Venting I think I've begun tolerating hunger.

[Arb]

I've been put in a situation where there's is very little food left for me to eat, I haven't eaten in a few days and my weight is dropping quite fast. Ive lost approximately 12 pounds in a month and a half

Honestly I hope I can keep it up, die of starvation or something. If not then at least I'll be thinner again.

 

[opheliaoveragain]

can relate. my Ana has been at it recently.

unfortunately, starving to death isn't reliable there are too many factors for biological instinct to not kick in eventually.

sending you a hug.

If it's only the situation and you want to eat more, there are food banks and such almost everywhere

I've found it's awkwardly easy to get used to not eating anything. But there's probably a hard limit to that; as mentioned above, death by starvation would be a terrible idea, let alone relying on it.

It sounds like you may end up in a very painful situation so I really do hope the best for you right now

I've tried multiple of them, their phone lines are either dead, demands you show up to make a request, not even for getting the food (your request could be denied) which is physically difficult for me, or they don't call back when they claim to call back before a set time if you leave a message.

So this has become my resolve, I can't do much about it

Depending on where you are there are programs like meals on wheels. You do have to teach out but they deliver to your door and it's 1 decent meal a day. I've never heard of a food bank denying anyone but you do have to go get the food they don't usually deliver.

Meals on wheels isn't a thing where I live, and no I will not be doxxing my location so others can verify for me.

No one asked you to give your location. I'm just throwing out ideas. Sheesh.

I just figured I'd throw that out there since some people tend to insist on getting that info when trying to help, didn't mean to sound rude or abrasive

Are there any churches in your area that do outreach? Aside from Second Harvest, I think one of the local churches does the majority of the heavy lifting with feeding the needy. I'm an atheist, so I don't support their broader mission, but I can't fault them for the good they have done for the poor and homeless in my town.

Those churches here are part of the food bank programs that are impossible to reach at their given number. It's a shit show, it gives me a server error when calling and I've tried on multiple different days multiple time

I've call social help line today for any contact info and checking if maybe the phone number I had was wrong but it isn't

I'm really sorry. That really is a shit show. They sound very badly organized. I have heard that Feeding America might be able to assist in getting you in touch with someone. https://www.feedingamerica.org/contact

I also wonder if your health department could point you in the right direction. ER folk would probably know - I saw them consult social work a lot when I worked there - but then you would have to go to the ER.

I am really at a loss. I am sorry if you already tried these routes.
