O’Connor said she has wanted to kill herself for the past two years and only her doctor and psychiatrist were “keeping her alive.” “You’ve seen her video she’s posted on Facebook and all, from motel rooms in NJ,” McGraw told Kimmel’s audience. “She really has had a difficult time, and she said, ‘Look, I’m in trouble.

I want to use my life, be a teaching tool. I’m willing to sit down and talk…’ I was pleased because I’m a great fan of hers.”On Monday, O’Connor claimed a centre to which Dr. Phil had referred her was not monitoring suicidal patients.
