Doja Cat says she would be a psychologist if she weren't an artist.
The 30-year-older rapper and singer shared her alternate career path for her April cover story for Vogue.
She explained, “I think the human mind is just so complex and fascinating and beautiful and chaotic."
Doja discussed her own therapy experiences, which she says began during the Scarlet album cycle, particularly in managing her borderline personality disorder, saying, “I'm not cured of anything. But it helps me understand why I do the things that I do."
“I don't know what I would've done without it or where l'd be without it,” she added. “I've been able to see through a lot of the fog that I couldn't see through before ... I don't want to be in a state of agony before a show."
She continued, “I don't want to be exhausted. I don't want to be unhealthy. And physically, mentally... I need all of the education I can get on how to do that."
Therapy has also helped her feel "at peace" in her romantic relationships, allowing her to "[love] when they leave."
“This is what therapy has done for me,” Doja said. “It's allowed me to be away and be at peace without being like, 'I need tarot cards. I need an answer. Text me.' I don't do any of that anymore. It's very nice."
The “Paint the Town Red” artist recently spoke out about her “agonizing” struggles with borderline personality disorder (BPD) in a recent TikTok inspired by the criticism Chappell Roan has received for appearing uncomfortable with paparazzi or fan interactions.
"I am not diagnosing Chappell Roan with BPD," she said. "I'm saying there's a connection to the way people are treating her for showing her discomfort."
