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 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
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
