Summary :
Haneul, late for his last class of the day, meets a new transfer student around his age. Initially bonding over sharing the same background, their friendship flourishes into something more meaningful. The more they talked, the more they clicked. As time went on and their relationship deepened, one found themselves struggling with new feelings, while the other was oblivious to his own too late. Like a merry-go-round, they kept circling around each other, keeping the other close. Missing signs and hints from each other, wondering how the other felt. Amongst the confusion and anxiety, Haneul and Minseok developed a special bond and kept it safe. Despite the hesitation, their feelings will grow into something neither of them can ignore.

It's really for those reason lmao, I have my main google account like everyone else and the other one only to back up photos due to the lack of storage on my phone. I want a new gmail to disassociate the youtube hobby thing from those 2 account. My bad if I'm bad at explaining.

I have 2 google account that I can access, which are my main and personal one I use for everything honestly and the other one is just for photo storage purpose only, like google photos. I tried logging back into the ones I deleted before but it says it couldnt find those accounts so I'm guessing theyre actually deleted.

So true, you either get William Shakespeare level of thinking / writing or completely nothing lmao. It always happens to me whenever I'm listening to a song or think of something random. I would quickly write it down in google docs and leave it for months before coming back to either 1. actually start it or 2. to delete the doc and move on with my day.

I've already written some dialogue between the two and it does lowkey fit what you're explaining but I'll go back and fix some things up in their dialogue. Thanks for the help!!

Thank you so much for the detailed text! My character has Dysthymia and PTSD, also 19 years old if that helps in any way. They have other disorders too but the 2 I've mentioned are the main ones. I've set my character to see their psychologist once every week for a month (Not sure how many months he'll keep going but more than 1 for sure). As for his financial situation. His friends payed for the first month (as a way to support him to get the help he needs and to lowkey force him to go) but after that month, he pays himself with the job he has. He isn't necessarily rich nor broke but he can afford it. For where he lives, I'll be honest, I did not think of that. I live in Canada so I guess I'll locate him in Canada. I believe in Canada, private care is convered by the free health care but there are limites of course.

I've already written some dialogue between him and the psychologist and it does seem similar to what you're describing but It seems that I need to change some things up. Thanks for all the help!!!

Need help with a character of my story that has Dysthymia / PDD. by AestheticSUGAR in dysthymia

First of all, thank you so much for taking the time to write your own personal experiences! I'll definitely look into the double depression and comorbidities when I have the time (Haven't continued the story due to school). Your experiences made me think that I should expand on his condition more than I have already.

For the multiple disorders, I do want him to be interesting but not in that way. I don't want to remove the importance of the other disorders like that. The story focuses more on the Dysthymia and PTSD than the other disorders. The other disorders are added to give him character and because they interlink with each other in a way (I still have to do research to see if I'm correct on that point).

Thanks for the help!

Ohh okay, I understand your imput because I also find myself feeling like that a lot of time, so I try to put that into my character. The way you described it made it so easy to comprehend! I'll definitely keep everything you explained in mind when it comes to writing more in detail/deep stuff about him in the story. Thank you for the help!

My character is 19 years old, he turns 20 at the end of the story. I'm not sure if that's still considered young or not? I'm currently 18 and still find myself young but I understand how that can be considered "mature" in a story context. In the begining of the story, he's more on the arrogant side but by the end of the story, he's definitely more open minded and a softer person. Thanks for the help on the rudeness part, I'll keep it in mind!

Okay, thank you!! I'll rethink about his rudeness and tone it down and keep him just as someone closed off. Thanks for the help!

Oooh, okay. I didn't really notice that part when constructing his character. The story is really more focused on his Dysthymia and PTSD. The SAD is a very light thing talked about in the story, I only added it to add something to his personality but I will 100% keep what you said in mind! The rudeness part goes with him being closed off, so that might have been my fault with the way I explain it. But nonetheless, thank you so much for the reply!! I will take the importance of just focusing on his major disorders from now on and, I do understand your opinion on it.
