This one time at work, it was a job I didn't really

like too much but I did it because I had to do it.

One day, it just seemed like everything was just too much.

I really hated it and I ended up going home early

and I felt the most intense throbbing on the top of my head.

And I just realized that, to me, it just seemed at that point

that whatever the reasons that I didn't like work,

whether it would be the people or the way things were done,

I didn't like it, but I couldn't handle it.

It was hard to suppress and I think the frustration all

of a sudden just added up and it just made me wanna blow up.

Until one day, I just got tired of being angry all the time,

being frustrated all the time, and felt that people are angry

and frustrated every day of their lives,

but maybe not as much as I am.

And so that just, I just figured the VA was my only option.

So, that's what got me to go back to it.
