Not only were you reduced to existing on condiments instead of food, but by your own admission there were times you were reduced to stealing even that!
If you’re at a point you’re living on stolen ketchup and relish it’s time to swallow your pride and take advantage of the programs put in place to specifically help people avoid such a debased and degraded state - but you’d rather eat “napkin sandwiches” than be responsible and take proper care of yourself.
