Facebook. "…After everything I've been put through and been forced to go through alone . And punished for having to go through since I had the surgery on August 26th. … The last two nights finished me off. I have taken an overdose. There is no other way to get respect. I am not at home, I'm at a hotel, somewhere in Ireland, under another name."
