Kendall Jenner Said That Living With Anxiety Has Left Her “Scared To Have Children”

Over the years, Kendall Jenner has always been incredibly open about her struggle with anxiety, which she referred to as a “huge hurdle” in her life

In 2018, Kendall explained that she’d “struggled with anxiety and panic attacks” since she “was a little girl,” and that it was so “debilitating” that she’d often wake up in the night having “full-on panic attacks.”

Three years later, the model opened up some more in a series for Vogue with clinical psychologist Ramani Durvasula. Here, Kendall acknowledged the backlash that her comments about anxiety can trigger online as she pointed out that having a “privileged” lifestyle doesn’t exempt her from mental health struggles.

“There’s going to be those people that say, ‘Oh, OK, what does she have to worry about? What does she have to be anxious about?'” she said at the time. “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.”
“I still have one of these, you know what I mean?” Kendall went on, pointing to her head. “And that thing up there sometimes doesn’t always… I don’t know, it’s not always happy, and it’s not always connecting, and 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,” she concluded at the time.

And two years later, Kendall has admitted that having mental health struggles amid her many “blessings” often leaves her with feelings of “guilt.”
Now 27 years old, Kendall also said that her anxiety appears to be getting worse as she gets older, and that it has ultimately put her off having children.

Speaking to Scott Disick in this week’s episode of The Kardashians, Kendall kickstarted the conversation by saying that she thinks that one of her dogs has “separation anxiety,” adding: “Maybe I’m the problem, I don’t know. Maybe he feels my anxiety, I could be the problem.”

Scott then asked: “Do you have that much anxiety?” To which Kendall replied: “Yeah, I’ve been really bad lately. It’s one of the reasons why I’m actually scared to have children.”

“Honestly, the scariest part for me is, I’m like, am I just going to get worse throughout life?” she went on. “Because I feel like it’s worse than ever right now, and I’m just like, the older I get, is it just going to get worse and worse and worse?”
