Irish singer Sinead O’Conner went on Twitter yesterday in a desperate plea for psychiatric help. The singer, 45, had attempted suicide just days before.

Sinead reportedly suffers from bipolar disorder, and previously attempted suicide on her 33rd birthday back in 1999.

The Sun is reporting that she took an overdose of pills last Thursday while visiting Los Angeles. Two days later, while back in Ireland, she tried again.  ”I just had to make a cry for help” she said on Twitter.

This last Tuesday, the singer wrote she was in “serious danger” without her medication, and pleaded with her Twitter followers to help her find a psychiatrist in Dublin. She wrote:

i realise i will be in trouble 4 doing this but.. ireland is a VERY hard place to find help in. So having tried other ways 1st im asking

does any1 know a psychiatrist in dublin or wicklow who could urgently see me today please? im really un-well… and in danger.

and i desperately need to get back on meds today. am in serious danger. please e mail me at iamwonderful@me.com if u know or are

O’Connor also explained that she broken her ankle and didn’t want to go to a hospital for help because she didn’t want to leave her four children or “f**k up me work.”

Nearly nine and half hours later she returned to Twitter to thank her followers for their help, telling them she felt “much better” and was going to start back on her medication.

In September 2011, the singer also turned to Twitter, writing about her suicidal thoughts, which she also called “a cry for help.”
