.ladygaga opened up about learning to channel her pain and past traumas, and how she's survived and prospered in a new interview
, the singer, actor, and fashion icon sat down with Oprah to discuss her new makeup line, Haus Laboratories; coming more into herself over the past decade; proverbially killing her bullies with kindness; and how she learned to better channel her pain and trauma from her past.
“I was a cutter for a long time, and the only way that I was able to stop cutting and self-harming myself was to realize that what I was doing was trying to show people that I was in pain instead of telling them and asking for help,” she explained. “When I realized that telling someone, ‘Hey, I am having an urge to hurt myself,’ that defused it. I then had someone next to me saying, ‘You don’t have to show me. Just tell me: What are you feeling right now?’ And then I could just tell my story.
The singer also explained that she no longer self-harms, and underscores the importance of asking for help if and when you need it. “I’m on medication; I have several doctors. This is how I survive,” she said. “I would also beckon to anyone to try, when they feel ready, to ask for help. And I would beckon to others that if they see someone suffering, to approach them and say, ‘Hey, I see you. I see that you’re suffering, and I’m here. Tell me your story.
