Sinéad O'Connor aka Shuhada' Davitt

Recommended Posts

Yet another Grauniad book plug masquerading as news.

That said it was probably a more interesting read than the actual news.

She's about to release her memoirs and the Guardian has a huge recounting of her story:

https://www.theguardian.com/music/2021/may/29/sinead-oconnor-ill-always-be-a-bit-crazy-but-thats-ok-rememberings

 

For the past six years, she's mostly been in what she calls "the nuthouse". She used to try to kill herself with sleeping pills, but not recently. She's had mental breakdowns because one of her kids got sick, and she had surgically induced menopause which was worse than the usual process. She's been diagnosed as 10% bipolar, and with a very borderline personality. During her most mentally dark times in 2017, she also had gallstones.

She's been out of mental institutions since January this year.

Also, when she visited Prince he locked her up in his mansion and wanted to have a pillow fight.

 

Still, she seems fairly okay for the time being.

 

 

Cheers GC, that's saved me reading the whole thing.

She will be around for decades. Nothing compares to Allah.

I have sympathy re gallstones - they're absolute swines and the pain is enough to drive anyone nuts.

 

I look forward to reading her memoir - I expect it to be a *very* good read indeed.

Sad. Wonder if this is one tragedy too far. Don't be surprised if we hear she's 'gone missing' in the next month or two.

That's a small family by Irish Catholic standards coming from a Catholic family myself of Irish descent.

My father-in-law was one of 13. My wife has over 30 cousins on that side alone. They were not catholics.

Tend to agree the death of a child would take alot out of a stable and healthy person, so you can imagine what it's doing and will do to her.

Actually Muslims don't get affected by death so much as they just regarded it as being decided by God, i.e. fate.

So if she really converted then she might be able to brush it off.

Sad thing is she has other children....I'm sure just what they need after having a sibling die is their mother to threaten the same.

her account is back. Don't think she'll commit suicide, I agree that she's seeking for help but she's very unstable and I don't know if she has the strength to overcome all of this

Does she attempt suicide or just write suicide notes/ tweets?

 

If she does attempt suicide one day she'll get it right.
