During her Black Friday visit to the Ali Forney Center for homeless LGBT youth, Lady Gaga revealed to the “Today” show that she suffers from PTSD stemming from being raped at 19.

“I suffer from a mental illness. I suffer from PTSD. I’ve never told anyone that before, so here we are,” the 30-year-old singer says.

“But the kindness that’s been shown to me by doctors, as well as my family and my friends, it’s really saved my life.” Gaga continued. “I’ve been searching for ways to heal myself, and I’ve found that kindness is the best way.”

The “Million Reasons” singer opened up about her rape on “The Howard Stern Show” in 2014 saying she had kept quiet about the incident because she didn’t want it to define her.

“I’ll be damned if somebody’s gonna say that every creatively intelligent thing that I ever did is all boiled down to one dickhead [who] did that to me,” Lady Gaga told Stern. “I’m going to take responsibility for all my pain looking beautiful and all the things that I’ve made out of my strife. I did that.”

While speaking with the LGBT youth, Gaga said meditation has helped her manage her trauma.

“I don’t have the same kind of issues that you have, but I have a mental illness and I struggle with that every day so I need my mantra to help keep me relaxed,” Lady Gaga says.

Lady Gaga’s visit to the center was for the Share Kindness campaign, a collaboration between NBC and her Born This Way Foundation.
