O'Connor, who topped the charts around the world 25 years ago
with a cover of Prince's song "Nothing Compares 2 U", posted the
message on her officially verified Facebook account while she
said she was in a hotel in Ireland under another name.
"I have taken an overdose. There is no other way to get
respect," the post read.
"If I wasn't posting this, my kids and family wouldn't even find
out. I'm such a rotten horrible mother and Person, that I've
been alone. Howling crying for weeks. I'm invisible. I don't
matter a shred to anyone."
A spokeswoman for O'Connor said they had no comment to make at
the moment. Quoting Irish police, the Irish Examiner newspapers
said O'Connor had been located "safe and sound" and is receiving
medical assistance.
A spokesman for the Irish police said they cannot comment on
individual cases.
O'Connor, who once famously tore up a picture of Pope John Paul
II on the "Saturday Night Live" television show, declaring
"Fight the real enemy!", canceled her most recent tour in July
due to illness.
