O'RIORDAN'S: 'BAND'S SUCCESS CAUSED MY BREAKDOWN'

The CRANBERRIES star DOLORES O'RIORDAN suffered a nervous breakdown and anorexia because the band was so successful. The singer says she couldn't eat or sleep when the Irish rockers reached the height of fame more than a decade ago. She says, "I honestly think that it was beyond anorexia - it was bigger than that. I was having a nervous breakdown. Losing lots of weight. "I wasn't sleeping, I couldn't eat. I was suffering an awful lot from out-of-control anxiety attacks. I just couldn't control my motor skills - I was panicking too much to move my limbs. "So I went to see the psychiatrist and he just said it was too much stress." O'Riordan left the band after suffering a breakdown in 2003.
