  2. Be a little braver every day. You know, like if you feel like you can't do something, just go do a little. a little And I promise you, before you know it, you're taking a big old bite of bravery. And it's amazing. And it can be something small. Like for me, if I don't feel well and maybe I have an off day, I have nothing to do, but I don't feel well simply by taking a bath and massaging some CBD oil on my body and then going to the mirror, brushing my hair, putting on some makeup. getting dressed. You know, these are also things that you learn in DBT, right? That if you don't feel well, whether it's mind or body, just you got to keep moving, you got to keep going. It's called throwing yourself into the moment. Throw yourself into the moment to take a little bit of a bite of that bravery, even if you only make it to the bath and you don't make it to the mirror. You did something.

  3. the mind and the body and its connection and all the things So I want there to be someone in every school that someone can go to if they're in need of help or that someone can go to if they see that someone else needs help. And then at the same time, it is a requirement in every school that you learned about the importance of kindness. You learn about triggers. You learn about depression. 44% of the population is suffering from depression. And it's because of loneliness. This is because of our cell phones and social media. This is not lonely because we don't have partners. We are literally collapsing around each other all. There's all these walls and we're collapsing around each other unable to have this personal. Interpersonal connection, it's got to stop.

  4. The work of that foundation was something that a lot of people didn't understand for a long time. They're like, what do you guys do? Like, you raise money for what? We were like, for a kinder and braver world. And they would go, It's really that simple. We want to create a kinder and braver world. And they're like, I don't understand. So what we do is we do research and we also provide resources so that people can learn more about mental health, the importance of kindness. And also we've put mental health first aid in schools around the country. Also, part of my commitment, this might be separate from the other epicenter of healing work that I want to do, is I want a mental health professional in every school in this country.

  5. You know I think I have a few superpowers. just haven't used them all yet. I'm getting ready. I've got a wand in my purse.

    2020-01-08 · Oprah's Super Soul · Oprah and Lady Gaga: Your Life in Focus · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  6. So I meditate. I do transcendal meditation. It's great. Bob Roth taught me. Isn't he great? He's great. Sorry So I do that and when I slip up on it, you know, it's not the best because it's better when I do. And sometimes I can be in a ton of pain and meditate and it goes away. It's amazing. I also work out every day, but I also listen to my body. So if I'm in a lot of pain and deep stress, I might not do either as hard of a workout or I might not work out at all. I do listen to my body and I listens to what it's telling me. I do talk therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and I also do lots of other things like opposite action, for example. So let's say you're feeling really depressed and you're at home and you've been at home for seven days straight and you just can't leave the house and you practice opposite action. Someone invites you to go somewhere or you reach out to a friend and you say, hey, you want to...

  7. Sure. You got that, right? You understand? Yes. Okay. And I am not at liberty to prescribe you. I just am sharing my story and I have it unorthodox box of medication. And it has changed my life.

  8. No shame. No shame. No shame, actually. That is very important because, look, it might be a process, you know, and you might have to try this and then try that. But the important thing is that you're working with someone that's an expert in medicine. So please, when you leave here today, having heard from me about this or anyone that's watching this later, please leave knowing that I'm sharing my personal experience with you, but I am not prescribing you.

  9. Yes, I did. I did. I had to go through a series. And actually, one that helped me the most was a drug called Madafenol. I don't know if anyone knows that drug. In the morning, when I wake up, I'm in tremendous pain most of the time. And it just kind of... Turns the lights on. And my brain just kind of wakes up. And then before I know it, the pain starts to dissipate a little bit. But no narcotics.

    2020-01-08 · Oprah's Super Soul · Oprah and Lady Gaga: Your Life in Focus · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  10. On antidepressants, I am on a medicine called methylcarbamol. And I am on an antipsychotic called a lanzipine. And I take a few other things that are stress-based. But I want to be very careful about saying any of this in a public way to tell anyone what to take. It's not the same for everyone. So I want to be very clear that if you feel that you need help, you need to go to a psychiatrist and you need to be properly evaluated by that psychiatrist so that you can get the help that you truly need. What I take is not necessarily what you need to take.

  11. What's happening is while mental health is the biggest health crisis that we have, right, there's also chronic neuropathic pain being produced by this.

    2020-01-08 · Oprah's Super Soul · Oprah and Lady Gaga: Your Life in Focus · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  12. I take no narcotics at all. No pain. If I call my doctor and I'm in a lot of pain and I say I need somebody to take this pain away, it's too much. It's been 11 days. It's been 11 days. He says, well, you can go to the hospital and you can ask them to give you pain medication, and then I'm going to tell them no and what they're going to give you is already in your purse. So just go to your purse and take your medication. be in pain in the privacy of your own home. And he doesn't mean it to be not nice to me. It's just that this is how we keep me safe. And this is how I want to keep the world safe as well. I don't want people in pain taking pain medication. This is not the way that this is going to work. People will become addicted and there is a correlation between mental health and chronic pain. And mental health is the biggest crisis in the world, right?

    2020-01-08 · Oprah's Super Soul · Oprah and Lady Gaga: Your Life in Focus · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  13. It does not affect my creative process. I don't take anything that does. When I get further down the road of creating this episenter of mental health and healing, I will share more with the world on a scientific level. So your medicines are.

    2020-01-08 · Oprah's Super Soul · Oprah and Lady Gaga: Your Life in Focus · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  14. Gratitude even in the midst of the pain, I do this all the time. I will be laying on my porch in pain crying and I will say thank you God for this pain. Thank you. I surrender it to you. This pain is meant from me and my body right now. I'm here in this moment and I'm learning. Thank you for teaching me.

    2020-01-08 · Oprah's Super Soul · Oprah and Lady Gaga: Your Life in Focus · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  15. Well, you know, some days are better than others. Some days I have lots of self-love. Some days I have less. Some days I have lots of self-confidence. Some days I have less. I had to radically just accept that every day can be different and that's okay. It doesn't mean we're not moving forward. In therapy, they say sometimes when you take three steps forward, you might also take one step back. What's important is to try to keep tabs on making sure that if you take two steps forward, you don't also do something that takes you 10 steps backwards at the same time. So my practice and my commitment is gratitude.

    2020-01-08 · Oprah's Super Soul · Oprah and Lady Gaga: Your Life in Focus · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  16. So my friends that I work with, I don't ever say that people work for me. They take care of me every single day so that I can be healthy and do my work, do what I love, and also because they so much believe in my mission. And for all of them that are here today, I would like to thank you so much for what you have done for me. My second family so that I can be here with Oprah and talk to you about this importance of self-care and shine a light on something that is so important. Let's be radical. Let's change things.

  17. It's lonely. And when you have chronic pain, it's extra lonely because it's just you that has it. And you can't make someone else feel it. You feel completely alone. And let me tell you something. I might be famous, but if you think that someone's bringing me caviar all day. more likely to be giving me a bowl of ice to dunk my head in so I don't have a dissociative

    2020-01-08 · Oprah's Super Soul · Oprah and Lady Gaga: Your Life in Focus · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  18. In an industry where everyone has someone on each other, so no one wants to help you out. Oh yeah, no one wanted to help me. No one wanted to. help me go after that person. Put that person where they belong, which is jail. I'm not ashamed of it, but through the whole Me Too movement have made the personal choice not to say who it is. because I choose to not relive it. And that's my personal choice, and I hope that the world respects that.

    2020-01-08 · Oprah's Super Soul · Oprah and Lady Gaga: Your Life in Focus · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  19. I just didn't stop moving. I just was moving and moving and working and working and dancing through insurmountable pain. And I will say it took years for me to be diagnosed with fibromyalgia. And even if you ask my psychiatrist, he doesn't even refer to it as that. He'll call it neuropathic pain or a trauma response. So I was going to the doctor all the time getting like my whole body x-rayed, MRI, everything for someone to tell me something was wrong. Like tell me I have a herniated disc or something and they couldn't find anything and it was so, so frustrating. So I was also on tour dancing in excruciating pain. And I wasn't properly medicated. And I wasn't in therapy.

    2020-01-08 · Oprah's Super Soul · Oprah and Lady Gaga: Your Life in Focus · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  20. It's where it's supposed to be right now, and then you can actually problem solve. You cannot problem solve if you're lying to yourself. See, I got to a place where... I didn't know who I was anymore, so I broke. My brain shut off. Right? But once I started to get to know myself again, I was able to.

    2020-01-08 · Oprah's Super Soul · Oprah and Lady Gaga: Your Life in Focus · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  21. Nope, don't do it. You're doing yourself a major disservice. Go in there and answer those questions authentically and then study them and radically accept your score. This is where I am.

    2020-01-08 · Oprah's Super Soul · Oprah and Lady Gaga: Your Life in Focus · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  22. Meaning, you have to go in and you got to really answer those questions. Like, don't be crafty. Don't try to get a good score.

    2020-01-08 · Oprah's Super Soul · Oprah and Lady Gaga: Your Life in Focus · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  23. Past that part, I feel that I belong to myself now, and I feel also that I belong to the world. And I've made peace with those things, and I think, and I'm happy with them. But, you know, it takes the hard work the same way that this book is hard work.

    2020-01-08 · Oprah's Super Soul · Oprah and Lady Gaga: Your Life in Focus · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  24. I was thinking two different things. So to answer your first question, at some point I had to tell people because I can't live a lie. I'm an authentic person and here I am perfectly imperfect, you know? It's like, and we all are. And we all have our things that we go through. And I just felt like why wouldn't I share this when I share all of myself with the world all the time? And I could maybe help people that have had psychotic breaks or maybe are on the verge of having one and spread my message. But when I was there, one of the very first things that we talked about in my therapy work was objectification and that I didn't feel that I belong to myself anymore. I felt that I belonged to the world.

    2020-01-08 · Oprah's Super Soul · Oprah and Lady Gaga: Your Life in Focus · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  25. You know, I think I was more scared of the psychotic break itself than I was about people knowing about it. I mean, when your brain flatlines like that, I mean, it's something I would never want to ever experience ever again.

    2020-01-08 · Oprah's Super Soul · Oprah and Lady Gaga: Your Life in Focus · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  26. I mean, that's how gone I was. I was so separated from the world. And once we started talking, he realized what had happened to me. And then he ordered medication for me that I took reluctantly at first. And then he became my psychiatrist and assembled a team for me. And I went away. A place that I go to sometimes still for like a reboot. And they took care of me and we got all of the things lined up. And I have a very unorthodox actually set of pills that I take, but they saved my life. And I'm very grateful.

  27. break from reality as we know it you have no concept of what's going on around you there there is nothing wrong but you are in a traumatic state that you feel like like I remember going into the hospital and screaming why is no one else panicking Why aren't you panicking? And then they brought a psychiatrist in, and then I'm a head to toe pain at the same time, right? And they brought in a psychiatrist and I said, can you get me a real doctor? And he was like, hey, so nice to meet you. And he sat down and I was like, I need medicine. I don't feel well. I can't feel my, like, help me, right? And then he just said, I need you to explain to me what happened today. And I was so annoyed, but I'm telling you this story because even I, who run this way foundation with my mother, was irritated that they brought a psychiatrist in to help me.

    2020-01-08 · Oprah's Super Soul · Oprah and Lady Gaga: Your Life in Focus · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  28. I was in a hospital. It's very difficult to describe what it feels like other than that you first are completely tingling from head to toe and then you go numb. But what is essentially happening is the brain goes, that's enough. I don't want to think about this anymore. I don't want to feel this anymore. Boom.

    2020-01-08 · Oprah's Super Soul · Oprah and Lady Gaga: Your Life in Focus · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  29. I had a psychotic break. I'll explain what happened. It pierced my brain, right? Here's my center, right? And then I was triggered really badly in a court deposition. And this part of the brain where you stay centered and you don't disassociate, right? went like this Slammed out, and my whole body started tingling, and I started screaming.

    2020-01-08 · Oprah's Super Soul · Oprah and Lady Gaga: Your Life in Focus · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  30. Wise sits in the center. Why is this when you are both rational and emotional at the same time? And those two things meet and you become wise. And that was the lesson that I learned. I mean, I had to learn how to pull myself back from either place and then sit in the center because actually a psychotic break if you look in the brain or it's sort of a metaphor about the brain it's like if you're centered in here because you

    2020-01-08 · Oprah's Super Soul · Oprah and Lady Gaga: Your Life in Focus · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  31. How to be wise See, there is the rational mind and there is the emotional mind. And I think from day to day, we all experience ourselves if we're mindful in some type of way, which I think this is good to be mindful about, is am I operating from an emotional space today or from a rational space today? Meaning when I say rational, I mean cerebral, like intelligence, thoughts, facts, you know, just really pragmatic and emotional meaning like am I operating from the heart? Am I really upset because my boyfriend broke up with me and I'm a mess, you know, and I'm just being completely irrational.

    2020-01-08 · Oprah's Super Soul · Oprah and Lady Gaga: Your Life in Focus · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  32. I can't look away because now when I see someone in pain, I can't look away because I go, oh, no, you're in pain. I'm in pain too. And then now I'm in problem solving mode. I got my suit on and my heels and I'm ready to go.

    2020-01-08 · Oprah's Super Soul · Oprah and Lady Gaga: Your Life in Focus · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  33. I think my greatest spiritual awakening actually has been quite recent. I think it's that I realized that I have the chronic pain that I have for a reason. And I don't mean to be like God gave it to me. And I also don't believe in that karma thing where you're sick because you did something bad But I do believe that this happened for a reason. All the things I've been through, I think they were supposed to happen. I was supposed to go through this. I think I was supposed to go through all of these things. I radically accept that they happened. And I think it happened because God was saying to me, I'm going to show you pain. And then you're going to help other people who are in pain because you're going to understand it

    2020-01-08 · Oprah's Super Soul · Oprah and Lady Gaga: Your Life in Focus · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  34. Any gender in response. When I talk to God, I say, Tell me what to do. I'm being watched and I want to do the right thing here. So tell me what you say. Tell me how to say it. And help me. See the path, and if you show me that path, I will walk down it. And do you know what, Oprah? Look where that path has led me. I am sitting right next to you.

    2020-01-08 · Oprah's Super Soul · Oprah and Lady Gaga: Your Life in Focus · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  35. You know, when I talk to God, right, you know, whatever you want to call it for yourself, if it's God or the other realm or your angels or...

    2020-01-08 · Oprah's Super Soul · Oprah and Lady Gaga: Your Life in Focus · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  36. I want impact. I always did. I thought it was just through music at one point. I had some dreams of being an actress. And then it really was a spiritual awakening for me. I mean, I consider myself a spiritual religious woman. I don't go to church every Sunday, but I do pray every day. I prayed like eight times before I came out here with you. I was like, God, just tell me what to say. And the truth is that Once I became famous, I thought to myself, well, I will and I want to continue making music. I will and want to continue being in movies. I want to help people, these people that come to my shows, I don't want to just take your money and sing for you. I want to help change your life. And I have all this life experience. And I can't

    2020-01-08 · Oprah's Super Soul · Oprah and Lady Gaga: Your Life in Focus · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  37. That's one of many processes. I can get triggered by lots of different things, by movies, things that people say. I could get triggered by this conversation. I'm not.

    2020-01-08 · Oprah's Super Soul · Oprah and Lady Gaga: Your Life in Focus · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  38. and I'm having a trauma response and I'm going to take my medication and I'm going to try to calm down my nervous system as much as possible so that this pain dissipates.

    2020-01-08 · Oprah's Super Soul · Oprah and Lady Gaga: Your Life in Focus · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  39. It's problem solving. It's something in DBT that they teach you is about emotions, and then I'll explain it. So if I say I'm upset, right? Then I'll say, why am I upset? And then I will write down all the reasons, and then I will check the facts. And if the emotion of feeling upset fits the facts, then I'll go to the next stage and I will say, okay, what action am I going to take now to solve this problem? So if I'm upset because I'm in pain, right, then what's my action going to be? I'm going to take my medication that's going to help me. I'm going to reach out to a friend or my doctor and tell them that I'm not feeling well. And I'm going to try to get to the core of the issue inside of me and speak it out into existence and do the cognitive work to say, I am upset because today I am triggered about being raped when I was.

  40. They were just trying to see if they could get me to move at one point. And radical acceptance was key. And it's one of the hardest things that any human can face. And it's a lot easier to go home and have a bottle of wine or two or three. Like just numb it all away Or dig deep.

    2020-01-08 · Oprah's Super Soul · Oprah and Lady Gaga: Your Life in Focus · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  41. You have got to, I mean, listen, I needed like a glass of wine when they told me this. I remember sitting with my doctor. And Andy's like, you need to radically accept that you're going to be in pain every day. And I was like, are you kidding me? I was like, that's how I'm going to heal just by accepting that I'm going to feel awful all the time. I'm going to be in hectatopain constantly. And he said, you have to radically accept it. And guess what? It took a little while, but I did. And you know what else happened after that? Slowly the pain dissipated slower and slower and slower. And then all of a sudden I can function. I was on the couch, Oprah. I was laid out. I could not move. I was being assessed by doctors. I had a psychotic break. I told you this in our interview before.

    2020-01-08 · Oprah's Super Soul · Oprah and Lady Gaga: Your Life in Focus · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  42. Yes, and that has come from both medicine, therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, cognitive therapy. And also, it's come through something that I learned through DBT, which is called radical acceptance. I am sitting here. with arguably the most powerful woman on the planet. I have radically accepted I will put my shame in a box all the way over there and make it very small. and say to myself, I have mental health issues, I take a lot of medication to stay on board. And I'm a survivor and I'm living and I'm thriving and I'm strong and I'm going to take all my life experiences and I'm going to share them with their world and make it a better place.

    2020-01-08 · Oprah's Super Soul · Oprah and Lady Gaga: Your Life in Focus · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  43. And what moves me so much in this space and why I want to work so heavily and much more thoroughly through it in the future is that not everybody has access to these things. And not everybody has the money for these things. And I want the money for it. I want the best doctors in the world. And I want us to understand the brain and all get on the same page about it so that Gen Z does not have to deal with this the way that we are right now. Mental health is a crisis.

    2020-01-08 · Oprah's Super Soul · Oprah and Lady Gaga: Your Life in Focus · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  44. of you. And women like you. Faith, inspiration, hope. And I also have to say, I have to say it, and I know that this is controversial in a lot of ways, but medicine really helped me. I think a lot of people are afraid of medicine for their brains to help them. And I really want to just erase the stigma around this because I'm sick of saying it over and over and over again. And also, by the way, if your primary care doctor is prescribing you an antidepressant. This should not be happening. Your primary care doctors should be introducing you to a psychiatrist who is an expert in brain medication.

  45. You're in, something that is going to be prolonged instead of shortening the amount of time that you're in. Another reason though that people cut also is to show. And my mom and I always say with Born This Way Foundation, tell me, don't show me. Sometimes I would cut because I didn't want to feel pain, and other times I would cut because I wanted to show people that I was in so much pain. I needed help

    2020-01-08 · Oprah's Super Soul · Oprah and Lady Gaga: Your Life in Focus · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  46. So I used to cutting for me, I believe, happens for a variety of reasons. I also used to throw myself against the wall. I mean, I used to do some horrible things to myself when I was in pain. And the truth is, there's two reasons I believe that this happens. And this is my own personal expertise just from my experience, is that for half a second, if you cut, you get some relief from the other pain that you're feeling because you have pain somewhere else. But then after, what happens is then you see the blood and then you feel chaotic and then you spiral more and more out of control and it is actually not helpful in any way and it is going to make your spiral worse. It will make the neurotic a state that

    2020-01-08 · Oprah's Super Soul · Oprah and Lady Gaga: Your Life in Focus · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  47. Well, I like to say I used to cut. as opposed to saying cutter. And I think I did say that with you in our interview. I love you too, sweetheart. I like to say I used to cut as opposed to I am a cutter because then I identify with it. And that's not healthy for me. And when you speak things out into existence, you're feeding back something to your brain that you don't want to.

    2020-01-08 · Oprah's Super Soul · Oprah and Lady Gaga: Your Life in Focus · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  48. There's also an immunity aspect where there is a possibility that the immune system has something to do with fibromyalgia or trauma response or neuropathic pain, whatever you want to call it. And there's also some similarities in my condition to autoimmune diseases, but fibromyalgia is not an autoimmune disease. So what I take an oath as a commitment today with you is it's 2020. And for the next decade and maybe longer, I'm going to get the smartest scientists, doctors, psychiatrists, mathematicians, researchers, and professors in the same room together. And we are going to go through each problem one by one, and we are going to solve this mental health crisis.

    2020-01-08 · Oprah's Super Soul · Oprah and Lady Gaga: Your Life in Focus · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source

  49. I was raped by someone that I knew repeatedly. And it was a trauma response. So when you asked me about what fibromyalgia is, what I would like for you to know and to shine a light on is that many people don't know what it is and we need to all get together and figure this out. This is how we're going to do it. There's the neuropsych aspect.
