Lady Gaga has defeated her demons. In an interview, she now reveals that she thought of suicide every day.
Celebrity life also has its downsides: The pop singer Lady Gaga (34, "A Star Is Born") once again spoke openly about her psychological problems in a moving interview with the US broadcaster CBS. Among other things, she explained that at times she couldn't cope with being famous. At times she even gave up: "I hated being a star. I felt drained and used up."
It was her fictional character Lady Gaga who bothered her the most, not so much the fans or the music industry: "I looked at my piano and thought: 'You ruined my life. You brought me to Lady Gaga My greatest enemy is Lady Gaga. '"She suffered from not being perceived as Stefani Germanotta, her real name:" You can't go to the supermarket. If you go out to eat with your family, come straight away People to you. It was all about them (Lady Gaga, editor's note). "
She thought of suicide every day
She even had suicidal thoughts every day in this episode of her life. She no longer understood why she should live: "Those were real thoughts and feelings, why should I stay here." She would have lived under constant surveillance in her house for a few years to make sure that she was not harming herself.
Moments were particularly bad for her when fans simply came up to her in private situations and wanted selfies. She then felt panic and pain all over her body: "It's as if I were just an object and no longer a person." In the meantime, however, she is feeling much better mentally and physically. Different people would have helped her to cross the valley.
