Most will lead you in the right direction.

While leaning on this type of help is not easy, it does take some emotional pressure of you so you can deal with your BP more effectively.

Keep me posted. Send me a PM if you want. Hang in there, I know you can do it.
I have. There are a couple of thrift places near me, but the closest food pantry I know of is a bit of a drive. I'll make it if I have to, though, even if it's just for basic things (I haven't been out of college so long that I've forgotten how to survive off creative uses for ramen, lol). I'm also starting to feel better which is helping a lot with motivation, so there's that - I've had a good couple of days.

Just filed an application for food stamps, waiting on that to go through. *crosses fingers*
