Harpers Bazaar: FULL interview!

[Emvee 7,885]

Interesting read, no shade but it seems like she's been depressed throughout 12-13

I think Gaga is just that type of soul. She is very aware of her surroundings and often what surrounds us is not very good. I caught on to this about her around the Paparazzi era.

So to say she's just playing the victim shows a misunderstanding of her as a person. She will always have a hint of melancholy in everything that she does, what's important is that she perseveres and shares her experiences so that we can learn from them.

This interview makes me even more excited for what's to come.

This is why GaGa is and will always be #1 for me ^__^ <3

Ugh reading that interview she related to me so much. I'm constantly depressed and feel like I have no talents and don't create anything. It's the worst. I wish I had her strength to just start working all day every day though. bluhhhhh

HB: What's the biggest thing you've learned about yourself so far?

LG: I became very depressed at the end of 2013. I was exhausted fighting people off. I couldn't even feel my own heartbeat. I was angry, cynical, and had this deep sadness like an anchor dragging everywhere I go. I just didn't feel like fighting anymore. I didn't feel like standing up for myself one more timeâ€â€to one more person who lied to me. But January 1, I woke up, started crying again, and I looked in the mirror and said, "I know you don't want to fight. I know you think you can't, but you've done this before. I know it hurts, but you won't survive this depression." I really felt like I was dyingâ€â€my light completely out. I said to myself, "Whatever is left in there, even just one light molecule, you will find it and make it multiply. You have to for you. You have to for your music. You have to for your fans and your family." Depression doesn't take away your talentsâ€â€it just makes them harder to find. But I always find it. I learned that my sadness never destroyed what was great about me. You just have to go back to that greatness, find that one little light that's left. I'm lucky I found one little glimmer stored away.

 

I knew it. I ****ing knew it. After all the bull**** by the media AND fans that she would stand up and fight!!! She has realised that its time to show them basic b---hes how its DONE!!!

So she was depressed as some of us thought. Meanwhile others whine and bash that she's just being lazy and only "riding Taylors D"

In fact she was balling her eyes out and trying to hold on to life.

Seeing her performance at the Voice and her standing there next to the host (don't remember how it was) it did look like she was not her sparkly self but very withdrawn.

Makes me wonder if that New Years tweet that "didn't get through"  was really what happened or that she just was mentally so struggling that the last thing on her mind was Twitter, for which I wouldn't even blame her tbh.

HB: What do you want written on your gravestone?

LG: "She spread love with every invention."

I've thought about the bolded part too, and that makes me sad that she was unhappy over christmas :( (or at any time, but especially over the holidays)

HB: How do you think people in the future will feel about fashion right now?
LG: I'm not sure. I imagine that there will be a revival of some of these aestheticsâ€â€the more bold ones. Those who have watered down themselves for "sale" might make money now, but they are shortchanging their legend. I always think to myself, How do I want to be remembered? I don't want to be remembered as anything but brave. The only good intention to make money is to help others. I want to be Oprah. I want to be Melinda Gates. If I ever sell products other than my talents, then it will be to give more to others.

What a great interview. It explains SO much about her behaviour in the last few months. I'm proud of her for speaking so candidly about an issue that is still taboo (mental health) and it deals with the generalisation that if you're rich and famous you can't be depressed. Maybe now this rabid fanbase can ease up on their expectations of her and realise she is still dealing with depression everyday since it's not really something that can be "cured."
