Sinéad O’Connor recently posted a video where she pleaded for help and revealed that she has wanted to kill herself for the last two years.
She has since followed up the video with a new Facebook post:
“Hi everybody, I am posting at Sinéad's request, to let everyone who loves her know she is safe, and she is not suicidal. She is surrounded by love and receiving the best of care. She asked for this to be posted knowing you are concerned for her. I won't respond to any questions, so please understand. I hope this comforts those of you were concerned.”
O’Connor has been going through a rough time. She is struggling with mental illnesses and has felt isolated since losing custody of her 13-year-old son.
Following the video, police performed a welfare check but were not able to find the singer at her stated address.
Thankfully, fans of the artist can rest easier knowing that she is getting support.
