Kendall Jenner speaks up on anxiety

Kendall Jenner recalled what it was like when she suffered the attacks and what it was like when she was a child. “I was really little and I was experiencing symptoms of anxiety — not even my mom could tell me, ‘Oh, that’s anxiety,'” Kendall began. She recalled feeling overtly overwhelmed on someday, so much so, she could not even get out of bed. “There have been moments for sure where it’s me who’s freaking out, so I’m like, ‘I can’t do this, I can’t get out of bed today, oh my gosh, I’m having a moment, I can’t go to work, this is impossible.'”

Speaking about what Kendall Jenner’s mother Kris Jenner told her when she suffered from these bouts, she said, “She [Kris] will try and support me as a mom, but then she’s also my manager, so then she says, ‘Well, you have to go to work'”. Kendall recalled feeling overwhelmed at these times and said what it was she could tell her mother. “It can be frustrating sometimes, where you’re like, ‘I just wish you could be inside my body to know exactly what I’m feeling right now and why I physically can’t get out of bed.'”

Kendall Jenner based this episode on how people could be an ally to those suffering from anxiety. Dr Curly Bonds, the psychologist on her show, said that the first thing that had to be done was normalize anxiety. He said that it was important that people understood the onset of anxiety and how to calm a person who was feeling its effects.
