It sounds like the isolation is really making a very tough situation even worse. Yes? If you grew up in ND or not, its probably best to figure out how to get out of there. I know. Easy for me to say. But you have to be mobile. What would tell someone else to do? Where would you tell them to start looking? Who can they call to stay with? Would you tell them to get on a job website like Indeed and start looking far and wide? It sucks I know. But look at all these people who leave everything behind and travel 10,000 miles to come here? Look around. Where will things be where you are six months from now? If not good, start selling stuff, whatever. But another brutal winter up there will be unbearable. Trust me. I know. Good luck man. You've got the skills. You need to go where they are in demand and appreciated.
