Managed to get some writing done, but I'm still concerned about my characters being unbelievable--as in unrealistic.

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I've been very nauseated the last few weeks, sometimes all day long - not very pleasant

Be smart. I'm the kind of guy that would honestly fall for it if someone said they wanted to be my "friend" and promised me something if I did some stupid/illegal thing for them.Anxious. I need a full time job but the only option is one where it's 10 hours a day with onl half an hour lunch break, assembling parts. I can't do that.
ETA: I'm very introverted and easily exhausted that even after eight hours, I'm too emotionally and physically drained that the thought of moving makes me want to cry. Not to mention a friend of mine--a term I use very loosely--works there and she's even more draining and wants me to go over to her and her boyfriends house every after work. And I don't trust her friends. At all. Any of them. Ever meet someone and get a gnawing feeling they're not a good person? And then get proved right? Yeah. That's them. One of them honestly seems like the type to take advantage of someone while they're high/drunk/passed out, and one of them has.

I'm going to college soon, and I'm slightly worried someone could deceive me like that.
Thanks. I guess I'm worried that someone will offer me booze, drugs or sex, and I will feel "rude" for saying no.Yeah. She herself isn't a bad person, and her boyfriend is probably the only good and stable person in her life. I keep coming up with excuses and I feel bad but her friends are just a no go. And I'm generally an open person who can easily be friends with anyone from any walk a life, regardless of opinions and beliefs. Maybe I'm being too judgemental.
One of the nice things about the (general) population is that they understand the word "No" or "I'm not interested." and don't bring it up and like you said, you gotta be smart. When I visited a friend in Houston, he offered me a beer and I told him I didn't drink and he never brought it up again.Go with your gut instict, at least, that's what I do. And join clubs with people who share the same interests. Idk your denomination, but most campuses have a church somewhere close by (the one in my city is also a coffee shop, I go ghere sometimes because it's cheap and good). I wasn't very active when I was going to community college, but I met people with a shared interest in anime, history, and languages. If I got a bad feeling from them, I'd keep things impersonal. There's actually not as much peer pressure as people make it seem I just have a friend who has a bad habit of getting into the wrong crowd.
Yeah, my brother says stuff to me like that, too. So being on the receiving end of it I can relate to it being annoying. But I don't think I'd cry about it. I've probably said stuff like it, too, so don't feel too bad. Just do your best to not say stuff like that later onIrritated. I never knew how passive-aggressive I was until my supervisor called me out on it today. She was like, "You made so and so cry. You're really passive-aggressive, you know that? I don't have a problem with it, but could you try not to do that?" I was like, "??? What do you mean?" she pointed out with one of the people who works with us, someone who makes every issue about him, that whenever he says something, I make some off-hand, kind of mean comments towards him and about his behavior without ever saying it.
Like, "Oh yes. Because you've totally never been rude to customers before, huh? You being called up into that office was just undeserved and that you should just be exempt from all punishments?" which was something of my most recent comments. I shouldn't do that, but eh. I've made him cry by being honest, and I know I can be mean in my honesty but this kid doesn't get it if you sugar coat things. I mean, I did half apologize. Half as in, "Sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry or come off as mean."
I'm just gonna watch cartoons for the rest of the night. I'm too emotionally exhausted. Have too much to do tomorrow (call police department about cat, call all my doctors about different things, gotta do laundry) and don't wanna do anything besides sleep and forcibly cuddle with one of my cats.
