Sinead O'Connor quotes about
sadness fifteen seven
It's been seven hours and fifteen days, since you took your love away.
purpose realizing hard
It's so hard to retain what your purpose is - or to even realize what it is.
consequence
It's OK to assert yourself. Obviously, as a woman, I do experience the consequence of asserting yourself - you're not supposed to assert yourself.
acceptance catholic church
If there was acceptance of the mentally ill in the Catholic Church, the entire Curia would resign!
pain thinking hard-times
When you have mental illness you don't have a plaster or a cast or a crutch, that let everyone know that you have the illness, so people expect the same of you as from anyone else and when you are different they give you a hard time and they think you're being difficult or they think you're being a pain in the ass and they're horrible to you. You spend your life in Ireland trying to hide that you have a mental illness.
doctors england cases
Unfortunately in my case, because of what I do for living, here in Ireland is very hard for me to find a doctor who can just deal with me as a person, that can get beyond Sinead O'Connor. I had to go to England to find a psychiatrist for my case.
way feels contributors
I feel that I was a useful contributor to society, and that I couldn't be a contributor to society in any other way.
pain self-esteem people
You have to hide what you are and it's really stressful and very bad for your self esteem. Because it's not obvious to people that you are ill, they treat you as if you're a pain in the ass, then you beat yourself up and you are already beating yourself up as a part of mental illness.
self-esteem thinking people
I think people who come from abuse and/or people who have mental illnesses, have terrible self-esteem problems.
spiritual thinking comforting
I think in the first place hearing the music inside of you is very soothing, very comforting. For me there always been, if you like, a spiritual connection between myself and music.
abuse chance grew
I grew up in a situation of extreme abuse, but there was no chance to talk about it, so music became the escape if you like.
stress thinking stuff
I have also Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and I wouldn't have survived that if not for music. So I think for me, music was a soothing thing and it was also a place where you could say all the stuff that you couldn't say anywhere else.
jesus believe thinking
This is how you know religion is failing because people think you're bonkers if you believe in God and also because it's so uncool believing in Jesus and everything.
going-away wish love-someone
If you really ever love someone, that doesn't go away, although you wish it would.
