“If you look back through the lineage of MCs with mental conditions, they are all ?full-on? problems.”
First, I don’t disagree with you, Nir Shelter, however I do want to offer a different point. In real life people have varying situations of their mental illness. I think not taking it to the extreme might be able to offer a realistic take on mental illness, that it’s not just ‘crazy’ people.

(on a similar note I think FX’s Legion looks to be a great addition into the X-Men universe, which deals with mental illness)

See lessTry finding a specific outline online. One that goes through every beat, a cookie-cutter three-act inciting incident at 15 minute mark outline. Then fill it in and write a rough draft, no editing, just whatever comes out. Then after a rough draft cut stuff and edit.
Something else I do is make a plot sheet, detailing every main and subplot. And then I break it down into three parts and how the plots progress. And every morning I write a summary?of what I’m going to write later that day.
