Kendall Jenner admits she’s had a ‘tough two months’ as she details 20 year anxiety battle and unique way she’s tackling mental health anguish in new Vogue shoot
Kendall Jenner revealed she’s had a ‘tough two months’ as she detailed her 20 year anxiety battle in a candid new interview.
The model, 28, opened up about her ongoing anxiety battle and the unique way she’s tackling mental health anguish in a new shoot with Vogue.
Kendall oozed confidence in a slew of stunning snaps for Vogue’s Summer 2024 issue, but admitted in reality, she has been ‘more sad’ than usual.
She explained: ‘I don’t see why I shouldn’t be honest about it. In my career right now I feel really stable, really hopeful. But I’ve had a tough two months.
‘I haven’t been myself, and my friends see it. I’m more sad than usual. I’m way more anxious than usual. So I’m not going to sit here and act like everything’s perfect. That’s life—I’m always going to be in and out of those feelings.’
‘In past interviews, when someone’s asked me about my mental state, it’s always been, “I’m great right now, but this is what I’ve dealt with.” Well, right now I’m actually in it.’
Do you think money can diminish anxiety?
She went on to share: ‘For me, getting out of bed in the morning and putting one foot in front of the other is so helpful for me. Moving, getting my blood flowing.
‘When I say I’m struggling right now, I’m not doing those helpful things. Choosing to sit in my bed and mope all day is setting myself up for failure.’
The supermodel has been an advocate for mental health and has been very open about her struggles with anxiety on Keeping Up With The Kardashians and her social media platforms for several years.
Along with depression, anxiety is among the most common mental-health condition in the UK, affecting 8.2million people in 2013 alone.
Around 40million adults suffer from the condition in the US every year.
Kendall’s main goal when discussing how anxiety has affected her life is to help de-stigmatize the negative correlation mental health issues and anxiety have in the world.
The model has been balancing her modeling career as well as launching her own business, 818 Tequila.
But despite all of her recent success, Kendall said: ‘I do have that impostor syndrome of, like, Wait, this is all happening to me? What did I do to deserve it?’
As the only Kardashian sister without children, Kendall Jenner has spoken out about feeling pressured to settle down by her family in the past.
But the model, 28, who thought she would have kids by 27, admitted there is no rush as she’s still ‘so young’ and enjoying her ‘kidless freedom’.
Kendall is currently single after her split from Bad Bunny in December, following a year of dating.
Meanwhile, her sisters – Kim, Kourtney, Khloé and Kylie – have 13 children between them, ranging from four months old to 14 years old.
During a stunning new pH๏τoshoot with Vogue, Kendall explained: ‘There are days when I look at what they have and think, That’s really special. I do like being a little bit removed, but one day I’ll make my way, probably.
‘When I was young I used to say that by 27 I’d love to have kids. Now I’m past that and I feel like I’m still so young. I’m enjoying my kidless freedom.’
It comes just days after Kendall attended the star-studded Met Gala in New York City.
Kendall has come under fire from online fashionistas over her claim that she was the ‘first human’ to wear her 1999 Givenchy by Alexander McQueen gown Met Gala gown.
Kardashian naysayers were then quick to point out that actress Winona Ryder had worn the dress in a 1999 pictorial for Flaunt magazine.
