Kendall Jenner revealed what she writes about in her secret diary

Keeping Up with the Kardashians star Kendall Kenner recently posed nude for i-D and opened up about her secrets. The model keeps a journal, and she said she writes in it once or twice a week. 

Jenner said writing in her diary helps her cope with anxiety, panic attacks, and depression. “It’s important to have a space that’s just for you where you can let out your happiness, your anger, frustrations, and stress, the things that are freaking you out, the things that are making you happy and even just ideas,” she explained. 

The reality star added that she believes in manifestation because “our minds are extremely powerful.”

Kendall Jenner has opened up about anxiety and panic attacks before

The runway model has spoken about her mental health in the past. “I am very aware of my anxieties. I don’t like the pity party. I don’t like talking about when I don’t feel too well,” Kendall Jenner said in 2021 (per Vanity Fair). “I am a little nervous. Just being kinda open about what I struggle with, and making it known to other people, is a bit nerve-wracking.” 

She said that being overworked contributes to her anxiety. “I think being overworked and being in the situation that I’m in now is kinda what set it out of control in a way,” the model said. Jenner added that her panic attacks have made her feel like she needed to go to the hospital. “I’ve had times where I feel like I need to be rushed to the hospital because I think that my heart’s failing and I can’t breathe and I need someone to help me. Sometimes I think I’m dying, sometimes parts of my body will go numb, and it can be really … yeah, intense and scary.”

The runway model’s diary is so secret that it has a lock on it

Although she has gotten more comfortable opening up about her mental health, there are other secrets in Kendall Jenner’s diary. She is so protective of its contents that she keeps the journal under lock and key. 

“It’s like an old-fashioned diary,” Jenner said. “It has a lock on it and I hide it, I lock it away: mine is so, so secretive.”

As someone who grew up in the public eye and has a career that requires exposing a great deal of her body and personal life, it makes sense that Jenner wants to keep her journal completely private. “I’m like, ‘No one can ever get this,’” she said.
