Irish singer-songwriter Sinead O'Connor wrote an alarming post (see below) that seemed to be a suicide note on her Facebook on Sunday claiming that she had "taken an overdose," but is reportedly OK.
Over the past 24 hours, there were a series of disturbing posts on the singer's page after an apparent fight with Irish folk musician Donal Lunny, who is the father of her youngest son Shane, according to Billboard. Apparently, Lunny would not allow her to see her son and this is where the posts all began.
While they seemed somewhat typical as O'Connor, 48, is known for posting attention-grabbing posts, the last one could not go ignored as a possible suicide attempt was written within the lengthy message. "The last two nights finished me off," she wrote. "I have taken an overdose. There is no other way to get respect. I am not at home, I'm at a hotel, somewhere in Ireland, under another name."
"If I wasn't posting this, my kids and family wouldn't even find out," she continued to write. "Was dead for another fortnight since none of them bother their hole with me for a minute. I could have been dead here for weeks already and they'd never have known. Because apparently I'm scum and deserve to be abandoned and treated like shit...My children don't care if I live or die anyway. Neither do their dads. Everyone is better off. Never ever do this to a woman again. Let this be your lesson."
O'Connor is someone who has battled depression and attempted suicide before, so after more than 2,000 people commented on this post, authorities were called, according to E! News. Police then went to check on her.
Authorities were able to locate her and said that she was found "safe and sound," according to Breaking News.ie. She is currently receiving medical assistance.
