Sinead O'Connor Feeling 'Fine' After Suicidal Tweets

"I do believe suicide is a sin," wrote the Irish singer, best known for her heartbreaking 1990 cover of Prince's 'Nothing Compares 2 U.' "Because u may as well have murdered every one who loves u even remotely. Including 'God'. And we all have people who adore us.. Even if we think we don't."
O'Connor did, however, defend the right to feel suicidal and alert others about such self-destructive urges.
"And its not only ok but MANDATORY u SAY when u feel suicidal and ask for help," the oft-troubled singer wrote. "And anyone who criticises u can f--- off so they can for themselves and is only afraid of their own 'madness.'"
The letter went live today (Sept. 17), three days after O'Connor took to Twitter to discuss a recent trip to the psychiatrist.
"She says I'm a bad mum and mental for talking so openly about sex in public," O'Connor tweeted, referring to another batch of recent missives. In a series of disturbing follow-up posts, she wrote that she wished "suicide wud kill me" and indicated she was tired of "being tread like a crazy person. Can't manage any more. Badly wish cud die without it ruining my kids' lives."
The following day, she reassured fans she was feeling better.
"Am fine," she tweeted. "All is well. Am sorry upset people. Better out than in."

Ms. O'Conner,
Somedays mornings can be hard to face. Sometimes that can seem like justice, if you feel you may have caused it in someone else. That is a very bad thing to ask of someone. Others very seldom see that someone else is so bad that something like this should be paid.
What is that? Most people have thought of it at sometime in their life. Life isn't that long, though. Occasionally that could be the best thing in a life struggle, then it would not be a sin. Still, sacrifice in a struggle drives suicide bombers, so sacrifice can be wrong if a struggle is wrong. I think it's possible that spiritual death might be chosen, but that's possibly a finality with only a lingering remorse that realizes no start back up. Believing in a spiritual continuation of some sort, I feel certain that I would not find it satisfying.
No mood for horror stories? Certainly I know that I was recently made lonely by a death in the family, and I know something like that would hurt a lot of people.
I hope that I have persuaded you against such thoughts. Hear a bit of confession? What if they had wanted that from you, saying jump when you weren't on a ledge? Diogenes, and don't jump, and could that make you bad? Would I serve God by letting them do that to me? But, and sometimes this is the difficult part, you can't let them do that to us, whoever those few we are. Pride can be a strength, but also a weakness in our defenses. It's better to be stronger than venial.
For what reason was there this persistence to bring about this wrong action in another? And strangely enough, it was eventually defeated, and all was restored as better than before, though there had been a long period of loss.
Did you ever do any of this to me? No, you are one of the few people who would not have participated in or encouraged the treating of someone like this. Because this is true, you should have no bad feelings. I wish you well.
I think she describes it perfectly. Although I wouldn't call suicide a "sin" (probably because I'm not Catholic), it still is like you killed everyone who loves you; if you are a parent your kids would be affected by it the most. I think she might have to change psychiatrists if the one she's seeing right now brought her to this by her criticism. I hope she finds inner peace.
