COURTNEY LOVE - LOVE: 'I HAD A MINI DEPRESSION ATTACK'

LOVE: 'I HAD A MINI DEPRESSION ATTACK'

COURTNEY LOVE has denied reports she is suicidal - but admits to suffering bouts of depression.
The former Hole singer wrote 60 posts on her personal MySpace page on Sunday (16Nov08), many of which were incoherent - and one that stated the star was feeling suicidal, according to celebrity website PerezHilton.com.
Love has retracted the statement - but reveals she does battle depression.
She writes on her blog, "…No I am not suicidal, occasionally very occasioanly (sic) like all of us I get depressed, and that was over a year ago and I had a mini little depression attack well (a) big one... I dont know quite why it happened but I find that mediciation (sic) is not the answer to this."
And the singer, who recommended yoga, a good diet and Kombucha tea as effective ways to ward off the blues in her posting, is worried about the affect the reports are having on her 16-year-old daughter, Frances Bean Cobain.
She adds, "PLEASE leave my kid out of it, when I make a technical booboo or get a little whacky when she's at a movie, (it's) my problem… Basically I'm off blogging because you've upset my kid and embarrassed her and so have I. So (I've) apoligised (sic) to her I hope you will too."
