Let’s get this straight: Sinead O’Connor‘s suddenly embarrassed about all of her public ranting two weeks ago about needing a good lay, after her psychiatrist scolded her. She tweeted that she’s humiliated since she has kids who are old enough to read about their mom’s sexual urges online. Then she says she wishes she could kill herself, thus leaving her precious children motherless. Huh?
It’s really difficult to follow Sinead’s train of thought here. Apparently she blabbed all that stuff about wanting to hump trucks to make light of her divorce (read: to get attention). She stands by her oversharing, saying that she’s in the right for talking about what the rest of us are too uptight/dead inside to acknowledge. Maybe she’s right about the content, but she’s dead wrong about the medium: We didn’t need to read her treatise on anal sex.
It’s Sinead’s crazy persona, brought on by these quotes, that makes her want to end it all. It’s especially disturbing when she writes,
I want to go to heaven SO bad. Have for yrs. But I don’t wanna abandon my kids. But if I cud die without them knowing I did it myself I wud.
Isn’t she worried about her kids stumbling onto Twitter and reading this? This is far worse than hearing that your mom’s horny.
And it’s apparently her psychiatrist’s fault for pulling her out of the happy bubble she was in last month:
And I had more fun last 4 wks then had for yrs. And had self-esteem. So when I went into doc I was happy. Now I wish I was dead. No hope. Supposed to leave psychiatrist feeling happy.. Or at least hopeful. She crushes me. She’s done it b4. Ruins me fuckin life.
It’s worth noting that Sinead’s been suffering from bipolar disorder for a long time, and yes, she did attempt suicide in 1999. So it’s hard to tell if this is just another type of oversharing or if her own bizarre behavior is pushing her over the edge.
Obviously, the author of this article knows very little about bipolar disorder. Overall impression: harsh and judgmental.
Former comment gone? Too harsh? Maybe. Let me just say that she may have made a mistake on Twitter but it wasn’t that big of a deal and not worth the pain. Move on, heal, be happy. When you are ready, re-evaluate with whom you have frank and intimate conversations–especially with your accurate and courageous attitudes about the church. You may not see a connection but there is one. In any event, forget about it for now, and do what makes you feel healed.
Sinead SHOULD feel embarrassed at her adolescent silly prattle about sex and fruit and lord knows what. It’s one thing to openly discuss mature sex with friends, it’s another to giggle about it like children on Twitter. When she considers being open is just childish stupidity. But none of this is serious enough for her to consider suicide–something else is going on. What did she expect her psychiatrist to say–this will make you happy, why not have the neighbors over for a pot luck and discuss anal sex with the children? I don’t think so. Perhaps her shrink was harsh, but she may not have been wrong.
For her to now blame suicidal thoughts on her psychiatrist is too convenient. Sinead has been on a slow burn for weeks. Somebody, please help this woman.
Question: How can someone with so much integrity and dignity when it comes to the Church and the sex scandals show a nun clearly enjoying a banana on her twitter site? Not funny, Sinead. You make fun of one and abhor he other, when the two issues are not that far apart. Think about it.
This is a brilliant, courageous woman with a deeply immature spot in her brain. Integrate it all and she could conquer the world.
Can’t you people read. She is NOT embarrassed by her sex talk. She is embarrased of Irish Society where it seems you can not have sex talk without a shrink telling you are mental if you talk about sex.
You say: “She tweeted that she’s humiliated since she has kids who are old enough to read about their mom’s sexual urges online”
No that is your lie too. She did not tweet that. It is YOU who think she should be ashamed of sex talk cos she has kids. In realioty her kids think she is cool and are proud of her sex talk and being herself and not your puppet.
If you don’t like her jokes about (anal) sex then don’t read them.
