I see, bad luck happens.

for how to get to the town, you need to play on either 0.2.0 or 0.2.1 (the current newest).

in the those there is also an item to let you escape. i'll let you figerout the rest of it.

"Look I don't know if it's because I'm bad at the game or not but it's too difficult! It spawns me right next to an enemy and I'm facing away from them,"...

You can use Shift on your keyboard to rotate without taking a turn allowing you to face the enemie or face away to wards an escape.

"so by the time I turn towards them they already have half my health gone and then I faint and get a game over 90% of the time."...

Using move's like Extreme speed to attack trough enemies is an offenive way to use it, but it can also be used to move yourself to a safer space or even trough walls if the is space on the other side.

An other option is to use an item in these types of Situations like: stun seeds, sleep seeds and blast seeds if there is one around you with the throw command. or the use of items like: slumber orb and spurn orb if there are multiple enemies.

Having atleast 1 'out of jail free card' on you can make you reach further if you also use it.

"so I never have money or any of the items I collected anymore,"...

Selling the obtained items at the shop can give you some room to improve, while slower it's still better than nothing. Just don't for get to put the left overs off the haul into you bank or storage.

"that's all before even leaving F1 mostly"

That is either overexaturated or really impressive as on early flours i find that enemies wait a turn before they do anything allowing you to buff or start of with a fight or just run away if you can make the distance.

The only tip after that is to just take your time, as the game is turn based, and expirement with new items just as much as learning to use diffrend moves and playstyle from Smeargle and the runes from Hazel the Braixen see what you like and can use against or with curses if you pick those type of missions.
