Mary Pain 0 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 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. :cry: :cry: poor gaga. It's glad to read that she's relatively okay Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
giskardsb 12,565 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 YESSSS! So with you! I don't hear any other pop b---h whining when an album doesn't do well. she isn't "whining" because the album didn't do well. It's lots of other stuff. And depression is not "whining." Gaga is empathetic, so yes, she is affected by attitudes in her team around her. Not everybody is some "I don't give a **** about anything" person, and not everybody should be, and not everyone should be forced to be when they are not. Just because our society stupidly raises up people who are egocentric and out for themselves doesn't mean it's the only desirable trait in humanity, or even the most important one. Gaga does say "I don't give a ****" quite often, when it comes to perceptions of her work and people that want to change it. However, her empathetic nature means she attaches to people she works with and considers them as more than just employees, they are friends and teammates. When she decides those people are taking advantage of her, then she feels betrayed deeply. She's learning lessons about dealing with people in this industry as she goes. She couldn't have been expected to understand everything about people's motivations from the start. Hopefully she can learn these lessons while still maintaining her nature which leads her to speak out for human rights and start things like the BTW foundation.

Celina 118 Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 YESSSS! So with you! I don't hear any other pop b---h whining when an album doesn't do well. It's pretty obvious that there's something more to what she's saying than "whining" about her album sales. :roll: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Wonka 4 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Who needs called out are fans that don't try to see things from her point of view. What if you had nothing but people around you who were trying to use you to maximize income, even at the expense of your health, your ideas. Treating you as just a "doll" to be played with that makes a bunch of money. You might feel a bit victimized, eh? I can appreciate you defending her. And trust me, I am empathetic to a fault. Don't try and assume that I "don't try to see things from her point of view." I absolutely see things from her point of view. I'm very much like her that I emotionally latch on to people. I naively trust people too much sometimes. I feel for her. What I'm criticizing is her repeated public statements about being a victim. After the BTW era, the way she handles things completely changed. Let me remind you that she never wrote victimizing notes about herself after TEOG video "creative differences" disaster. She never complained about being betrayed when Laurieann left. She ignored Perez. She never even addressed Dada leaving. All of a sudden, after the FAME commercial came out, she wrote the big letter saying she had been betrayed and they wouldn't let her fulfill her creative visions and blah blah blah. Understandable. Time goes by and she comes back from her injuries. Her first performance starts with recorded boos.She talks about how depressed she was during her injury. She makes a huge speech at SWINEFEST about how she was used by men. She makes a video called "Lady Gaga is Over". She blasted blogs and music critics (and critics in general). She wrote all the tweets about the mean things people say about her (Lady Gaga is fat, Lady Gaga hates Katy Perry, Madonna hates Lady Gaga, etc.) She had a meltdown about Perez and talks about the texts he sent her. She performs DWUW at the AMAs with a backdrop of headlines about her weight. She writes another huge note on LM.com about how she was betrayed (again) and how depressed she has been. And here she is doing an interview talking about how people use her and she's so depressed. This is not me criticizing her for victimizing herself in this interview. This is me criticizing her for victimizing herself for the past year and a half. Clearly, she's going through a lot. But this isn't a mature way to handle this. She has more than enough money to get a therapist or psychologist. I understand she may feel like this, but at some point, she actually needs to address her issues and not just constantly talk about them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefani328 321 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 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. This :cry: :cry: Plus, you could tell when she smiled. She didn't seem genuinely happy. Her smile didn't even reach her eyes on Ellen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather that she be real and express her feelings, than some d--gged fembot with a fake smile pretending everything is okay, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
