What made you return home after your long walks? Is there anything I can do to get him to not leave or to come home sooner than he does?
I don't think anything could get me to not leave because it was like a compulsion to leave and go outside and just walk. What made me come home? Hunger, thirst, physical things like that. It was probably very annoying for my parents. But they seemed to tolerate it as they knew it was something that I needed to do. It was like out of my control. But now that I'm medicated and on an antipsychotic I don't do it. I will just walk for like an hour and come home.
