Kendall Jenner Opens Up About Her Anxiety Struggles, Panic Attacks
Kendall Jenner opened up about her struggles with anxiety and panic attacks during her February cover story for Harper’s Bazaar magazine.
While posing for the magazine's latest issue, the 22-year-old model and Keeping Up with the Kardashians star said that she faces side effects of the illness on a regular basis due to what is currently going on in the world.
“I have such debilitating anxiety because of everything going on that I literally wake up in the middle of the night with full-on panic attacks,” Jenner admitted to the magazine, according to a Jan. 11 report by Radar Online.
As for what exactly sparks her to feel anxious, Jenner admitted that it is hard to name just one thing that brings on her uneasy thoughts.
"Everything is so horrible ... I just think that the world needs so much love. I wish I had the power to send Cupid around the planet, as cheesy as that sounds,” she explained.
According to Jenner, it’s “hard to stay positive” with so much negativity around, and oftentimes, she feels she's getting eaten alive by the negativity of today's world.
Over a year ago, a source told In Touch Weekly magazine that Jenner was suffering from “crippling anxiety” and that she was consistently dealing with sleepless nights and panic attacks. The insider also said that Jenner's anxiety was leading her to have no appetite.
”[She] was barely eating," the insider said.
At the time, friends of Jenner were reportedly urging the model, who also suffers from acne, to “get help.” However, it was never revealed whether or not she actually received any treatment.
In other Jenner news, the model is currently dating Los Angeles Clippers player Blake Griffin, who has been plagued by injuries for the past few months. As fans of the basketball star may have seen, Griffin was taken out of a game back in November of last year with a sprained MCL. Then months later, after being benched for several weeks, Griffin suffered a concussion when a member of the Golden State Warriors accidentally elbowed him in the forehead.
