Katie14 4,828 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 She talked about nightmares, feeling panicked, having anxiety and depression, not being able to differentiate between normal touch and being assaulted ( which is like a flashback), having chronic pain issues, self destructive behavior, not fully remembering her traumatic event, trouble relating to others. These are all symptoms of PTSD, she just never actually put a label to what she was experiencing. She probably didn't even know she had it until she started seeing a therapist. Im so happy she is being so upfront about her struggles. Honestly the best thing she can do for these social and health causes is to talk about it and raise awareness because she has such a big platform. A lot of people in her position may be afraid or embarrassed to show this level of vulnerability. I am so proud of her. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaLuna 12,732 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Words cannot express how much I love this woman. She's the definition of kindness and love. The world would be a much better place if more people were like her A lot of people go through traumas and become bitter and inflict their own pain on other people to deal with their suffering, but not her. She deals with her pain by being kind and loving to others. Such an inspiration. As someone who also suffers from mental illness, I love that she's there for people like me.

It's eternal." That's why it breaks my heart when people just treat her as a "cash cow". She's been nothing but good to us. She's still the person who would be there in a heartbeat if we ever really truly needed her. It's time for us to be there for her I love you monsters. I'd be unfixably broken without you Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oriane 20,935 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 She didn't say it clearly before but it was obvious, she said she went really bad after the rape and has been fighting against depression ever since, this added to the bullying and her lack of self-confidence...

Katie14 4,828 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 I remember Gaga said in an interview last year that the person who raped her doesn't even know that he raped her. It makes me feel so sick and angry that a 15 minute act of power dominance, impulsivity, whatever it was, has caused Gaga so much physical, mental, and emotional pain and this guy has no idea he even did anything wrong. How is that even possible? Also, im sure her knowing that he doesn't know must makes it so much harder for her to move on. It invalidates her. She blamed herself for so long because she doubted whether or not it really happened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
