Sinead O'Connor Recovering From Suicide Bid

Troubled singer Sinead O'Connor was last night recovering from a suicide bid after taking an overdose of pills.

The Nothing Compares 2 U star, 45, who has a history of depression, made a desperate cry for help on Twitter yesterday claiming she was "in danger" if she did not get the correct medication.

Luckily, the singer, who is currently in Dublin, got the help she needed after struggling to find psychiatric care in the city.

The star, who is now working on getting back to health, said: "God obviously wants me around - though I can't think why."

1. I'm very glad she got help!

She's a brave and visionary woman who spoke out against the church long before other victims could. She paved the way and paid the price. If her attempt to commit suicide would have been successful it would have been a tragic ending to a life devoted to the Truth. May others get the help they need because of her.

3. spoke out against the church long before other victims could.

You mean other victims in the pop music circuit?

8. At the risk of being banned

I find your post to be highly insulting and unnecessarily snarky and cynical.

If I get banned then so be it.

2. I hope she comes back better than ever.

Simple beauty.

4. Didn't she just get married?

Poor guy has to feel pretty low after this. Just months after getting married she tries to kill herself

6. Seems to be a bit rocky.

After announcing her brief split from Herridge, O'Connor revealed that she had taken her husband on a 'wild' search for marijuana on their wedding night.
The singer, who admitted that she attempted suicide on her 33rd birthday 11 years ago, recently split from and then reunited with her fourth husband Barry Herridge.

5. Troubled soul.

7. Wait what?

She got married, then divorced 15 days later because her husband (and her therapist) was caught in the middle of her buying crack. He bailed. But then they reconciled.

Now she tried to commit suicide?

Damn, the poor woman. I hope she gets a better therapist/husband.

I know she has had a lot of trouble in her life, I believe, stemming from being abused as a child.

I hope she gets the help she needs.

11. At one point in her career she claimed to be a lesbian as well

then walked it back shortly thereafter, I wonder if that has anything to do with her mental health.
