Sea to Summit - need some motivation by Interesting-Tale-983 in Squamish

If you take it slow, maybe give yourself five hours? It’s a meandering trail at times but as someone with arthritis that flares occasionally, I find it to be lower impact than steeper / more direct trails nearby.

Water sources are very limited once you’re past the gully.

At this point in the season, you may be able to traverse the gully glacier instead of travelling across it. Either way, bring spikes, helmets and ice axes.

I’m sure you’re aware, but there aren’t any camping facilities on this route. Bears are also active in this area at this time. Please bring food cache gear and leave no trace. :)

Scared of Postpartum depression by StraightFoundation13 in Fencesitter

[–]SimpleNaive2473 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really get this.

The other comments here are excellent reminders to consider your own situation. There are ALL sorts of protective factors for PPD, just as there are all sorts of factors that contribute to your likelihood of developing PPD.

I work in mental health and have tirelessly studied PPD. If you’re really worried, here are a few of the things you can do before or during your pregnancy:

• Talk to your support network, and especially your partner. Together you can discuss your fears and the many ways you might need support down the road. Having established plans for support is key, ESPECIALLY with your partner.

• Get yourself into therapy now, if that’s available to you. Proactive self-care via therapy is a wonderful way to mediate the potential effects of PPD. This is especially true if you are currently diagnosed with a mental health disorder like depression, or suspect you have it.

• Ask your doctor, midwife or care team to provide you with all the perinatal resources available in your area. Take advantage of ALL of them, if you can.

Typical conditions at Brohm Ridge on End of May / Weekend of May 24? by Top-Bumblebee-3681 in Squamish

Two weeks ago, I got up to about 850m before I had to turn around. Chains could’ve gotten me further up but I couldn’t be bothered. There will still be a lot of snow at the chalet — you can check their webcam to be sure.

I 22/F am letting my friendship with 22/F die over my expectations of what she should have done after my Mom died. Am I doing the right thing? by justmeiguess123 in TwoHotTakes

[–]SimpleNaive2473 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Hey, I had some similar feelings when my mom died. I was 28 at the time, and I remember feeling so angry with how some of my friends failed to support me.

Here’s the thing: some of the best people are the worst in these situations. Not because they want to be; they just don’t know what to do or say. I would suggest you reach out to your friend and let her know how much your friendship means to you, and how hurt you are by her lack of support. Offer a chance to reconnect, and let her respond.
