    Quote

    Gaga says no one else knew about the stress

    Opening up

    Don't want to hide anymore, says Lady Gaga

    "For me, with my mental health issues, half of the battle in the beginning was, I felt like I was lying to the world because I was feeling so much pain but nobody knew," Gaga said.

    "So that's why I came out and said that I have PTSD because I don't want to hide, anymore than I already have to," she added.

    Gaga speaks about how trauma victims feel every day

    Describing the effects, Gaga said she feels "stunned" or "stunted" all the time.

    "You know that feeling when you're on a roller-coaster and... about to go down the really steep slope? My diaphragm seizes up. Then I have a hard time breathing, and my whole body goes into a spasm. I begin to cry. That's what it feels like for trauma victims," Gaga said.
