Lainey Wilson Shares Mental Health Battle and Therapy

Lainey Wilson's road to stardom has been a long one and marked by years of hardship, including anxiety and burnout.

The country star, 33, is opening up about the mental health struggles she’s faced along the way, telling People she once worked with three therapists at the same time to help set her back on course.

It 'helps me get a point across with a little bow wrapped on top, because if I really let my crazy side come out, I'd be saying things a little sideways,' she revealed.

It's come in handy especially on tour where 'you have 100 something people with you, and you're dealing with a lot of different personalities,' said Wilson, who recently revealed she's  ahead of her wedding to fiancé Devlin 'Duck' Hodges.

'I want it to be an environment that people want to come and work. I want people to want to stick around for 30, 40 years, however long we're out there getting it. So, she's just teaching me that side of things and how to set boundaries.'

The Heart Like a Truck singer, who discusses the topic in her upcoming documentary, : Keepin’ Country Cool, streaming on April 22, battled anxiety and early in her career.

She famously struggled for over 10 years after moving to Nashville in 2011 at age 19, living in a camper trailer and working as a Hannah Montana impersonator to survive. In 2018, she finally landed a major label deal.

A punishing radio schedule in 2019 pushed her to the brink and became a round-the-clock panic attack that lasted for days.

'I was going around meeting every radio station in America,' she told the outlet. 'You go into a conference room and you play your song and sometimes they're into it, sometimes they're on their phone, sometimes you're singing to the carpet.

'After four months solid visiting all these different radio stations, I was just exhausted and I was burned-out from having to constantly be on. I wanted to curl up in a little ball and shut the world out completely.'

Wilson also recently revealed she has frozen her eggs as she plans her wedding to fiancé, ex-NFL player Devlin 'Duck' Hodges (they are pictured in November 2025)
