I'm really feel the pinch (as are alot of families in this country). Just curious, how are people surviving without having to constantly rely on foodbanks and WINZ?

For background, single working mum here. After daycare, rent and other bills goes out, im left with eff all. A few emergencies recently left me having to choose between rent and food so got behind on a couple bills.

I can't keep living like this. Would love to hear your thoughts

37, F. Solo mum to 2 kids. Genuinely don't want to be here. Have sought help but no one's come through for me.

I have no food in cupboards, can't get through to WINZ and my family can't help me. I have no transport to get to a food bank. I'm too embarrassed to ask friends. Last time I reached out to work friends for a shoulder to cry on, gossip spread through the office like wildfire. So I'm scarred from that experience.

I don't have any other friends to turn too.

I don't know if I can carry on.
