Mental health
Anybody else here struggle? I’ve accomplished almost everything I’ve ever wanted. Managed a ranch, been a cowboy, done the feedlot thing, served in the military, hell I had a handful of my own cows for a minute but I just struggle day to day with myself. At first I wrote it off as burnout but the longer I go on the worse it gets. To the point I have trouble getting out of bed and when I finally do I’m usually in a bad mood. I can’t imagine doing anything else for a living and I don’t want to raise my kids anywhere other than the ranch. I’m very good at what I do and most days the cattle are what keeps me going. This lifestyle has ruined relationships and a marriage for me and I’m not sure if it’s even worth trying to find a good woman anymore. None of them want a man that works this way and the ones that think they do tuck tail and run come calving season. I’ve struggled with alcohol for a long time and I’m sure that has contributed to it greatly. Not looking for a therapist here just trying to get some stuff off my chest and see if I’m alone out here or if there’s other folks here feeling the same way or fighting the same demons.
