How does it feel when you got no food

It feels terrible to have no food. It is a feeling of emptiness, both physically and emotionally. You may feel weak, tired, and irritable. You may also feel anxious, stressed, and depressed. You may be worried about how you are going to feed yourself and your family. You may also feel ashamed and embarrassed that you are unable to provide for yourself.

If you are struggling to put food on the table, there are resources available to help you. You can contact your local food bank or soup kitchen. You can also apply for government assistance, such as food stamps or unemployment benefits. There are also many charities that provide food to those in need.

It is important to remember that you are not alone. There are many people who are struggling to make ends meet. There are resources available to help you. Please reach out for help if you need it.The stigma of begging is a real problem. It can make it difficult for people to get the help they need. There are a few things we can do to help one another and break down the stigma of begging:

  • Be kind and compassionate. When you see someone begging, remember that they are a human being in need. They may be struggling with addiction, mental illness, or poverty. Treat them with kindness and compassion.
  • Don’t judge. Don’t judge someone based on their circumstances. You don’t know what they’ve been through or what they’re going through.
  • Offer help. If you see someone begging, offer to help them. You can offer them food, water, or money. You can also offer to help them find resources or services.
  • Educate others. Talk to your friends, family, and community about the stigma of begging. Help them to understand that people who beg are not lazy or worthless. They are simply people in need.

By taking these steps, we can help to break down the stigma of begging and make it easier for people to get the help they need.
