Sinead O'Connor

Sinead O'Connor has responded to the suicidal Twitter messages that brought police to her door last Wednesday night, reports KoVideo.net.

Her followers had alerted the authorities after a series of messages on Twitter portrayed her weak mental state.

Sinead O’Connor says she is ‘tired of being labeled as crazy’
------------------

She tweeted: "Had to go psychiatrist for routine renew prescription etc. She says I'm a bad mum and mental for talking so openly about sex in public. So now I wish suicide wud kill me. All this s--t we're not supposed to say. Including suicidal feelings, sex, etc. U just get treated like a crazy person. I want to go...To heaven SO bad. Have for yrs...But I don't wanna abandon my kids. But if I cud die without them knowing I did it myself I wud. An I know every1 will say I'm a c--- for saying that.. But f--- all this s--- we're 'not supposed to say'. I'm so tired. 24 yrs...Of being treated like a crazy person. Can't manage any more. Badly wish cud die without it ruining my kids lives. Anyway.. If any1 knows how I can kill myself...Without my kids finding out I did it deliberately pls tell me asa f--kin p."

Now, the singer has posted a letter on her website to let fans know she is okay.

She wrote: “I do believe suicide is a sin. Because u may as well have murdered every one who loves u even remotely. Including 'God'. And we all have people who adore us.. Even if we think we don't. And its not only ok but MANDATORY u SAY when u feel suicidal and ask for help. And anyone who criticises u can f--- off so they can for themselves and is only afraid of their own 'madness.'"

She also tweeted: "Am fine. All is well. Am sorry upset people. Better out than in."

So sorry that she (or anyone for that matter) should feel such pain. She's a brilliant musician. May she live and be well.

@sirpeter wow.. good on you.. such compassion and empathy..the woman has problems.. she's never pretended otherwise.. would you prefer she just committed suicide and then you could say what a great tragic star she was....if someone feels suicidal they should reach out in whatever way they can. kinda similar to when she called the cops on Shane McGowan cos he was killing himself on Heroin.. she asked would you prefer I let him die.. he's my friend... the funny thing is you both clicked on the link.. and read enough to comment.. don't read her ranks in future..

Sweet Mother! Make it stop. Must we be beaten about the head and shoulders with her nuisance rants and the subsequent reporting of them? Stop the reporting. Shift the focus on Lohan or the like.
