The reality star is finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel following some major mental health struggles
I'm Enjoying Life Again

The clouds are finally lifting for Kendra Wilkinson. Since being hospitalized for a panic attack in September, the single mom (she shares Hank Jr., 14, and Alijah, 9, with ex-husband Hank Baskett) has been on antipsychotic medication and in therapy working through years of depression and trauma stemming partly from her time living in the Playboy Mansion as one of Hugh Hefner's girlfriends on Girls Next Door. Now, says the 38-yearold, "I'm having more fun. I'm enjoying life again." Here, the Kendra Sells Hollywood star, who recently attended the Children Uniting Nations 24th Annual Academy Awards Celebration & Viewing Dinner, talks to In Touch's Lindsay Hoffman about her struggle and the "new" Kendra.

How are you feeling?

KW: It's a healing process. It's going to be a long time, but I'm finding happiness and joy again, which is very exciting.
