Courtney Love has blasted reports that she is suicidal, saying she suffered from depression more than a year ago.

The former Hole singer wrote on her MySpace blog: "I am not suicidal, occasionally very occasionally like all of us I get depressed, and that was over a year ago and I had a mini little depression attack - well big one.

"I don't know quite why it happened but I find that medication is not the answer to this, working out and doing daimoku [chanting] is, as is yoga and eating correctly and I want some more high country Kombucha tea - I think that stuff is miraculous for glow and health. Those things work far better than this chemical culture of numbing our rage and numbing our pains and demons."

As well as its use for setting the record straight, Love recently utilised her MySpace page to advertise for a new personal assistant. She wrote: "I know this is weird [but] the agencies suck and I'm sick of pigs who steal. It's as simple as that, so f**k it - why not try MySpace? Beats Monster."
