Updated : October 26, 2023 01:17 PM ISTThe reality TV sensation from 'The Kardashians' and a self-declared control freak reflects on the years when she felt utterly lost, admitting she had "no clue" about the source of her struggles.
In an exclusive preview from an episode of 'The Kardashians' set to air on Thursday, the 27-year-old supermodel reflects on her journey with anxiety. She reveals that it took her a considerable amount of time to identify the discomfort she would feel in her chest, shedding light on her experiences.
Kendall Jenner's Candid Conversation
"I believe I was around eight years old, based on my recollection," she shares with the cameras. "But back then, I genuinely thought there was some physical issue with me. I insisted that my mom take me to see a heart specialist, a lung specialist, and even a neurologist because I was convinced something was amiss."
The scene transitions to a heartfelt conversation between Jenner and Scott Disick, focusing on her anxiety. Disick mentions that people tend to rush to judgment based on her looks, career, and financial success.

"Everyone faces their own challenges," he comments, with Jenner chiming in, "Exactly, that's the common misconception. We're all human, and we all experience emotions."
Navigating Misconceptions and Judgment
This marks not the initial instance when Jenner has candidly discussed her anxiety. In a May 2021 conversation with psychologist Dr. Ramani Durvasula as part of Vogue's "Open Minded" series, Jenner revisited her early encounters with the condition.
"I can recall being quite young - maybe around 8, 9, or 10 - and experiencing shortness of breath. I would go to my mom and share this with her," she recollected.
Kendall Jenner spilling the beans about her anxiety is like a little reminder that even the glam and famous have their real-life struggles. It's all about being cool, understanding, and kind in a world where people often jump to conclusions based on fancy Instagram pics.
