Really the first aspect was just the hypervigilance
and the anger in-country.
Coming home, that's when the other emotions start to come
out because you're not really in a situation
where you've got to force them back.
So that's when the sadness, the depression,
a lot of empathy is really accessed
for what went on over there.
Some of the signs for me were: I didn't sleep too much,
I didn't want to be around people, traffic, noise.
I couldn't trust anybody and I really felt
like I brought everything home.
It was just an unsafe environment at home regardless
of being surrounded by my comrades, my family, my friends.
You're just on the edge the whole time, so.
