The bloke's probably in his comfort zone doing what he does.
The same routine day after day is his "shelter". Probably makes him feel "normal" if he's been doing this for a long time. But, as you say, he's not right.  Poor chap. |

mart your 19.10 post,what the fark has that got to do with mental health? To many people look at people with mental helath problems as someone,walking around with a long knife in their hands covered in blood.Many differing forms of mental health problems and most not very nice for the person suffering from them.
Please dont mix up p0nces with people with real problems,sorry for rant |
