Ep. 81 - Dealing with Depression on the Homestead - with Homestead Padre

Homesteaders have their share of trials: Garden/Crop failure, predator attacks, sick animals, not enough rain, too much rain, hail that beats your crop to the ground, stuff that worked last year doesn't work this year.Homestead Padre makes a significant amount of his income from selling his produce and baking and selling bread at the farmer's market. His big baking stove broke down.Some (real) homesteaders often live lives of modest means, and these things can be devastating.We talk about dealing with trials and depression.Faith gets us through these times.Sometimes you just have to embrace the suck.Pride is sometimes the reason for depression - "why is this happening to me? This shouldn't happen to me!".Disclaimer - This is not medical advice. It's just two guys talking about our trials. If you are having troubles, talk to someone, and get help.
