Lady Gaga has opened up about the dark depression that she suffered with at the end of last year.

The singer revealed how she felt just a few weeks back after a number of personal betrayals from the people closest to her.

'''I became very depressed at the end of 2013,'' she confessed.

“I really felt like I was dying - my light completely out. I was exhausted fighting people off. I couldn't even feel my own heartbeat. I was angry, cynical, and had this deep sadness like an anchor dragging everywhere I go. I just didn't feel like fighting anymore. I didn't feel like standing up for myself one more time-to one more person who lied to me.”

Gaga revealed that the turning point for her was New Year’s Day.

“I said to myself, ‘Whatever is left in there, even just one light molecule, you will find it and make it multiply.

You have to for you. You have to for your music. You have to for your fans and your family.'”
