To all writers who like to put Trauma onto there OC
My therapist recommended, 'Let your book characters suffer, so that you don't need to put all the stress onto yourself.'
This means MAKE IT DARKER .
DESTROY THE LIFE OF YOUR OC.
DESTROY THEIR MENTAL HEALTH
Because it can help you not to destroy yourself (or maby a bit atleast)

“We started it. We started it with the occupation, and we are duty-bound to end it—a real and complete ending. We started the violence. There is no violence worse than the violence of the occupier, using force on an entire nation, so the question about who fired first is therefore an evasion meant to distort the picture.”
― Gideon Levy, The Punishment of Gaza , 2010.

“For now she need not think of anybody. She could be herself, by herself. And that was what now she often felt the need of - to think; well not even to think. To be silent; to be alone. All the being and the doing, expansive, glittering, vocal, evaporated; and one shrunk, with a sense of solemnity, to being oneself, a wedge-shaped core of darkness, something invisible to others... and this self having shed its attachments was free for the strangest adventures.”
― Virginia Woolf, To the Lighthouse
Painting: "La table dressée au bord du lac" by Marcel Rieder
