From people who came through it

  • โ€œFor 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€

  • โ€œI 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€

  • โ€œI 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€

  • โ€œIf 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€
