AceShowbiz - Amidst the glitz of celebrity life, Kendall Jenner, the 28-year-old supermodel and entrepreneur, shares her ongoing battle with anxiety in the Summer 2024 issue of Vogue. Despite a career that many would envy, Jenner's admission sheds light on the pervasive issue of anxiety and how it affects individuals regardless of their success or status.
Her openness is a refreshing departure from the often superficial perception of the modeling world, offering hope and resilience to those who may be facing similar challenges.
"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," Jenner disclosed, encapsulating the unpredictable nature of mental health struggles.
This vulnerability is not what fans typically see from the runway star, known for her poised appearance and confidence. It's a stark reminder that behind every glamorous photoshoot and headline, there's a real person grappling with real issues.
Jenner's battle with anxiety is not new; she believes it started at the tender age of seven. Despite her successful career, which includes launching her own business, 818 Tequila, she still faces "imposter syndrome" and pressures that exacerbate her anxiety.
"I do have that impostor syndrome of, like, Wait, 'this is all happening to me? What did I do to deserve it?' " she shared, echoing a sentiment many can relate to, irrespective of their profession.
The model's approach to coping involves prioritizing movement and positivity, though she admits to struggling with maintaining helpful routines. "Choosing to sit in my bed and mope all day is setting myself up for failure," Jenner acknowledges, emphasizing the importance of actively combating negative thinking patterns and finding solace in activities like horseback riding.
Jenner's story is more than just a narrative of personal challenge and resilience; it serves as an advocacy platform for mental health awareness. By sharing her journey, she aims to de-stigmatize mental health issues and encourage others to embrace their vulnerabilities. Her message resonates particularly with young people, emphasizing that it's okay to not be okay and highlighting the significance of seeking help and finding what brings joy and peace amidst the chaos.
No stranger to the public eye, Jenner's decision to be open about her struggles is commendable, offering a glimmer of hope and understanding to those who may feel isolated in their battles. In doing so, she reminds us that mental health is a crucial aspect of our overall well-being, deserving of attention, compassion, and care.
