Sinead O’Connor sparked a police search, after she took to Facebook to reveal she had checked into a hotel anonymously and taken an overdose.
The troubling message sparked panic amongst her fans who alerted authorities in Ireland, and police thankfully found the mother-of-four before it was too late.
In her worrying Facebook message, the 48-year-old wrote: 'There is only so much any woman can be expected to bear.'
'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. I could have been dead here for weeks already and they'd never have known.
'I'm such a rotten horrible mother and person, that I've been alone. Howling crying for weeks.'
Just one day before this, the Nothing Compares hit singer took to Facebook, writing:
'I need a new home. And a new job. A new life ... Music is over for me. Music did this. It rendered me invisible. Murdered my soul. I'm never going back to music.'
She added: '[I have] lost everything, my job, my home, my sons, my womb, my eldest kids, my identity. I cannot eat Christmas dinner with these people ever again.
[I have been] pushed into a corner that somehow hasn't killed me yet. I have no family. No home. No job.’
Police have confirmed she was found safe, and reports suggest she has been on suicide watch for the past two weeks.
The singer has opened up about her mental health issues in the past, revealing she suffers from bipolar disorder and has been hospitalised before.
Our thoughts are with Sinead and her family.
