Not saying OP does not need help in some fashion, just not sure what.

Oh, my dear BudFox. I think we all know that psychosis happens because the brain is trying to protect the person from their reality. It's like with autoimmune disorders with the way the immune system reacts to healthy body tissue by attacking and destroying it, because it is unable to distinguish it from an antigen. The immune system "thinks" it is doing its job, but it is actually causing harm. The same applies here; the brain has created a perception of reality that is harmful to eden. With treatment, these things can improve. Without treatment, your body, or your brain, will eventually destroy you.
I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve with this comment, but I wrote mine because I want to help eden. If you want to criticise me for that, go right ahead. It doesn't faze me.
