Reality TV star Caitlyn Jenner says she considered committing suicide at one point during her gender transition.

Formerly known as Bruce Jenner, the gold medal Olympian Caitlyn opened up about her journey into finding herself on the latest episode of "Any Given Wednesday", reports hollywoodreporter.com.

Caitlyn said even though she was being pursued by paparazzi, she believed she could work around them, but felt she was proven wrong later.

"I always hated my Adam's apple; they (paparazzi) would never know (of operations)," she said.

Caitlyn explained to Simmons that as she was coming out of her doctor's office, having had an operation on her Adam's apple and someone got a photograph.

"I could not sleep that night. And I'm up at 3 a.m. walking up and down my hallways.. thinking, 'Damn, all this s**t is going to come out tomorrow and it's going to be horrible.' And I said, 'You know what, easy way, go in the other room, you got a gun, let's just end it right here.'"

She continued" "That's like, the easy way out. No more pain, no more nothing. I don't have to deal with the tabloids any longer. I don't have to deal with any of this. And that was probably the lowest I've ever gotten."
