โFor whoever is where I was: Two years ago, that was me. Embarrassed at school about lunches, every single day. I went on holiday in the summer and actually relaxed. It changes. It really does. xโ
โI was where you are eighteen months ago. For me it was cheap pasta every night. This week I went back to my evening class. The bad days get further apart.โ
โI am only a few months into this, so I don't have big answers. What I can say is you are not the only one skipping meals. I used to think everyone else had it figured out. They don't. Tell someone. A friend, a brother, anyone. I told my friend Joy and she didn't look at me differently. That helped more than I expected. The end of the month still comes, but I am not carrying it alone now. You don't have to either.โ
โIf you're at the start of this, I won't pretend it's easy so the first few months were the worst of my life, but I'm writing this from the other side, and some days now I forget to be sad. The council were useless until I put everything in writing. Go slowly.โ
