Near the end of her run on Britain’s Got Talent, Susan Boyle lost it. She flipped out at people on the street and ended up in a hospital.

Now, as her debut CD breaks records and the singer is on the verge of global success, sources fear another breakdown for a woman that’s never been anywhere near the spotlight before.

Great Britain’s The Daily Mirror quotes neighbors of Boyle that say that she’s been speaking in a strange American accent; complaining that her cat doesn’t love her anymore; and blasting single from her CD around the clock.

“We’ve seen two ambulances and a doctor come to her house. Susan had told me she had been feeling pains in her stomach,” neighbor Teresa Miller told the newspaper.

Over the weekend, Boyle said she was doing “very well;” but witnesses claim she burst into tears in New York – after performing on The Today Show, seen below – as the pressures of celebrity grew more intense.

Try to take it easy, SuBo. Your career is just taking off and we’d hate to see you become an older version of Britney Spears.
