So, one of my characters has been suffering from chronic pain for several years, and as the title suggests, the pain is so bad that anything that would pleasurable (ie. laundry that's fresh from the dryer, the sensation of running your hand through freshly buzzed hair, your bed when you wake up in the morning, when you're snuggled up in your blanket and your feet feel just the right amount of cold, or snuggling a cat or dog), or really just anything at all, feels like nothing.

Anyway, I was wondering how exactly this sort of thing would affect my character. So far, I'm certain that he'd be facing things like depression and $u1c1d@l [1d3@t10n](mailto:1d3@t10n). Because of this, he's quite envious of others not living in constant pain, and he will sometimes ask someone, "Tell me, [insert name here], how are ya feelin'?"

I just want to know if there's anything else that I should add because I feel like I might be missing something, and I hate leaving things unfinished (In fact, I have to regularly remind myself that I'm still on my first draft so that I can continue actually working on my book). I appreciate any help that can be given.

TL;DR, One of my characters has been living in constant agony for years. Besides depression and certain contemplations, what else would he likely be mentally suffering from because of all that? I want to make sure I'm not missing nor overlooking anything.

Edit: I recently realized that I misread... a lot of things prior to making this post... I apologize for any offense I've caused.

so the story i'm writing has a japanese murderer that is put on death row and executed. from what i know about japan's execution system (giving little to no prior notification to the condemned) i assume that the families of the condemned/their victims are also not notified, but what about after the execution? what is the protocol for notifying the families of a murderer and their victims after they are executed in japan?

Within my story, the MC goes unconscious during a fairly modern day adjacent gun fight. I previously had two ideas for the reasoning, one being a bullet wound and the other being a gas released into the air.

I'm very flexible on the "injury" itself, but what is more important to the story is the events that follow. I need MC to begin losing consciousness/awareness within about 5 minutes of the event and to be fully unconscious/unaware within about 10 minutes. At that point, somebody (part of the enemy– as this was semi planned) arrives with the ability to administer basic medical care. She is immediately taken to a medical wing and given treatment enough to recover, but not be completely comfortable. I'm looking at about 1-2 weeks until she is able to function normally, closer to 3-4 weeks until she can be regularly mobile, and about 5-6 weeks until she is able to go back into physical training. I had the idea that during the first 1-3 weeks, her captors are able to bargain with her for information using a pain killer, but I'm not sure about this.

Would love to hear ideas on the injury/action that could line up with all of this and what the week 1-6 recovery following would look like. Thanks in advance!!

(If you saw my other post, this is an updated version to get the answers I need haha, as the last post's comments got stuck on a detail that rightfully needed to be fixed)

I'm working on a prison drama comic series located on an American prison, the state will likely be Texas. I have some question regarding prison gangs, which I know are mostly organized among ethnic lines.

Are there non-White supremacist White gangs?

In what gang do White Hispanics normally go? Do they enter Hispanic gangs or White gangs if any?

What about Jewish inmates? Can they enter some of the white supremacist ones, another, non or have their own?

Are there gangs based on religion over race? Like Muslim gangs that would operate on people of different ethnicites as long as they're Muslim?

There's very little information online about Native American gangs, at least compare with other ethnicites. Wonder if there's some input about them that someone can provide.

Do mafia groups likes Russian and Italian mafia maintain a certain gang-like organization or have outright gangs?

Are there any either multi-ethnic or non-ethnically based gangs? Like of political, sexual orientation or social groups.

Thanks in advance and I know I make a lot of question sorry for that. I already have been doing research but this particular topics seem to be evasive on most bibliography. As for example regarding Black, Latino and White supremacist gangs there's plenty of info which make easy the research.

I was able to find stuff about the 2 engineer companys, but how are the signal, intelligence and HQ/ HQ company organized?

thanks
