Sinead O’Connor Suicide: ‘Nothing Compares To You’ Singer Took an Overdose; Details On Her Suicide Attempt

Sinead O'Connor's suicide attempt shocked the world. On Monday, the iconic singer of the hit song, "Nothing Compares To You," took to social media for the second time to express to her family members her disappointment and blamed them for her most recent suicide attempt.

Sinead O'Connor, 48, left her exes with an emotional message on her Facebook account expressing her anger and wish of not wanting to see them again. She then wrote a second message to her kids, including her sons Jake, 28, Shane, 11, and Yeshua, 8, and her daughter, Roisin, 19. O'Connor's suicide attempt happened a day before the singer claimed she had an overdose, Us Weekly reports.

"Jake, Roisin, Jr., frank, Donal, Eimear, I never wanna see you again," O'Connor wrote to her exes on Facebook. "You stole my sons from me. Then you had hypocrisy to come to hospital and then not be here when I wake and not pick up phone? I'm s--t to you."

It was followed with her second message to her children, which says, "You're dead to me. You killed your mother."

On Sunday, O'Connor's suicide post on Facebook caused panic to her fans and loved ones when she wrote that she had an overdose. The 48-year-old troubled songstress expressed her wrath to her family and blamed them for leaving her after she had a hysterectomy in August, according to Radar Online.

"This week has broken me," wrote O'Connor. "The last two nights finished me off. 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. There is only so much a woman can be expected to bear."

The "I Want To Be Loved By You" singer is in the midst of visitation rights battle with her former partner over her youngest son.

This is not O'Connor's first suicide attempt.  In 2007, she opened up to Oprah that she tried committing suicide on her 33rd birthday. The former popular Irish singer-songwriter claimed she was misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2011. The same year, she revealed that she has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder.

After O'Connor's suicide announcement, a spokesman at Dublin Ireland's Pearse Street Garda Station claimed that the songstress was "safe and well."
