I'm actually sort of happy that I'm ill because it means I'm barely eating anything, which means the food in the house will last far longer, which means I don't have to spend money on groceries for a while.
^The fact that I can say that and be completely serious about it worries me.
I've worried myself a few times like that, actually. For instance - in order to go out Christmas shopping or get to the post office or go to the Goddamn CAB so I can get my benefits sorted out, I have to get a bus down to the precinct. I'm reluctant to do this because the bus fare is roughly 6 meals worth of money and it just doesn't seem worth it.
When you count money by how much food you can get with it, that's worrying. When you lose your appetite and are happy about it because it saves you money, that's worrying.
I reiterate, guys, welfare is NOT a lifestyle choice. This is not any kind of 'life'. This is existing, and struggling to do that.
