Have you considered scraping together money for a bus ticket to Edmonton?

This city sucks ass but there is a LOT of work here. My SO and I were both able to find work within a month of being here. Calgary isn't getting better any time soon and with this weather at least a job could guarantee some warmth. If you can make it, come north as soon as you can.

Calgary is so fucked right now. I looked for 3+ months HARD for work, I'm talking like 30+ resumes a week... Couldn't find anything even in retail either.

Stay warm. It's supposed to get better next week. Good luck.

You would probably be really good at ping pong because hand eye coordination... or bouldering since you got that arm strength. Ever tried either?

This may sound pretty simplistic, but I was wondering if you could give me any basic advice on supporting a partner with PTSD and suicidal thoughts? My SO struggles and sometimes I don't know how to phrase things when I'm trying to "check in" with him. I've been told I ask him too often "how are you doing?" which makes sense because it's a bit general and vauge way of phrasing it (and usually gets a short, positive answer). If you have any advice on how I can "check in" with him in a way where he can feel like he's prompted to give a meaningful answer that would be amazing!
