We were talking about the struggle of getting survival information and skills, because the abusers gatekeep that information and lie about how tough it is to survive out there, so I'm going to open up my askbox today specifically for those seeking information about survival and life skills! It doesn't matter what age you are, if you have a question and nobody to ask to explain it to you, I'll give my best. There's some things I don't know, and in that case, maybe one of the readers will be able to answer instead of me.
I know these are all researcheable on the internet, but we're often shut down and discouraged from even doing research, and it's easier to ask someone to tell you what they know and think, to get an idea without having to do extensive research. I also welcome anyone who learned a lot from a specific resource, to share the resource! Sometimes just being pointed to the right resource helps a lot.
It's anonymous, so it doesn't matter what age you are, I'm going to assume you're all young and just trying to get some basic info, no question is too dumb or ignorant, and if I don't know the answer, at least you can be sure not to be told off or that 'you should know this'. Nobody has information materialize inside of their brain out of nothing, and everyone has the right to ask. For me it has been healing to be able to ask questions and get answers, and I want everyone to at least have that experience. And you can ask about whatever, if you think you have a medical issue and aren't sure if it's serious, you can ask that. If you're lost about how finances work, I only know about my own country's situation so I can tell you what I'm familiar with. (I'm not in the US so I can't tell you how things work over there).
I'll only do this for today, feel free to send messages in the next 24 hours.
