ZiggyZiggs 30,062 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Sinead O'Connor has said she feels "suicidal" in a video uploaded to her Facebook account. The singer is seen crying in the 12-minute video, which she said she was uploading in an effort to help people understand mental illness. "I am now living in a motel in New Jersey. I'm all by myself," she said. "Mental illness, it's like drugs, it doesn't [care] who you are, and equally what's worse, the stigma doesn't care who you are." "There's absolutely nobody in my life except my doctor, my psychiatrist - the sweetest man on earth, who says I'm his hero - and that's about the only thing keeping me alive at the moment... and that's kind of pathetic. 'Vulnerable people' "I want everyone to know what it's like, that's why I'm making this video." O'Connor criticised her family for not taking better care of her over the last two years. "I am one of millions... people who suffer from mental illness are the most vulnerable people on earth, we can't take care of ourselves, you've got to take care of us," she said. "My entire life is revolving around not dying, and that's not living. And I'm not going to die, but still, this is no way for people to be living." The singer was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2003, but she later said she had been misdiagnosed and actually suffered from depression and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Source That's one of the most heartbreaking videos I've ever seen. I'm so scared for her Take a few minutes of your time and send your love to her on Facebook, she's reading all her messages. Just reach out, it can save someone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sister 9,907 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 This is really sad. She has needed help before and I am surprised that there is no one in her life to step in and help her. Everyone needs at least one person in their life that is there for them. I hope that someone will come through for her. The future's uncertain and the end is always near.

REALITY 77,114 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I truly hope that she gets the help she deserves and that she does her best to help cope with her illness People always have this stigma around mental illness and that it's "just something you have to get over," but it's not that simple. This is clearly a cry for help and she is so brave to make a video like this. People always say "Everyone experiences bad things, you just need to learn to get over it," and to those people, everyone experiences things different, and not everyone's "bad things" are on the same level as another person. I've been reading some of the comments,and some of them are just awful. Most of them are great in saying that they hope that she gets the help and love she needs, but it's just so f*cking awful to see such a negative stigma around mental illness. It's not something you can just "get over," it's a problem and I pray that she gets the love and support she needs.

YorkieCat 175 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Wasn't she abused as a child? Just like Chester... People are ****. They only care when you're dead and even then it's not because they actually miss you, it's because they get the attention.
