Lady Gaga Opens Up About Contemplating Suicide Every Day After Finding Success; "I Totally Gave Up On Myself".

 

Lady Gaga recently appeared on CBS "Sunday Morning," where she discussed her suicidal state following her rise to fame.⠀

⠀

 ”I hated being famous. I hated being a star," she said. "I felt exhausted and used up. I didn't really understand why I should live other than to be there for my family," Lady Gaga confessed. "That was an actual real thought and feeling: Why should I stick around?"⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The 34-year-old "Judas" star said that the instant success was too much to handle, as it left her unable to make a grocery store run or a dinner with loved ones without being chased down by eager fans. This contributed to her declining mental health, which led to daily thoughts of taking her own life.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

She also recalled even resenting the piano that she's owned and mastered over the years, which contributed greatly to her fame.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

"You ruined my life. ... You made me Lady Gaga. My biggest enemy is Lady Gaga," she said of her piano.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The Grammy winner explained how challenging it was to reveal to others that she was struggling with her mental health issues.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

"It's not always easy, if you have mental issues, to let other people see. I used to self-harm. I used to say, 'Look. I cut myself. See, I'm hurt,' because I didn't think anyone could see because, mental health, it's invisible."
