Gaga struggles with exhaustion

Gaga struggles with exhaustion

Lady Gaga is constantly struggling to overcome a "fog" of exhaustion which "hovers over" her during her gruelling touring schedule.

The Poker Face hitmaker has been touring non-stop over the last 18 months with her Monster Ball shows and in early 2010, she sparked fears for her health by cancelling a number of concerts due to fatigue.

Gaga admits her constant tiredness is a serious concern, but she is determined to continue her punishing work routine for the sake of her fans.

In an interview with Sir Elton John for V magazine, she says, "At a certain point exhaustion becomes a state of being, and mentally I have to be strong and overcome it. It's like a cloud, a fog really that hovers over me. But in a way I will never ever escape it. Art is my whole life.

"The monsters (fans) are my medicine. They heal me, physically and emotionally, every night at the show. I feel God through their love. I worship little monsters. They're my religion."

Rijja

For the past 2 days, I wake up & I’m scared that I would see Rijja dead. Rijja has been dehydrated, thanks to this damn heat. And she has developed a swelling in her intestine. Although we have been giving her ORS every hour for the past 2 days, I haven’t seen any improvement.

Rijja has never been closed to me. She only comes to me when she’s not feeling well. She’s friends only with cats of her own age & she goes out of the way to care for her brother Tasha & her pals. I often say that Rijja takes care of Tasha just like Zara takes care of me.

Last year a family wanted to give away Persian kittens to reliable families & our name was recommended to them by the vet. That’s how I met Rijja & Tasha.

I don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow. Whenever I pray for my cat, he/she dies for sure. Naturally it leaves me with no option. Today I’m just telling myself that Rijja is also God’s baby & He’s going to take care of her.

I always wanted to name my daughter Rijja & when I saw Rijja for the 1st time, I decided this is the right time. And I think I must shut up now.
