“All is well. My family has been going through a lot of stress and anxiety lately, so I just needed time to deal,” Spears said on Instagram Tuesday

Britney Spears has resurfaced on social media to reassure fans that she’s okay as she continues to seek treatment.

“Hi guys, just checking in with all of you who are concerned about me,” Spears, 37, said in a video shared on Instagram Tuesday.

“All is well. My family has been going through a lot of stress and anxiety lately, so I just needed time to deal.”

“Don’t worry I’ll be back very soon,” Spears, who wore a lace top and left her hair and makeup messy, added.

The “Piece of Me” singer went into further detail about her current situation in the caption writing, “I wanted to say hi because things that are being said have just gotten out of control!!!”

“Wow!!! There’s rumors, death threats to my family and my team, and just so many things — crazy things being said. I am trying to take a moment for myself, but everything that’s happening is just making it harder for me,” Spears continued.

“Don’t believe everything you read and hear.”

Spears then went on to slam her former manager Sam Lutfi for allegedly sending “fake emails” and indirectly addressed the #freebritney movement which has suggested she is being held against her will.

“I did not write them. He was pretending to be me and communicating with my team with a fake email address,” Spears wrote.

“My situation is unique, but I promise I’m doing what’s best at this moment 🌸🌸🌸 You may not know this about me, but I am strong, and stand up for what I want!”

Lutfi did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

Spears also praised her fans for their overwhelming support.

“Your love and dedication is amazing, but what I need right now is a little bit of privacy to deal with all the hard things that life is throwing my way.”

“If you could do that, I would be forever grateful. Love you ❤️❤️❤️,” Spears concluded.

“She’s doing great,” Asghari, 25, told TMZ on Tuesday. “Thank you for your concern.”

“She’s doing amazing,” Asghari continued before acknowledging the overwhelming support Spears has received from both celebrities and fans.
