Lady Gaga Speaks Out About Struggling With Depression "Every Single Day"
Posted on Fri Oct 16th, 2015 8:26am PDT By X17 Staff
You may think being an international pop star, a TV star and having a major hottie for a fiance would mean that Lady Gaga wouldn't have a care in the world -- but that certainly isn't the case. In hopes of helping others with similar problems, the superstar just revealed she struggles with depression and anxiety daily.
The "Applause" singer admitted, "I’ve suffered through depression and anxiety my entire life, I still suffer with it every single day. I just want these kids to know that that depth that they feel as human beings is normal. We were born that way. This modern thing, where everyone is feeling shallow and less connected? That‘s not human."
The 29-year-old also said that she believes cell-phone culture is leading to people's (especially teens) unhappiness, saying, "There is something in the way that we are now, with our cell phones and people are not looking at each other and not being in the moment with each other, that kids feel isolated. They read all of this extremely hateful language on the Internet. The Internet is a toilet. It is. It used to be a fantastic resource—but you have to sort through sh-t to find the good stuff."
The singer has been trying to fight this fight and help others along the way for a long time. The singer launched her own nonprofit, the Born This Way Foundation, in 2012 to help aid struggling teens.
We have a feeling that Mother Monster's speaking out about her own woes -- will help thousands of others. Way to go, Gaga!
