Writing character with dysthymia.
I know that there was one post about writing a character with dysthymia, but mine is little diffrent, so I'm here to check if I'm portraying her correctly
(just wanted to tell that it's warrior cats pbp blog character, but the mental disorders these characters have are based on human ones, not on real cats.)
Basically, she is autistic and has no traumas (maybe except constantly thinking about a friend who died in a flood right before her eyes when they were both very young (the friend was a kitten at the time, while she herself had just become an apprentice)). Her struggles intensified following a long period of untreated insomnia. She has a place in the clan and a partner, yet she finds interacting with others difficult. She feels she ought to know the cats in her clan, but she sometimes mixes up their names or cannot recall them at all.
She tries to remain cheerful, but her thoughts often drift to friends she hasn't spoken to in ages or to relationships that faded away through her own fault. She is constantly nagged by the feeling that she is doing something wrong, though when an event excites her, she is able to simply enjoy it without overthinking things.

Oh, and she have trust issues (trusts too much)
PS. I used google translate to correct some things. Hope it's understandable!
