Kendra Wilkinson, the former reality TV star, has spoken candidly about hitting rock bottom and struggling with depression, panic attacks, and psychosis. The 38-year-old, who rose to fame at 18 as one of Hugh Hefner’s girlfriends in the reality series The Girls Next Door, has spoken about how Playboy Mansion lifestyle and her partying habits contributed to her downward spiral. Wilkinson has been open about her struggles with depression, saying she “was dying of depression” and “hitting the end of my life” when she was admitted to hospital last year.
In an interview with People magazine, Wilkinson revealed that she was diagnosed with depression and was prescribed antipsychotic medication Abilify. She also began outpatient therapy three times a week. The reality TV star admitted that she had been trying to deal with her mental health issues on her own, but ultimately realized that she needed help.
Wilkinson has spoken about how she felt like she was losing hope and unable to see a future. She said, “It was the lowest place I’ve ever been in my life. I felt like I had no future. I couldn’t see in front of my depression. I was giving up and I couldn’t find the light.” She also opened up about feeling like she wasn’t strong enough to live anymore and expressed her gratitude for her ex-husband, Hank Baskett, who drove her to the hospital when she hit rock bottom.
The former I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! contestant has said that she has been working to correct her past mistakes and ensure that her daughter, Alijah Mary, does not go through what she went through as a teenager. She is determined to teach her daughter that she is more than just her physical appearance and is currently pursuing a career in real estate to provide for her children.
Wilkinson’s story serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of seeking help and speaking out about mental health issues. Her courage in sharing her story may inspire others to do the same and encourage those struggling to seek help before it’s too late.
