Kendra Wilkinson Ends 'Relationship With Real Estate' For Mental Health

Kendra Wilkinson is taking a break from selling homes.

The "Kendra Sells Hollywood" star recently revealed that she's stepping away from her career so she can put her focus elsewhere.

The 38-year-old reality star is putting her real estate career on the back burner for a while so she can direct her focus to other areas in her life. The former Playboy model shared a simple photo that says, "Blessed" on social media to make her announcement.

"My relationship with real estate has come to an end at this moment and I'm on to new projects," Wilkinson shared in an Instagram caption on Tuesday morning. "I'm blessed and thankful for all the support and mentoring I was given. Real estate is hard and I might get back into it again down the line."

Her caption continued by explaining that "it's a little stressful in my life," so she's focusing on her mental health and her children, son Hank IV, 14, and daughter Alijah, 9, with her ex-husband, former NFL wide receiver Hank Baskett.

Wilkinson starred in "Kendra Sells Hollywood" on MAX for two seasons, where viewers watched her try to make a name for herself in the world of luxury Los Angeles real estate working with her fellow agents at Douglas Elliman.

The reality star confirmed in January that the series was not renewed for a third season.

Wilkinson recently revealed that she had a major panic attack last September and thought she was going to die.

"I was in a state of panic. I didn't know what was going on in my head and my body or why I was crying," she told PEOPLE. "I had hit rock bottom."

Wilkinson explained that she was "dying of depression" and felt like she was "hitting the end of my life."

While it's been 20 years since she was one of Hugh Hefner's girlfriends on the reality show "Girls Next Door," it's only recently that she began to work through the damage that was done to her life during her time in the Playboy world.

Talking about her mental health, she brought up the damage that living in the Playboy world did to her.

"It's not easy to look back at my 20s. I've had to face my demons," she said. "Playboy really messed my whole life up."

After being hospitalized for her depression and anxiety, Wilkinson began outpatient therapy three times a week at UCLA, where professionals helped her heal unresolved trauma from her time living in Hefner's mansion, as well as her divorce from Baskett.

"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," Wilkinson said. "I was giving up and I couldn't find the light. I had no hope."

Wilkinson worked to move on from her past and heal so she could be a fully present mom to her children. Being estranged from family and many friends, she felt like she couldn't trust people after her divorce.

"It was so scary for me to go through. I wasn't focusing on myself or my mental health," she said. "Here I was a single mom and I've been alone for years now. But it's also easy to feel like the world is caving in on you. I was trying to fight it on my own. I was trying to cure it on my own and you can't do that."

Feeling like she wasn't "strong enough to survive," she used to think, "God, take me."

"To accept medication was the hardest thing to do," she said. "It meant I had to accept that I have some mental illness, and I didn't want to have to do that."

The reality star's tough days began when she was just a teenager. She was on drugs at the age of 15 and fought other demons as well. At 18, she moved into the Playboy mansion and began her high-profile career.

"I really got into deep regret [afterward]. I struggled with depression before and at the mansion," she explained. "I drank a lot. I was there for the partying, okay, let's just be real. I was not there for Hugh Hefner to be my boyfriend."

Living that life in the mansion brought Wilkinson to self-sabotage and poor self-esteem. Digging deep into her past meant pushing herself to heal from it all. And now, she uses the lessons of her past to help her raise her children.

"I see loopholes in my life that I'm trying to correct now so my daughter doesn't have to experience what I did at a young age," she said.

"As a mom, I look back at what happened to where I felt like I had to date an older man at the age of 18. What brought me to that point? These are the things I'm trying to correct in my parenting for my daughter."
