The Irish songwriter, who has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, took to the social media site for a tearful confessional recording, opening up about how alone she has felt since losing custody of her 13-year-old son.
In the video, posted from the Travelodge in New Jersey where she says she is now living, the 50-year-old said she suffers from three mental illnesses. “I’m all by myself, there’s absolutely nobody in my life.
“I’m now living in a Travelodge motel in the arse-end of New Jersey.
“[No one] except my doctor, my psychiatrist — who is the sweetest man on earth who says I’m his hero — and that’s about the only f**king thing keeping me alive at the moment. The fact that I’m his bloody hero ... and that’s kind of pathetic.”

Is this current? This also happened a few months ago, I seem to recall?

Eight hours behind, it'll be light by now.
I seem to recall you having a pop at us for "mocking mental illness". Anything to add to this "serious discussion"?
Pretty sure she was sectioned for a bit either last year or earlier this year to do with having her kids taken away from her. She also disappeared for a couple of days. Clearly not getting all the help she needs. Very sad to see some utter funts elsewhere taking pops at her and saying it's karma or she deserves it because she is a celeb. Celebs are also human and in fact seem to have to deal with a fair amount more stress than non-famous people. Sure, you can say they "asked for it" in that they courted fame but having every inch of your life documented or paps deliberately sabotaging anything you do or say, or hounding your kids, etc is just bullshit.
