A lot of kind folk have given a lot of helpful advice.
Some of us, like myself, are just self taught -learn as you go.
Last week I watched a movie from the library, "A Street Cat Named Bob" it's an incredible true story about a formally homeless man, in the UK.
Anyway, I wish you well ASS-P. We are just trying to help, in the limited way we're able to.

Also you yourself are the one who basically said you need hands on significant support.

What make of phone do you have? The internet browser on the phones I’ve had let you have more than one screen open at a time - they just cover each other up until you press in the corner of the screen. You might have a lot open and not realize it!

...Yes, I did, thank.you
I am now in.the same shelter situation I was in.last. It's decent as a facility, but it just foesn't allow me enough rest , and I'm having to.walk around all day again, especially exhausting myself now with a heavy duffle bag . The hospital treated me, but was - briefly n-- inefficient;bureaucratic involving my pills - I have none now - and was not offering much/" oh. it's chronic ". regarding my illnesses/declining health .

This has been readily and freely available to you for years, perhaps decades.

Libraries do offer classes so that is an option or maybe there is some program in your area focused on helping homeless people with skills. But you'd have to look into it.
Its kind of a hands on sort of thing, so it would be very hard for anyone to teach someone computer skills over a text forum like this.

.Of course you can do something with those. You have a phone, so you can call those numbers to get more information about resources that can help you.
Also it may be better to get a smaller back pack than the duffel bag for things you need to carry with you. They do make back packs with a front strap to take some of the pressure off your back. Then maybe you can leave some of your stuff in the big duffel bag in the storage place and take the more necessary items with you in your back pack.
