Kendall Jenner Opens Up About Struggle with Anxiety: ‘Sometimes I Think I’m Dying’
During a conversation with psychologist Dr. Ramani Durvasula for Vogue’s new video series, “Open Minded,” supermodel Kendall Jenner opened up about her struggle with anxiety.
The reality star spoke candidly about her journey and also talked about the symptoms she’s experienced since she was young: “I remember being really young: I’d say 8, 9, 10… and having shortness of breath and going to my mom and telling her that,” Kendall recalled. “In hindsight, now I know that that was obviously anxiety. I think being overworked and being in the situation that I’m in now is kind of what set it out of control in a way,” TooFab quotes.
The 25-year-old went on to say, “I’ve had times where I feel like I need to be rushed to the hospital because I think my heart’s failing and I can’t breathe and I need someone to help me,” Kendall continued. “Sometimes I think I’m dying,” she added. “Sometimes parts of my body will go numb. It can be really intense and scary.”
She pointed out that many would often ask: “What does she have to worry about? What does she have to be anxious about?”
She simply explained, “I’ll never sit here and say that I’m not fortunate. I know I live a very privileged, amazing lifestyle. I’m a very blessed girl,” she explained. “I’m still a human being at the end of the day. No matter what someone has or doesn’t have, it doesn’t mean that they don’t have real-life feelings and emotions.”
