Rapper and singer Doja Cat has opened up about her ongoing struggle with borderline personality disorder, describing the condition as "agonizing" in a candid social media video, according to E! News.

The 30-year-old artist, whose real name is Amala Dlamini, shared that she has likely been dealing with the mental health condition for years while reflecting on her personal journey and therapy.

"I've learned from a very young age to pretend that I like stuff, to pretend that I'm happy, to pretend that I don't like stuff that I do to appear like everything is OK," Doja Cat said in a TikTok video. "And it caught up with me."

She explained that she has been struggling with BPD "probably forever," calling it a difficult and painful experience.

"It's an agonizing condition," she said, adding that she has been in therapy for years. "I am so relieved and so proud of myself. I've made it so far and I still make mistakes, but it is an eight-year process of curing, treatment and healing," according to E! News.

The singer discussed her mental health while defending fellow artist Chappell Roan, who has previously faced criticism for her tense interactions with paparazzi.

Doja Cat clarified that she was not diagnosing Roan with BPD but said she understands why the singer sometimes appears uncomfortable during public appearances.

"I love that she can be uncomfortable comfortably in front of people and protect herself," Doja Cat said. "I had to learn how to be honest with myself. I lied to myself for years--for most of my life--and to see her sit there, I love it," according to E! News.
