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
โI was in the same place in 2022. It was the end of the month and I couldn't see past it. This year I did a 5k, slowly. The bad days get further apart. You're not on your own.โ
โI know it feels like you're the only one. I was a bank manager, for heaven's sake, and I still had to use the food bank. The shame is the worst part, but it's not yours to carry. Start small: open one letter, ask about a payment plan, find out where the food bank is. No one there will judge you. And if you have kids, they won't remember the tough weeks as much as they'll remember you were there. It does get better, slowly.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
