Every word she says about the psychiatric system in Ireland is true. I worked in the system for 22 years and witnessed everything she described. Very little therapeutic intervention and plenty of heavy drugs being prescribed to basically dumb people down. It's completely off balance, I'm not saying that all meds are bad but it's the generic diagnoses done way too quickly and no follow up therapeutic intervention. Please don't get me started on the adolescent mental health services. The more I listen to Sinead the more I admire her strength in getting through what she got through. She's speaking from experience here and is a wonderful advocate for service users. I don't know how she died but god bless her she had great strength and courage of her convictions. Her music was how she expressed herself the best. Forget about Nothing Compares to you. Take a listen to songs like 3 Babies for example or Moorlough Shore/ I believe in ypu/It's all good....to name but a few. Rest in peace warrior woman. ❤❤
I love Reason with Me .
It must have broken Sinead for her son Shane to die like he did , part of the mental health system Sinead was complaining broken-hearted after his death …. Her mini-me RIP SINEAD
* completely broken-hearted
❤
Appreciate your honesty, trying to come off very potent meds after twenty years it's a night mare somedays 💗
The system here is the medical model with labels and meds that keep people controlled and as objects. The psychological model is talking and giving meaning to the disturbance and is a different extensive training than the medics.
The birdsong is so beautiful in this clip.....almost like they're singing for her......a bird can sing with a broken wing but not with a broken heart! This quote always makes me think of her....and myself.....rip little one, your light was such a blessing in a dark world xxxx
The odd thing is that Sinead O'Conner always seems to be talking far more sense than almost every politician on the planet.
Indeed.
Very true 🙏
Unless she was talking about politics
This is such a sad scenario because Ruby came from a family which also sounds abusive, how ever I was brought up to believe my Daddy was abusing me ? But to be honest he supported me more than I realised and protected me so much more than ever my Mum ? ever did, but hey ho she was toooo busy trying to hide her affair which she was trying to grooming my siblings and I to accept ,so sorry Dad, too young and inexperienced to under stand what she doing xxx love you Daddy xxxx
Her intelligence and awareness is mesmerising. What she said about loneliness is so true and revealing.
Sinead is/was such a searingly intelligent woman. May she fly high in perfect peace
"I believe our birthright is joy" - Sinead O'Connor. The truth
She has no filter. That's how you know someone is genuine
Or mad 😂
@@Padraigp Go away!
@@HerriCaine 😆 You came over to me to tell me to go away....get a grip!
@@PadraigpShe tells a lot of the truth and suffered a lot for that very noble thing Be kind the girl has passed, may she Rest in Peace 🙏 Amen.
Or autistic or neurodivergent
6:25 'Anger is like a fist of tears, like a big ball of tears not cried.' Wow 💧
That perfect description really resonated with me….so true and spot on
I miss this inspirational woman , God bless her
words cannot describe how much i love her honesty and her insight. i used to think i just loved her music and her voice, but i am sure now that i admire her willingness to tell the truth about EVERYTHING no matter how it hurts or the consequences. i truly brave heart.
true, and she found the True religion too. and that is the real road to the real success and I wish her more success in this life and in the hereafter. she just is a True brave person, who can't take BS at all and she will let everyone know it with no fear. to me she is braver than many man who think or people think they are.
Same! I thought I loved her before!
❤
@@yearning4humbleness598 she was a Muslim
Agree…she was too aware for this world…so much information in her brain…you can be too smart, feel too much…know yourself too well and are unable to handle it….I feel that was her
It’s like humpty dumpty…the best minds couldn’t put her back together.
I can understand that life become too hard, sad and tragic as it is.
How many people would have gladly made her a cup of tea and given her a huge hug 😢
Think your comment has got to be the most sincere, thoughtful & nerve hitting I have read since Sinead started her new Journey 🙏🫂💖
@@loulou4148 blessings to you, empathy and unconditional love she is our sister and she's passed the torch on to us 💖🕊️🌼🙏
me
That just makes me cry. Your comment. So human. I wish someone was there for her. I’ll never forget her
@@Belfastboi blessings to you sister,she is always with us her amazing music a precious gift 🥰🌟🕊️🙏
She was an empath in a patriarchal theocracy raised by a malignant narcissistic mother. In the 60s and 70s, abuse was still considered to be a private sphere issue. Plus her parents divorced when she was 8 and her mother kept her Dad away. So she felt abandoned by her father which gave her abandonment issues, physically and emotionally abused by her mother and oppressed as an intelligent, well rounded female in Ireland. It’s amazing she lasted until 56. She was such a legend. ❤
her mother was an evil psycho
and Sinaed was sexually abused by the clergy...and the church generates abuse and all the addictions to cover the pain.
The institutions all harbour great cruel sickness....so women become wives and pregnant to men who think they are god.
Sickness of direction of spirit ..twisting peoples minds to deny healthy nature of happy life.
Sinead was onto all that.
She was beyond the facts of abuse...
She saw the connections severed by blindness of much psychiatry.
Take a listen to HG Tudors series on her. Quite beautiful and very thorough. He is, as always, teaching about narcissism (and psychopathy) and here he is looking into her personality, and the issues of the level of empathy. My conclusion would have been not an empath but a traumatized person affected with ptsd synptoms, with a capacity to care for her near and dear. Also a romantic rebellious truthteller/rebel. A lover of beauty and a bit of a depressive. All that on the margines though, under the main title: genious singer.
Well, divorce wasn’t legal until 1996 here, to be factual.
❤🙏
It breaks my heart to think that both Sinead and her son would both be alive today if the health system hadn't failed her. I hope they are both at peace now. ❤❤❤
Every single word she says makes total sense. She was failed by so many 😢 RIP Sinead 😢
She is so right about the stigma of mental illness in Ireland … the biggest insult you could give someone is to say you are mentally unwell! She is spot in here!
What a women...a true warrior
Rest now Sinead ❤️
Confused
I love the way Sinead was so much her authentic self! Basically she called a spade, a spade! No show, no glamour, just herself ❤
"SORE HEARTED PERSON "
"ANGER IS A FIST OF TEARS, made out of tears, a big ball of tears not cried"
She describes the experience of depression so vividly
And is so gallingly accurate about the flippant and wrong treatment in the mental health system
The tale of the doctors phone call is appalling and I can so believe and see it happening.
You do not mock the afflicted. You do not insult someone who is suffering. Everyone should be taught this.
This woman has fascinated the Hell out of me for going on thirty years now.
Such an intelligent and clear mind woman. Honest, direct. No words to describe her, I've been mourning her all these days, as if she was a relative or a close friend. She was not mad, just was never heard. People dont bother talking about mental illness, is just not important, well, she did. Apart from being so beautiful, so sweet and loving, she was also so brave and intelligent, so gifted. She really seems like an angel on earth, like a prophet, as others have said. Rest in power now, beautiful child ❤.
I don’t think Sinead was crazy, she was making perfect sense in this interview…I think she was a very passionate person who was in a perpetual discovery of her life. A lot of crap to maneuver through can make one’s life seem not normal and can derail but then she realizes that and she is very analytical and on point about a lot of things. And the most amazing thing is she is not lawsuit happy but rather understanding of these people’s flaws and she will tell the truth about it. She was a truth teller and a prophet. Her life was very relevant.
By saying she wasn't crazy, you're also opting into the idea that there are people who are crazy. When women have never been diagnosed the term 'crazy' which may have been used to describe them by others because there is so little understanding of women's mental health becomes a persistent psychic barb.
To be misdiagnosed and prescribed incorrect mediation for 8 years is unforgivable. Our psychiatric and other parts of our medical systems in Ireland are utterly broken 'dispensing arrogance masked as expertise'. So much sadness surrounds Sinead's passing, may she rest in peace, may her family, friends and fans find comfort in all she tried to shed light upon. Immense gratitude Sinead for your unbelievably incredible voice and songs............
I love Sinead and Ruby Wax. Been fans of both for nearly 40 years. Sinead was so ahead of her time and was like a canary in the cold mine with regards to all the flaws in Irish society. She spear headed conversations on abuses by the Catholic Church, child abuse and how mental health is viewed and treated by institutions, the media and the general public. She was brilliant. A fabulous musician and a gift to humanity. She will be sorely missed 💗 💔
Bloody hell….She was so spot on about the mass misdiagnosis of people, especially for women, when it comes to mental health issues!!!
In her book she specifically talks about the serious adverse affects of a hysterectomy that she had, supposedly to help with her endometriosis pain. This brought on early menopause symptoms like a tsunami. The peri/menopause years can be a real struggle for most women, and suicide in women rises during this period of time, with the average peak age around 51. I’m 51 this year….l can totally relate relate.
Many women suffer with these hormonal changes and there is is very little help or support or even understanding. Sinead mentions that she was sent home with some paracetamol after her surgery, and no follow up care, no HRT….
For women who are already carrying a weight on their shoulders, the menopause years can be the straw that breaks the camels back. It’s worth noting that women on the “high functioning” side of the autism spectrum are very vulnerable to suicidality and ideation. They are one of the most high risk groups, out of all groups, as their autism is often missed, or misdiagnosed with other disorders such as bi polar, BPD, schizophrenia etc…and they tend to be able to mask their symptoms and difficulties better than autistic males.
I’ve personally have often wondered if Sinead was on the autism (aka Asperger’s) spectrum. Having seen many interviews of her over the last 30 years with her quirkiness, shyness, intelligence, gender rebellion, high creativity, emotional struggles/dysregulation etc, also this almost obsessiveness with religions.
What I do know is CPTSD and autism symptoms can often look the same and have overlapping symptoms and there is a long dirty medical history of traumatised, abused, autistic women and girls being misdiagnosed and mistreated for bi polar, borderline personality disorder, schizophrenia…the list gives on. These have often been viewed and treated as stigmatising disorders in the medical world.
There are serious failings from what is often a misogynistic medical world that has largely ignored the female body and treated us like mini males, with most medical research revolving around the male body, despite the very obvious differences between the sexes, and we women pay a huge price for that
The band aid approach to dealing with mental health issues is never going to give people the support they truly need and a society that lacks true community, acceptance is going to keep on creating an environment that makes it difficult for us to not only survive but thrive.
Millions of middle aged women are suffering and most of society doesn’t care. We are the “hags”, the “Karen’s”, the “witches” who become invisible, and Sinead was one such woman who posted videos online crying out for help, to be seen, to be heard, to much fanfare and ridicule.
Once we are deemed unfuckable, we often become invisible, irrelevant, annoying, angry menopausal Karen’s. The way society treats older women is obviously going to play a huge role in their psyche, and whilst older women may embrace the freedoms of not being horribly objectified and sexualised, it would be nice if we could still be seen as worthy human beings who have something to add to society.
Childhood trauma can last a lifetime, and whilst we may have the energy and the anger in our youth to fight it, it often rears its ugly head in our later years and it gets harder to fight back especially when you are struggling with all that life throws at you and the physical toll of an ageing and body, broken heart and the roller coaster hormonal changes.
This woman was a Shero to me way back then, and still is to me now. Not because she was perfect, but because she was imperfect, flawed, raw, real with all the obvious amazing qualities and talent she had. She was shamefully treated, like a leper many times over through out her career, and when she needed help the most, when she was vulnerable and laid bare, it was tumbleweeds at dawn.
She faced the haters, the ridicule, the ostracism with bravery, truth, love and dignity. She was a warrior, she fought a lifetimes worth of demons….not demons in her head, but the very real ones that society throws at women like Sinead.
Let her death be a wake up call to a society that is failing our most vulnerable.
With mental health issues amongst children and teens teens skyrocketing in recent years, we need to face up to the fact that whatever we are doing, we are doing it wrong.
RIP Sinead. A Forever Rebel ❤
Thank you for every single word.
Exactly what I would like to have written but incapable.
I have been through such similar experiences and emotions as beloved Sinéad and you are spot on with every word you said, thank you for putting it so well.💟
Spot on. It must have been so draining for her to navigate this world being so misunderstood by those who simply were unable to understand. (Just the way she deflects some of the the stupid retorts from Ruby Wax is painful to observe.) No question her neurodivergence played a huge role in her perceptions, survival skills, and accentuated her profound talents.
Very well said ❤
Please write a book. You clearly have a talent in articulating all we feel but can’t put into words.
Sinead O"Connor you are such a brave woman. Great interview which focus on mental illness. A subject we should all be educated on! Thank you to these two women for bring this subject forward!!!
I love how Sinead ignores certain statements Ruby says.
She is so focussed she doesn’t even entertain the comments she doesn’t agree with. That is so powerful
Yeah Ruby really wasn’t on Sinead’s level.
i noticed the same thing
Me too.@@jillemery1594
So ahead of her time ..she just gets it all out .. and it's all TRUE !!! ❤️🙏
She was a Muslim
@@matimus100 and....
Sinead was so passionate, wise & vocal about so many issues of injustice. The press didn't know how to cope with that in a female artist & so they attacked.Bless you Sinead. xx
This interview exhibits nearly everything that's wrong with the medical and psychiatric fields. Ruby Wax keeps asking Sinead why she didn't tell her psychiatrist that diagnosed her as Bipolar that she wasn't Bipolar. She asks if Sinead's family ever told her she wasn't Bipolar. The issue here is... we go to doctor's not knowing what the hell is wrong with us. Family sure as hell can't make a diagnosis, and most often are the ones pushing us to seek help.
By visiting a doctor we're surrendering ourselves to their expertise in both diagnosis and treatment while most often taking for granted that all doctors are experts, and the entirety of medical academia has everything figured out. That's just not the case. When dealing with doctors we're dealing with people that may've dispassionately gotten into the field for reasons of money or family pressures. We're dealing with human beings that have their own pre-conceived judgements, ideals, projections, conformities to existing protocols, emotional and mental turmoil, etc. But we don't think about that. In fact, if we do think about that... we're most likely defined as "crazy" in terms of being paranoid or the like.
Maybe nothing is wrong with Sinead O'Connor. Maybe Sinead O'Conner's only problem is her inability to conform in an insane world that defines her as "crazy" for her inabiility to conform, and the resulting isolation depresses her as it would anyone. Beginning with her childhood in Ireland, she questioned the Catholic Church and was taught she was a "crazy" heretic. She's taught she's "crazy" in patriarchial society for being a woman that dares to think, express, and explore herself as an artist and a human being. Then, she jumped into the music industry, which is a circus of insanity in and of itself, and was taught she was "crazy" for not simply being yet another shallow, money and fame obsessed entertainer. With each effort she pursued, she's more and more isolated by those that march in step with whatever rules of conformity. So, she gets depressed. She goes and visits a psychiatrist who fails to see any of that. The psychiatrist has their own protocols and issues, makes false judgements as a result, and convinces Sinead she has a "disorder" and gives her a pill that does her more harm than good.
It's not Sinead that's fucked up. It's the world we're living in that is.
This situation and symptoms are the same all over the world, has nothing to do with Ireland or the Catholic Church !
aughalough1 but Ireland discriminates mental illness and I do think it stems from religion unfortunately
@@aughalough1 because shitty oppressive systems and trauma exist all over the world thats why !! Do you even know anything about how they diagnose these various so called mental illnesses..there isn't blood tests or brain scans you know,they just sit there and if you are lucky ask a few questions and then slp a label on you and give you meds.Trauma is universal and very very common
She was an old soul.
You are so right
Rest in peace Sinead you mattered and we love you
She was a Muslim
@@matimus100 and...
@@matimus100 and you are a bigot
I’m ashamed to say I thought she was mad , now I’ve heard her talk , she was anything but . That’s what the press did poor Sinead 😢 hope she’s at peace now ❤️
I could listen to her speak all day. And God love her, its so obvious she just wamted to be heard! She wanted someone to sit down and let her tell her story to them, uninterrupted, and just get it all out. And probably to be hugged afterwards, and told that she is normal, and that she is heard, seen, respected and loved 💔
Sinead always gives amazing interviews.
Absolutely love Ruby Wax, she brings out the best in every interview and gave Sinead serious space to get across some serious issues!
I have great respect for Sinead, who is telling the story of her life as a person with depression. I can relate entirely as a person with MDD (Major Depressive Disorder). As a health care professional as well, I know she is right on! My empathy & prayers are with her. I am impressed she is as high functioning as she is. Depression can make one inert & simply follow directions without believing in oneself. Too bad Ireland is so behind the literature in terms of mental illness (admittedly according to Sinead). Kudos to this incredible person!
+Colleen Meegan I totally agree with you - and as fate would have it - it's very interesting that i would come across this interview today. A friend of mine (actually quite a few) say i'm "kindred' with Sinead - - -which i take as a high compliment - I responded to that with a song - and found this. I am also a counsellor (but now retired) and am "deemed" permanently disabled due to severe anxiety; PTSD; and a myo-pain condition. I work very hard with myself - and never had any good doctors until 10 years ago. My doctor got sick and I couldn't see him for a year. I finally quit smoking - and "everything is opened up" - which is difficult - but also good. As fate would have it my doctor contacted me today - and is back - and i have an appointment set up. This doctor IS a specialist in child abuse, PTSD, trauma recovery and is amazing. A lot of what Sinead says here is Very right on about mis-diagnosing; and the differences between real illness to be treated and spiritual well being. For those that are "put off or such about her comments about Ireland" = I can tell you that i have a friend from Ireland - who found it very hard; needed help and chose to move to London and put himself in hospital to get well. I have always thought she is incredibly brave - I admire her honesty immensely!
I could listen to Sinead talk all day. x
Except not this interviewer. She’s like getting stuck at Thanksgiving with your auntie that can’t decide if she wants to compliment you or remind you what you should have done in your life.
She loved hearing her own voice...... She didn't always speak the truth...
@@elizabethwallace-donnelly.2356fool comment
@@elizabethwallace-donnelly.2356Sinead had a lot going on in her that she needed to express. She spoke what was true for her. I am not sure what more you expected of her. That she thought and believed exactly as you? No two people do that.
The hole in the soul is vast - we just just lost a voice of true wisdom that is so needed on the planet
What an amazing woman. I find myself in this rabbit hole after artists die and appreciate them more. Sinead was probably the most misunderstood of them all. Rest In Power Queen ❤
I feel so sad that she's gone. She seems like she so truthful, genuine and wears her heart on her sleeve.
I have seen many videos and appears to me her parents weren't there to guide her or love her support her 😢❤RIP. We have truly lost a talented artist
Her parents or rather her mother was the cause of her mental health condition C-ptsd
‘I think it’s a mistake we all live in houses, there’s such loneliness’ …she’s not wrong!
We need more real ‘community’
Inter generational families used to live together in previous generations and many cultures still do live like that.
This is a really underrated important discussion/interview. Such clear and strong voices. And to this day Sinead is still made to suffer because of prejudice. Oh how people like to flagellate and worship people at the same time, the hypocrisy. I wish they could have another discussion like this now.
I'll tell you one thing that's really important in regard to Sinéad. This is what she wanted the most. I mean all these comments. She wanted a dialogue to bring about change. If we keep talking then Sinéad's memory and goals stay alive. It's what she wanted her whole career.
Agree, we all have a Sinead within and she was our voice while here. Now, we must carry the torch 🙏
How brave and strong, and honest Sinead are, respect and love ever❤
Our Grace O'Malley
They certainly broke the mold with Sinead. She swam against the current, and apposed the norms, especially the establishment. She was a truth speaker....and was punished heavily for it. She was a woman in a country with alot of prejudices and stigmas, and she spoke out about them and defied them....and was almost burned at the stake for her strong Souls mission. As most strong women throughout the ages...she was feared by the mysogonistic elites, and therefore branded as the 'crazy', 'uncontrollable' woman....who needs to be punished, not heard. She was born in the Year of the Fire Horse....who are rebels at the very least....and Revolutionaries. They shake up the status quo. But...she was also a small, scared child, begging for love and compassion.....she had a huge Mother wound. She held up the Mirror to us all to heal our Shadow selves. Thankyou Sinead for being a empathic healer who challenged us to break the cycle of generational curses.....RIP. find the peace that you deserve....
Bloody hell, Ruby Wax is three steps behind everything Sinead O'Connor was saying. And she has an MA in psychology from Oxford. Bizarre as she seems utterly clueless about many MH issues.
it seems that way but sinead is just spewing cathartically im not even sure if lydia lunch could keep up. i don't mean spewing negatively but she obviously needed to talk she also alludes to uncertainty of friends because she's so famous its an amazing footage that's so important for sure
This was a brilliant interview.
R.I.P. Sinead 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Muslim she was
She told the truth, and some people Don't like the truth. Her struggles are now over May she Rest in Peace she left her legacy of telling the truth giving others food for thought
She was bang on about loneliness.
When will people realise that ‘depression’, anxiety and panic attacks are very normal emotions and valid responses to whatever is going on in the persons life, or has gone on in the past.
Gosh, her honesty and wisdom were boundless. Sorely missed ❤❤ The psychiatrist who diagnosed Sinéad with bipolar disorder should go to prison and be never allowed to practise medicine or allowed anywhere near vulnerable people
Neither should Judges/the police. Its a messed up world. It is like the 15th century. Your Honour/Worshipful.
Thanks for posting this. Very enlightening interview. I learned a lot. God Bless Sinead. What a lovely, open person, She teaches us a lot from her open spirit and also her wonderful and heartfelt music.
Every word she speaks is so honest and true ❤
Always loved her... she speaks from the heart and so much sense. I had a traumatic abusive childhood too and have CPTSD and BPD (borderline personality disorder) her take on mental health is so real.
Sinead may have PTSD because of how she was treated by society. "Nothing compares to you". "Nothing compares"..."to you". You're beautiful.
This interview is pure gold ❤
Its 2023 and Ireland has not changed much since this interview was made. RIP Sinead.
And it never will change, its the people they need to wake up
the Celts will not heal unless every person starts to communicate about their trauma
SADLY NO ONE SAID SHE WAS AN ABSOLUTE GENIUS.........
Her soul deserves a front row seat ❤
My God.... She is so loveable!!! Maybe in thinking of her and her pain we are releasing some of those prisoned tears for her... Hoping she truly rests in peace wherever she may be ❤
So sad to lose Sinead - such a brilliant talent and what a beautiful lady and soul!! She had to work so hard to heal from her traumatic abuse as a child - really up against it, with the attitudes towards mental illness and a mis-diagnosis. She deserved such a happy life - so tragic to lose her beloved son. 💔
This lady sinead has got more sence in her little finger than most physiatrist every thing in this video she says is 100 percent truth .I only wish I'd of met her I have cptsd. Bipolar 2. Panic attacks. ADHD. We are never listened to sinead
You are great rip sweet heart im so sad you have left us in july 2023 .
Listening to Sinead speak, I realise how incredibly articulate and intelligent she was. It was so sad that she suffered so much with her mental health and that there was relief for her till the end. A very sad loss to everyone.
Thank you Sinead O' Connor...You made some really important and pertinent ways the public perceive mental illness!!...
This interview should be brought into schools as A teaching aid...
Stay strong Sinead...!!
All you need is a hug, a bit of tenderness. Exactly
Love this woman so much. wouldnt it be great If all people who think like this woman could unit because they'd all be best friend and make this whole entire earth liveable. One love🌎🙏🙏
Im one of them.
Your sadley missed sineade sending love were ever you are. Whith shane rip
Sing with all the angels xxx
i've watched this 3 times! Sinead's a legend!
ive never seen ruby talk so little
Mental health is a real issue. They locked my mother away for 40+ years with a diagnosis of mania. They then subjected her to horrendous treatments. She had her children removed and that sent her barmy. I have watched my siblings descend into insanity. I personally think the endocrine system is the real reason many women suffer mental health.
A Delaney 💗's for you
Me too. Grave's disease after menopause almost killed me. My hormonal system caused psychosis and m9od swings. I'm fortunate to be alive. In recovery.
😕
200%
Bless her, if you haven't been well parented it's a bad idea to have too many children. Having a baby opens the blocked heart chakra and can bring on post natal depression. Sadly we've had men in charge of womans well being for too long. They don't have babies and they seldom raise children, that doesn't stop them lecturing woman..RIP Sinèad❤
Good on her for speaking out she's very intelligent woman and very true to what she believes in she said what a lot of ppl are to scared to say appalling how this woman has been treat all her life so so sad rest in peace Sinead bk with Ur son you were and are loved so much by ppl all over world ✨🌹
What a great interview.
I am impressed that Ruby Wax let’s her speak. She usually has to dominate conversation. Especially since Sinéad is saying kind of the opposite of what she believes about ‘mental illness’, that it is brain related, and requires medication.
She doesn't really have a choice 😅
@@CR-yn5sy Why should she? Her contributions are mostly supercilious. At some point when Sinéad said she had to become stronger to stand up to the doctors, Ruby said “like Hitler” - well, just think about it.
I appreciated Sinead's subtle but direct "Well I was getting to that" after the umpteenth interruption.
@@RB-xj9kr Ruby is still a very peripheral person and has only one point of view and that is hers! All her years in the media have taught her nothing, Ah, that ego, needs some work, Ruby.
You were so right Sinead, RIP x
She was a Muslim not Christian
What an honest soul. Such a sad loss. ❤️
GYPSY ROSE creator is STILL very sad for days😪
Playing my Sinnead O'Connor's original vinyls I bought decades ago...utube her all the while....my family genes on my fathers side is clan Irish "O'Connor" who were the ancient high kings of the Isle of Eire🍀 (Ireland) ...we both stem from this original clan....
Gone but never forgotten💞, she spoke her truth ...alot folk usually hold back on speaking❗️
..she was ready for awhile now to cross over to the land of the fae🧚♀️
She will now sing💫 dance💃 and celebrate once more🌙...Our beautiful Isle of Eire will take you back home over the sea in spirit ✨️long live her memory 🇮🇪and music 🎵for generations to come...🍀your music taught me to speak my mind, be myself, never shy away from my beliefs and dont change my characteristics from birth no matter who ridicules me👩🦰

You could teach doctors a few things , Amazing woman
I feel like ive lost a very special friend, i think we all can relate to you ,if we could admit it like you could ,i think you went with a broken heart, now its fixed
Rest in peace with mammy and shane ❤
She was a Muslim
Not with her Mother who was her Maternal child abuser. I don't know if her Mother gets to rest with her after that.
Wow this is compelling. She was so ahead of us, only now the C word is being retired. Misdiagnosed for 8 years it would break your heart.
Blessed are the cracked, as they let in the light 🙏💗🕊️
Nice one, Michellejuretic7442!
She was a Muslim
RIP Sinead you spoke so much truth. And l can relate to so much to want you said. And child abuse has such a long term effect. It does stay with you forever. 🙏💔
When you’ve been traumatised as a child by your own parents you can be left with complex post traumatic stress disorder and it’s a lifetimes work managing that in my own experience. It’s only now that complex ptsd is being understood fully and it’s not recognised in the British DSM yet. (Last time I looked anyway.) my heart went out to her because everyone’s appalled by child abuse but then you’re often called mad, bad or difficult as an adult because of how you struggle in adulthood with those wounds. We are often brave and compassionate souls who don’t want to see anyone hurt because we know what impact that has short and long term.
I'm so sorry 💐
but she makes alot of sense xx very intelligent girl x
Sinead was way ahead of the game ...even Ruby didn't totally get what she was saying about mental health mis-labelling and the need to understand so-called symptoms in light of one's personal story.
Labels are more dangerous than loaded weapons. Brave girl Sinead. We have a Lot in common and ruby you have taught me SO much about neuroscience, I've been reading my head off. If by miracle either of you read this...go sisters, spread more hope and love. It's all we have..
This interview from Sinead, really touched me , it broke me heart . I had no idea Ireland was so backwards in The health service. It very interesting, but awfully sad , what Sinead has been through. She is highly intelligent, and Speaks with great Truth and. Cleverness. Allah with her . Goodnight sweet lady. 😪😪❤️❤️🌻🌠🍃
I can so relate you your Story, you had an awakening. People who start healing ptsd have all These Symptoms when they start healing. I had them all, but I never went to a doctor; I knew it was part of the healing of years of grief and unexpressed Anger! I had similar Symptoms, the Tears, then Panic attacts, but I never took meds, I saw it as spiritual process and the Trauma has finally left my Body. This Woman is so wise and deeply spiritual, Always was attracted to her Music.
sinead is 'on point' as usual..her intelligence and no filter attracted too many bullies - warning: be careful trusting professional mental health buffoons: she knew about the church before it 'blew up' - she is totally right about the loneliness epidemic: rip - now she has peace❤
I learned SO much from this Ruby Wax interview of SINEAD. A wonderfully informative conversation.
SINEAD O'CONNOR sensed she'd been misdiagnosed, and kept looking for the appropriate help.
Does anyone see/hear an insane woman here?
This is the BEST interview with SINEAD I've seen.
Damn it, i STILL CAN'T CRY since i heard of her falling asleep. But after THIS interview, i understand why. I'm working on a song about my Sister.
Is there a clearer version of this it’s fascinating. I’m watching this on the day of sinéads funeral. I wish I could go back in time and knock on her door. All the outpouring of love now and yet just a few weeks ago she was alone and lonely in London. Can’t bear it.
Ditto🙏
Thankyou for posting this Totally Insightful interview. Sinead is an Incredibly Bright Spark that many were Triggered by . Enjoy Continuing Creating Magic xx
This is such a great interview ....no judgment ..just speaking and listening .....
"Could not afford to be a poppy in a tsunami. . . . But then I realised I am a poppy"
Oh that makes sense I thought she was saying puppy
both my parents were diagnosed with some form of mental illness. and i also worked as a carer for people with mental illness, and it is a topic i have been interested in, so have researched quite a lot. i was lucky enough never to have been diagnosed, but i think that is partly because i refused. i did not trust or believe the doctors. although i had some symptoms, at various stages in my life, i do think they were not as bad as some people, and not as prolonged, but it allowed me to have great sympathy, some understanding, compassion, and interest for people who suffer more. i do think society makes it worse. it doesnt allow you to go through the pain you ned to go through. i do also know that about 90 percent of people with mental illness, if not all were abused in some way in their childhood. there is very definitely a link there. society treats mental illness terribly. makes you feel worse, so its a downward spiral. instead of just allowing to pass. there is an amazing place in myanmar called thabarwa, it is actually a meditation center, or monastary, but they also give a home to the sick, old, and anyone that needs help. including so caled crazy people. there they dont make a big fuss, they just allow them to be. get them to meditate if they can. teach them about the dhamma, their philosophy, and then it seems to get better by itself. they also encourage people to do good deeds and acts of kindness and generosity, they believe that if you do good deeds, then you improve your karma, and all your roubles seem to just work out. its is a real healing, where you dont need medication, which is just a plaster. it is true unconditional love, just allows you to be what you are, knowing that you are always changing. i also feel like i am living many life times in this one lifetime. i have felt true deep healing that has come sometimes after hard times. bless to you all who suffer any form of mental illness, i know the way society judges you is possibly the worst. and maybe how you judge yourself. be kind to yourselves you are just human, beautiful souls. allow yourselves what you need to go through. it will all pass.
Love Sinead.... so open, honest, and helpful.
Confused
Everything she speaks about system re mental illness in Ireland is so true. Women pumped full of drugs for 30 years without any review of prescription . All about greedy doctors money money money. Rest in Peace darling Sinead you did more for Eire and way ahead of your time. Thank you and may you Rest in well deserved peace after such a huge contribution to humanity. A legend xx
I came across this interview by accident. Maybe it was meant to be ?.and teach me along my way to be wary and examine so called medics. May you be happy in spirit under Gods Protection now.
She was way ahead of her time with her thinking.👏👏👏👍
I've been living in Ireland for 9 years now and I can't get over how few questions the Irish ask, how they agree to everything that a doctor, electrician, veterinarian, clerk or institution proposes. I don't know if it's insufficient education or national character or trauma. I don't know, but it's scary.
Whisht
She has talked about how Ireland is like a child, maybe in the famine lyrics.
Bk in the day, up to the 80s, the priest, the doctor, the teacher/ master were held in high esteem, their word held weight.
As in a priest could visit a married couple and enquire as to why they didn't have a child yet. Or visit a widower and offer to take the children into an orphanage. Or the threat of say, Ballinasloe , Loughrea etc the name alone would send a shiver ( threat of asylum/ workhouse)
We won the war of Independence but it was a black hole we fell into as we replaced the Brits with the CChurch for some decades , I imagine we're suffering from trauma that we're only beginning to acknowledge, epigenetic sh*t
@@siogbeagbideach Thank you very much for the clarifications. I know the history of Ireland, which is similar to our Polish one. We were under German and Russian rule for over 200 years. It worked differently for us. This has turned us into rebels who have a habit of defying governments and institutions that is still visible today, 100 years after independence. We are left with this suspicion and rebelliousness. Thank you again. I highly value the opinion of a native Irishman.
@@siogbeagbideachI hear you. My husband is irish and same era as Sinead. He's told me similar stories. His mam suffered with severe mental illness and he is also very affected. Victims of victims. How I would have loved to sit down and talk with Sinead about the whole subject, incredible woman ❤❤
So misunderstood for just being a loud mouth I guess myself included at some point,I would like to apologise to you sinead it saddens me to hear of your life and struggles,you speak the truth have spoke the truth,society does not like that as you’ve experienced,I love listening to all you have to say so never shut up 🤐 god bless you,you are a strong and great woman 💞💞💞💞💞
She was so real, and honest.
Anger is a fist of tears ...
I bet Ruby understands she is so special and so clever ..all the best Sinead x
