O’CONNOR RELIEVED TO LEARN SHE’S BIPOLAR
Irish singer SINEAD O’CONNOR was relieved when she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, because it helped her come to terms with years of suicidal thoughts.
The 40-year-old spoke out about her condition during a chat with U.S. TV host Oprah Winfrey on Thursday (04Oct07), revealing she often used to wake up sobbing for no reason.
She told Winfrey, "It’s like being a bucket with holes in it. Just leaking tears from every pore." O’Connor revealed she once attempted suicide on her 33rd birthday, but refused to go into details.
She was diagnosed bipolar in 2003 and now takes medications to control her moods and help her sleep.
She said, "I’m not going to sit here and claim that I’m kinda perfect or anything. Anything is an improvement when you’ve been in desolation… To be out of that place is brilliant. It doesn’t mean you don’t have lumps and bumps.
"(But) I’m certainly out of despair, which is great."
