“He locked me away in a studio for months.
“I had a total psychotic breakdown and for a couple of years, I was not the same girl.
“Even if I have six brilliant months, all it takes is getting triggered once to feel bad.
“And when I say I feel bad, I mean thinking about dying. I learned all the ways to pull myself out of it.
“I don’t tell this story for my own self-service, because, to be honest, it’s hard to tell,” she said.
“I feel a lot of shame about it. How do I explain to people that I have privilege, I’ve got money and power but I’m miserable?”
Lady Gaga however added that she’s not telling her story to get public sympathy but as part of her healing process and to help others in similar situations.
“I’m not saying my story because I want people to cry for me. I’m good, but to heal you have to open your heart up to somebody.
“I’ve been through it and I know people need help. So, that’s part of my healing, being able to talk to you. I don’t ever want to face that person again,” she added.
