In Thursday's episode of Anything Goes with Emma Chamberlin, the 28-year-old reality star dished on the difficulties she's faced during her career as a high-profile supermodel.
"I'm not gonna sit here and say that I've had the toughest journey," Kendall said. "I think I've been extremely fortunate."
But the star continued on to explain the "set of challenges" she's faced over the years.
"It is very lonely," Kendall said. "I've had really dark nights where I've been in random cities and just hysterically crying myself to sleep because I haven't been home in three months, and I've been pretty much alone the entire time."
The 818 Tequila mogul admitted that missing out on important family events has been especially hard and confessed that, at times, she finds herself wondering, "Is this all worth it?"
Despite the glamorous life put forth by her famous family, Kendall has made it clear that she wants to be as transparent as possible about her mental health struggles to help reduce stigma around the topic.

In an episode of The Kardashians last October, Kendall opened up about her life-long battle with anxiety and shared her fears that she was getting "worse."
But in the recent podcast appearance, she displayed an important sense of gratitude as she reflected on why her career, despite the stress it can cause, has been worth it in the end.
"It really is a beautiful thing to be able to travel the world the way I have," she said. "I feel very grateful for my experience."
