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
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
โIf you're where I was, with the pasta and the payday loans and the shame, I want you to know it can get better. I'm not going to tell you it's easy. It's not. But the food bank is there and it's not charity, it's just help, and you're allowed to take it. Ask for the help. Tell one person. That's what I did and it didn't fix everything but it made it less heavy. And don't do what I did with the loans. Talk to someone first.โ
โIf you've just found this place, eighteen months ago I was exactly where you are. For me it was cheap pasta every night. Today I went for a walk and didn't cry once. The bad days get further apart. From someone who gets it.โ
