I had anger issues for a very long time,

to the point I would have
physical altercations with people.

It was turning inward

and it was kind of destroying
who I was as a person,

but I got really good at hiding
that from a lot of people.

If people that I was in the services

right now where to see this,

they would be really surprised,

because that was not
the outward appearance

I gave to people.

I gave this positive, you know,

let's get the job done
and do what we need to do

kind of person.

But internally, I was depressive.

I had anxiety.

I had insomnia.

At some points, I had
binge drinking problems,

and then I also had suicidal
thoughts for a long time.
