Miranda Lambert opens up about her 'through the roof' anxiety and how she is coping

By Danielle Long

Miranda Lambert opened up in a post about COVID-19.

The country singer took to Instagram to give an update on her life, including her struggles with anxiety and how she is doing her part to practice social distancing.

"I haven’t really known what to say on social media during all this," she admitted. "Tuesday of this week is when I finally realized I could unpack. For the next few months for me there are no shows, no sound checks, no bus calls, no flights. Just home. Once I processed it, I actually got a feeling of peace even though, like all of us, my anxiety about the sate of the world right now is still through the roof."

I haven’t really known what to say on social media during all this. I’m not great at socials anyway and a time like this makes it that much more difficult for me to figure out how to be. Tuesday of this week is when I finally realized I could unpack. For the next few months for me there are no shows, no sound checks, no bus calls, no flights. Just home. Once I processed it, I actually got a feeling of peace even though , like all of us, my anxiety about the sate of the world right now is still through the roof. I’ve started working on some projects around the farm that I kept running from because I had to leave for work and some I’ve wanted to run from because organization is not my fav. Ive been having some pretty cool virtual happy hours with friends and family. Brendan and I have been cooking, cleaning, working out (some virtual classes but not enough @b.w.fitness @willowpilatesstudio 😬) spending time with dogs and horses and just being together quietly . Well besides the country music constantly coming through the speakers. I have written a few songs for the first time in a year. And text writing a cowgirl song with @ronniedunn (such a fan girl of B&D). Today I spent most of the day thanking Jesus that the sun was out. The baby chicks are about to move into their new coop and that’s about all the news we have around here for the time being. We miss our road family, New York family and I dang sure miss my Texas fam. My soul sister @apes_1983 just had her first baby yesterday, baby Finn, and we only get to see him through a screen for now. I wish I was there in person. Soon enough good Lord willin. But in happy news, this box arrived today and I felt my heart jump. Some wine from @red55winery , freshly canned salsa, apple butter, Paw Paws bbq sauce, and a note on napkin. “Sending love from home. love mom and dad (be safe). I do feel safe now knowing that even though they are over 600 miles away I’m connected to all of them. Sending light to all the first responders and health care workers. Stay home. Call home

Lambert shared the different projects she plans to tackle around the house during this downtime as well as how she'll keep up with her fitness. It's not all chores and tasks though. She also revealed that fans will likely have some new music to look forward to once things get back to business as usual.

"I have written a few songs for the first time in a year," the 36-year-old divulged adding that she's been working with Ronnie Dunn of the dissolved duo Brooks & Dunn.

While Lambert's plans seem like she's going to remain productive, it doesn't take the place of being close to the people she cares about.

"We miss our road family, New York family and I dang sure miss my Texas fam," she wrote.

Despite the distance between Lambert and her loved ones, she's thankful that she's still connected to all of them and ended the note with a shout-out to all of the hard-working medical teams.

"Sending light to all the first responders and health care workers. Stay home. Call home," she urged.
