โHello from the other side of it. I was right where you are not that long ago, about a year. The worst part was embarrassed at school about lunches. I laugh properly again. Bit by bit it comes back. You've got this, even if it doesn't feel like it.โ
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
โif youre where i was in september, the shame is the worst part. i promise you, half the people around you are doing the same math. find the food bank, find the market at closing time. tell one person, even if it feels huge. and eat something today, even if its small. i still count coins but i dont skip lunch every day now. thats something.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
