rapes she suffered as a teenager
and the various trauma she has carried through her career, Gaga told Winfrey,"I have PTSD. I have chronic pain. Neuropathic pain trauma response is a weekly part of my life. I'm on medication; I have several doctors. This is how I survive." However,"I kept going," the star continued,"and that kid out there or even that adult out there who's been through so much, I want them to know that they can keep going, and they can survive, and they can win their Oscar. 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.
Fortunately, her trauma no longer seems insurmountable."I once believed that there was no way back from my trauma. I really did. I was in physical, mental, and emotional pain," Gaga told Winfrey."And medicine works, but you need medicine with the therapy for it to really work, because there's a part that you have to do yourself."
