Susan Boyle Talks Breakdown

Once she got her break on Britain’s Got Talent, Susan Boyle had no idea that it would lead to a breakdown. After going into a clinic to fight stress and anxiety, the singer is finally talking about what drove her over the edge. Susan said “There were phone calls 24 hours a day. They kept me awake for three weeks, until I changed my number. It was constant. There were a lot of press people outside my door, a lot of television people, a lot of people who wanted a piece of me. It got to the stage where I couldn’t even go outside because the media — American television crews, too — surrounded the house. It was like being inside a giant pressure cooker, where the lid bubbles up and bubbles up and soon the pressure cooker goes. Everything had built up, and I was exhausted. You have to understand, my life ceased to be normal.”
