Sinead O’Connor’s Facebook page has now been reactivated after it was deleted this past Wednesday (Nov. 2) following a series of suicidal posts by the singer and musician. The new posts are surprisingly upbeat considering what the public had been reading before.
Yesterday O’Connor wrote, “I will rise, and I will return; the Phoenix from the flame. I have learned,” as well as sharing her music video for “Troy” from her 1987 debut, The Lions and the Cobra, released in 1987.
Thus far, her uplifting status has been shared on the social media outlet 800 times and garnered upwards of 1,500 messages, as well as over 9,000 likes. Judging by the positive status, one would assume that O’Connor is on the mend, after claiming that she was in the hospital under an assumed name and posting statuses that seemed dangerously suicidal. Fortunately, after posting what was suspected to be a suicide note, police located O’Connor in time to save her life. A source informed Billboard that she was "safe" a few hours after the event.
The singer had been using the social media site as a way to lash out at her family. According to People, this past Tuesday (Dec. 1), the singer wrote a post that begged her children Jake Reynolds, 28, and Roison Waters, 19, to see her at the hospital again after they supposedly left after visiting their mother when she was on life support.
“You haven’t been back. Please why are you doing these things to me??” She wrote on her wall. “I need you. I need your love. I can’t manage anything that’s being done to me. I didn’t do anything to deserve the way I’m being treated.” The post has since been deleted.
She further wrote, “To hear that you were here and left was agony. Now I am utterly alone. Please. Please love me. Please come to the hospital and spend time with me and help fix all this. Please. I’m. Begging you.”
While the majority of statuses where O’Connor lashes out at her family members as well as detailing her depression and overdose, one remains from Nov. 28 where she requests that she can obtain a vicious family lawyer.
