Lena Dunham might reveal glimpses of her life through Jennifer Garner's character in HBO's 'Camping'

After Hannah, who depicted Dunham's early struggles as a writer, this time it seems to be Kathryn who will portray Dunham's mid-life crisis

Lena Dunham always thought she was going to die alone after the break up with Jack Antanoff. However, the 'Girls' actor has a way of channeling her frustration through her work and this time does it through the obsessively controlling Kathryn (played by Jennifer Garner) for her upcoming show 'Camping', set to release on October 14. Dunham has had a pretty tough last couple of years, and with 'Camping', we will probably get glimpses of Dunham's own anxiety reflecting in the show. 

During her recent appearance on the 'Today' show, Dunham explained to Hoda Kotb and Savannah Guthrie that making the decision to have a hysterectomy at the age of 31 was not something easy to do. As she had mentioned in her article on Vogue, that she was almost delirious with the pain which had only become unbearable with time.
