Lady Gaga sat down with Oprah on Saturday for a wide-ranging and candid discussion about her experiences with mental health and chronic pain, including having a psychotic break.

During the conversation, which took place as part of Oprah’s 2020 Vision: Your Life in Focus Tour in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Lady Gaga described what her psychotic break felt like.

“My whole body started tingling and I started screaming. I was in a hospital. It’s very difficult to describe what it feels like other than that you first start to tingle from head to toe and then you go numb,” Lady Gaga said, according to Harper’s Bazaar. “The brain goes, ‘That’s enough, I don’t want to think about this anymore. I don’t want to feel this anymore.’ Boom. You break from reality as you know it.”
