She said the only reason she had launched an online search for a partner was due to her deep unhappiness. She explained “Truth is I only did all this for the last month cuz I was so depressed about my marriage breaking up and I got tired of crying.”
She continued “And tired of thinking I'm a sh*t person all day. So I thought I'd turn it into something funny. And it worked! And I had more fun last four weeks than I had for years. And had self-esteem.”
It seems that on Tuesday O’Connor had had a bad experience which tipped her over the edge. She said “Now I wish I was dead. No hope…Anyway…If anyone knows how I can kill myself without my kids finding out I did it deliberately please tell me.”
At 6.30pm she posted “I want to go to heaven so bad. Have for years…But I don't want to abandon my kids. But if I could die without them knowing I did it myself, I would.”
The alarm was raised by her Twitter followers were receiving a live feed of her posts.
Local police in Bray, County Wicklow were contacted by a concerned fan and a squad car was sent over.
On fan on Twitter wrote “So much love out there for you.” Another wrote “If anyone knows the lovely, clever, funny [Sinead O'Connor] can they go and give her the hugest hug.”

I cannot see how her death would be a great loss. We survived Amy Winehouse. She isn't much different.

Regardless of whatever you think of Sinead in the public realm, she is still a person in need of help and we owe it to our fellow human to support her in this time of need. Her worry about the effects on her children is monumental to their future outlook on life. We can help, even in our on-line support with comforting words.

Am I dreaming or in her 'will she won't she'saga whether to appear on the Late Late last week didn't she say that she didn't want to be portrayed as some kind of whackjob ? As for the poster who thinks she is a 'national treasure' - give me a break, she's a national embarrasssment.

What does she expect, when she tears up a photo of Christ's representative, insults the Sacrament of Ordination, and now has the audacity of thinking that she's going to heaven - she's some idiot!

Why does she assume she's going to heaven?

To be honest she came across OK on the late late show. She seems the most normal i ever saw her.She claims she love her kids but this crap must be wreaking their heads.What mother would carry on like her.

... Sinead is a national treasure, The Irish nation and indeed the global community has an obligation to ensure she is unharmed, protected and have no doubts but she will continue to give back in return more and more than we can imagine. Take care Sinead. We hear your cry. All is well.

It's probably due to hormonal imbalances. Hold on, it gets better.
