I don't go to the mall.

I m not afraid of the dark in the movies

but there's people sitting

around you very close, all around you.

If had to get out of there, I don't know,

I want an avenue of escape.

I don't let people walk up behind me.

I don't go to the mall.

There's too many people walking around.

You feel like you're being watched and trapped.

I still feel that way.

But I don't think I've been to the movies in 15, 20 years.

I will not go.

It's too encompassing and you feel like they're closing

in on you and I'm sure that's from being in the jungle

and not knowing what's out there.

I don't feel comfortable in crowds.

It's just part of the PTSD deal.

And for me that's something I'm working on.

I'm trying to get out a little more.

I take my dog for a walk.

If somebody's coming down the sidewalk,

I cross over the other side of the street.

I don't want to talk to them.

I don't want to them getting too close.

That's not good.

I should be able to walk by them, say "Hi.

How are you doing?"

and let 'er go.

So I'm still working on it but I am working on it.
