to the singers disappointment, he has told her she can't go to nightclubs or hang out with her paparazzi pals. But according to reports, the restrictions are driving Brit crazy and she is desperate to leave her home. A friend of the Toxic star said that Britney recently sent a text message to them saying:

"I'm so bored. I hate my life. They keep taking my phone away. If my dad knows I'm talking to you he's going to be upset."

Dad Jamie Spears won control of his famous daughter's multi-million dollar estate earlier this month, and he vowed to help his daughter, after she spent time in a US psychiatric ward at the start of the year. But friends say, a typical day of Britney's involves spending hours alone in her bedroom. A frequent visitor to the home told how it was "like a princess' room with several walk-in closets and a spa tub, plus a long counter where she used to keep all her wigs. Apparently Jamie stays in a room downstairs and leaves his daughter alone when she's in her private suite, while Brit spends hours in front of the mirror trying on different outfits.

"Changing clothes all day long must seem harmless enough, so her dad doesn't interfere with that. She'll change three or four times on days when she's not leaving the house." "Her life may seem out of control, but the inside of her house is very ordered. She's very clean and has no clutter. [But] she seems to genuinely miss the craziness. Sad as it is, she loved that life."
