Danielle Colby Credits Unlikely Drink For Mental Health Boost

American Pickers star Danielle Colby has been open about her reproductive health. Now, she’s getting candid about her mental health struggles. The reality star shared another update with her fans. She admitted that she’s struggled with anxiety after undergoing surgery this week.

Danielle was diagnosed with uterine fibroids. It caused severe pain and inconsistent periods. Danielle suffered from it for several months. She credited her OB/GYN and hospital staff for nursing her back to health. Since then, she’s dealt with the anxiety and stress of getting sick again.

She credited an unlikely drink for helping with her mental health struggles.

Danielle Colby talks about anxiety

On Friday, October 28, Danielle Colby shared a selfie of herself holding up a can to the camera. The History Channel star talked about her struggles with anxiety. She credited the Kombucha drink she was holding in the photo for easing her mental health. It’s an unlikely way to cope with anxiety.

However, Danielle can’t find herself without it. She notices a difference whenever she drinks it. She opened up about the mental health struggles she dealt with since having surgery. Danielle has kept a can of Kombucha by her bedside as she recovers.

“Often times [SIC] when we are in a state of heightened awareness about our physical health we can tend to have anxiety, and fear can rise like the tides,” Danielle Colby wrote in the lengthy caption of her Instagram post. “I’ve been having a lot of these moments struggling with the anxiety and fear through this.”

Of course, everyone is different and Kombucha won’t help everyone with their mental health. Danielle also informed her fans that she’s “not asking for medical advice.” She’s already getting all the help she needs from the medical staff. The reality star hinted that her “road to recovery” will be a “long and winding one.”

The future of American Pickers is unclear

Meanwhile, the future of American Pickers is unclear. It may take Danielle Colby a long time to recover and get back on the road again. She’s one of the few original cast members left alongside Mike Wolfe. They were part of the show since its inception with former cast member Frank Fritz.

The History Channel fired Frank from the show in 2020. He suffered a massive stroke in July. He’s currently under a conservatorship and also has a long road to recovery ahead of him. On September 6, Frank entered a rehabilitation center.

Fans wonder what this could mean for the long-running reality series. Ratings have plummeted in the past few months alone. History Channel hasn’t aired new episodes for some time. Rumors swirl that it could get canceled.
