The NYU alum recently revealed how dealing with fame pushed her into a dark place before she was able to channel the pain into the making her new album Chromatica.
Gaga explained how the pressure of the spotlight was so harsh that she began thinking about suicide almost daily, a confession she made to CBS’s Lee Cowan on Sunday.
‘I didn’t really understand why I should live other than to be there for my family. That was an actual real thought and feeling: “Why should I stick around?”‘

She added of her depression: ‘It’s not always easy, if you have mental issues, to let other people see. I used to show. I used to self-harm.
‘I used to say, “Look. I cut myself. See, I’m hurt.” Cause I didn’t think anyone could see. Cause mental health, it’s invisible.’
Gaga (whos also opened up about the mental trauma that comes with fame, while showing off her at-home recording studio.
She said: ‘This is the piano I’ve had for so many years. I’ve written so many songs on this piano. And I think, “Oh my gosh, it’s so special, this piano, I love this piano.” I don’t know how to explain.

Suicidal thoughts: The 34-year-old said: ‘I didn’t really understand why I should live other than to be there for my family. That was an actual real thought and feeling: “Why should I stick around?”‘
‘I went from looking at this piano and thinking, “You ruined my life!” I was like, “You made me Lady Gaga. My biggest enemy is Lady Gaga!”‘
The Born This Way artist continued: ‘That’s what I was thinking. My biggest enemy is here. “What did you do? You can’t go to the grocery store now. If you go to dinner with your family, somebody comes to the table… It’s always about you. And your outfits, look at your outfits! Why you gotta be like that?!”‘
She also explained the lyrics to her song 911, for which she recently dropped the music video: ‘”Pop a 911,” that’s a reference to the medication that I have to take when I used to panic because I’m Lady Gaga.’

Gaga added of Chromatica: ‘There’s not one song on that record that’s not true. Not one. I totally gave up on myself, I hated being famous. I hated being a star. I felt exhausted and used up.’
But she’s since found a way through her depression, thanks to her latest album, which recently won her three MTV Video Music Awards.
The Stupid Love artist said: ‘I don’t hate Lady Gaga anymore. I found a way to love myself again, even when I thought that was never gonna happen.
