Rosie O'Donnell's estranged wife Michelle Rounds is finally getting her life back to normal following a suicide attempt on Tuesday night.

The 43-year-old corporate headhunter treated herself to a manicure and then enjoyed a meal of burger and fries in her hometown of Nyack, in New York State.

Rounds, who was casual in a white and gray t-shirt, was seen enjoying the autumn sunshine and peering into shop windows along Main Street in the town after arriving in her Chevy Tahoe.

Company: Rounds was joined by a female friend, who later took a seat beside her at lunch

First she visited Grace Nails to have a clear lacquer painted onto her finger nails. Then she went to Temptations restaurant with a friend, sitting outside in the courtyard dining area.

She spent much of the time making and taking telephone calls and one stage left her friend alone for 15 minutes as she spoke into her mobile.

When Daily Mail Online wished her a speedy recovery as she got up to leave she said: 'Thank you. But I will never, ever give an interview.'

Friends said she was doing 'pretty good' after she was rushed to hospital on Tuesday night from a suspected pills and booze overdose.

Her ex-love O'Donnell, 53, is reported to have been her savior after keeping her on the telephone long enough for medics and police to get to her.

TMZ reported that O'Donnell had tried to talk Rounds out of her plan and when she realized that she was going through with it, had someone else make a 911 call while she stayed on the phone with her former wife.

The celebrity asked a friend to telephone 911 while she kept a distraught Rounds talking.

O'Donnell lives a five minute drive from her ex-love's house, which is close to the Hudson River.

But police went to the nearby Hilton Double Tree Hotel, forced open her bedroom door and medics rushed her to hospital where she was detained overnight.

DailyMail.com revealed that Ms Rounds has lost a custody battle with the TV star over their two-year-old adopted daughter Dakota.

The parents have been involved in a bitter court room struggle for the child since they split after a marriage which lasted two years.

Ms Rounds' agony has been deepened by the fact that her ex-wife has been seen stepping out with her new love Tatum O'Neil.

Sources said Rounds was keen on renewing her relationship with her love split partner and had been upset by her new relationship.

News of Ms O'Donnell's new relationship, and photographs of her relaxing in Florida with Ms O'Neill, were exclusively revealed by DailyMail.com two weeks ago.

Meanwhile O'Donnell's adopted daughter has moved in with her boyfriend and his family after leaving her mother's home last month.

Chelsea O'Donnell was photographed with her convicted heroin dealer boyfriend Steven Sheerer on September 16 heading into a 7-Eleven convenience store in Barnegat Township, New Jersey.

The 18-year-old was spotted earlier in the day as she ran errands with her boyfriend's mother, and then waiting in the driveway for her 25-year-old beau to return home from work while smoking a cigarette.

Chelsea left her mother's home in August just days after turning 18, and shortly after he mother reported her missing when she went to stay with Sheerer in New Jersey.

Rosie claimed at the time that Chelsea suffered from mental illness.

Troubled: Sheerer was convicted of possessing controlled dangerous substances and child endangerment after a 2013 incident in which he was arrested with heroin and marijuana while in a car with a woman and her two children (mugshot left)

Chelsea was gone for eight days before authorities found her with Sheerer, who was convicted of possessing controlled dangerous substances and child endangerment after a 2013 incident in which he was arrested with heroin and marijuana while in a car with a woman and her two children, aged one and three.

Chelsea was discovered hiding in Sheerer's attic with her dog Bear when police arrived on the scene, and willingly went with them.

Sheerer was charged with third degree endangering a child and third degree distribution of obscenity to a minor. Those charges each carry a jail term of up to five years, and his bail was set at $40,000 - with the judge also ordering he have no contact with the O'Donnell family.

The distribution of obscenity charge was the result of a nude photo Sheerer had sent Chelsea, then 17, on the dating app Tindr.

The charges were eventually dropped however, along with the no-contact order, when Chelsea petitioned the judge, who approved her request.

Soon after this, Chelsea, who had been living with her biological mother Deanna Micoley in Wisconsin, headed to New Jersey to be with Sheerer.
