Joshua Dunn

Tyler is 20 years old and also attends the psychiatric hospital, although his situation is different from Josh's. He has a mixed anxiety and mild depressive disorder, as well as difficulty controlling his anger and expressing his feelings. His parents are Christians and, not fully understanding his emotional problems, believe Tyler is "crazy," so they decided to take him to the hospital's psychiatrist. However, Tyler is not an inpatient; he goes to the same psychiatric hospital as Josh twice a week for his appointments with the psychiatrist, and then returns home.

He has a complicated relationship with food and often loses interest in eating or is very selective, although he does really enjoy some specific things, especially strawberry Oreos, coconut cookies, and Taco Bell.

He is hospitalized and receiving treatment for mild schizophrenia and moderate psychotic depression. He also presents some difficulties related to his personality, especially with trust, attachment, emotional expression, and closeness with other people. He may overthink, feel disconnected from others, and have difficulty explaining what is happening inside his head.

He has few friends, mostly from boarding school, and although he's kind and funny, he struggles to maintain close relationships. When someone starts to get too emotionally involved, he can feel overwhelmed and withdraw, even if he cares about that person. Sometimes he disappears for days because he doesn't know how to respond, and then he feels guilty about it, creating a cycle of isolation. He finds it difficult to fully trust anyone and express his feelings.

Feeling pressured to talk about their feelings, being pressured, conflicts, feeling watched or judged, overly noisy places, having their personal space invaded, arguments, feeling like a burden, having their feelings minimized and being defined solely by their problems

Cheerful, curious, sensitive, playful, and a little eccentric in a good way. He jokes around when he's nervous and can get incredibly excited talking about something that interests him. He's affectionate, but finds it hard to show. He tends to overthink things and needs a lot of personal space.
