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
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
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
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
