Sinead O’Connor’s Mental Health Struggles Revealed in Devastating Facebook Video

Singer Sinead O’Connor, who has been vocal about mental illness in the past, posted a desperate video to Facebook on Thursday about her situation. She’s living in a motel in New Jersey and staying alive for the sake of others, she said. The video was hashtagged #OneOfMillions.

“I’m now living in a Travelodge hotel in the arse end of New Jersey. I’m all by myself and there’s absolutely nobody in my life except my doctor, my psychiatrist — the sweetest man on Earth who says I’m his hero. That’s about the only thing keeping me alive at the moment. The fact that I’m his bloody hero. And that’s kind of pathetic.”

She added: “I’m fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting like all the millions and millions that I know I’m one of to stay alive every day.”

The AP reports:

South Hackensack Police Capt. Robert Kaiser said Tuesday that officers conducted a welfare check, but O’Connor wasn’t in her room at the time. He said she is no longer staying there and police don’t know where she is currently living. An email sent to her agent wasn’t immediately returned.

A Facebook post on Monday from an unknown person said the singer was safe and not suicidal.

In O’Connor’s video, she spoke about the devastating effect mental illness and its stigma has had on her:

“Mental illness is a bit like drugs. It doesn’t give a sh*t who you are. Equally you know what’s worse is the stigma who doesn’t give a sh*t who you are. All the people who are supposed to be loving you and taking care of you are treating you like sh*t…I’m fighting like all the millions I know to stay alive everyday which I’m doing because I love the people that are doing this to me. I’m not staying alive for me. If it was me I’d be gone straight away back to my mom because I walked this Earth alone for two years as punishment for being mentally f**king ill and being angry that nobody would f**king take care of me, specifically for being suicidal.”

O’Connor made national headlines in May 2016 after going missing on a bike ride, and in November 2015 was given medical assistance after posting on Facebook that she had taken an overdose.

Elders React to the Gay Viral Short ‘In a Heartbeat’ — WATCH

The animated short film In a Heartbeat has been viewed nearly 22 million times in its first week online, and the well-known FBE “React” YouTube series has posted a touching clip of elders reacting to the gay romance.

Writes FBE:

We see many asking, “Why Elders for this episode?” Couple reasons. Reality is the Elders were the ones filming this week, so once we saw an overwhelming amount of you suggesting it, the Elders were the ones to do it with to cover it as fast as we could for you all. Doesn’t mean we won’t do it with another generation if there is want of it over time! Also, Elders can give us all a interesting perspective on this type of short since it would not even be possible earlier in their lifetime, and that is a compelling reaction and conversation to watch.

Will kids be up next? Given the popularity of this clip you can probably count on it.

Seth Meyers Examines the Fake News of Trump’s ‘Working Vacation’ — WATCH

The late night hosts ruthlessly mocked Trump’s “working vacation” last night and Seth Meyers was no exception, starting with Trump’s tweet declaring his vacation “not a vacation.”

Working in Bedminster, N.J., as long planned construction is being done at the White House. This is not a vacation – meetings and calls!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 5, 2017

“‘Meetings and calls’ sounds like how an eight-year-old would describe an adult job.”

Meyers then mocked a video that showed up online of Trump leaping from a golf cart to accost a wedding party at his Bedminster golf club.

“First of all, what are you wearing? You’re the president. Not a hungover cruise director. Second, is there anything scarier than Trump walking into your wedding and going ‘where’s the bride?’ Followed by ‘come on!’”

Meyers then played a series of clips of Trump attacking Obama for being on the golf course too much.

Said Meyers: “To be clear I’m not criticizing Trump for taking vacations. I’m criticizing him for being a lying hypocrite!”

Meyers then asked what Trump has done to deserve a vacation, and turned to the “Real News” propaganda videos starring Kayleigh McEnany that he has started to put out online to show Americans everything that he has done.

Quipped Meyers: “God, that was like state news crossed with a school announcement. ‘It’s pizza day in the school cafeteria but you won’t hear that from the failing New York Times!’”

Finally, Meyers noted that Trumpworld seems to be trying to find an enemy to focus on to turn the base’s eyes away from the Russia investigation, before playing a montage of FOX News clips which feature a different reality, one in which it appears Hillary Clinton is president:

“What’s becoming clear is that Trump and his allies have no record of their own to champion, so instead they need a villain, and they’ve decided they’d rather live in a world where Hillary Clinton was president rather than Donald Trump.”
