I sleep very well now.
I used to have dreams about being left behind, not just my unit
but sometimes even just my family leaving me behind
or my friends thinking that I was beyond hope,
that there was no helping me.
These kinds of nightmares would keep me up at night,
and then I would wake up and I'd smoke.
I didn't mention that -- I used to be a smoker!
I don't smoke anymore,
ever since Cognitive Processing Therapy.
My psychologist asked me why I smoke,
and I didn't have a good answer.
I'd spend all night pacing my room, smoking cigarettes.
And now, I have so much better things to do
than smoke and pace my room.
I could be working on my degree, or I could be
spending time with my sister and my family.
I could be running out, you know, going to the dog park
with my puppy or hanging out with my girlfriend.
Things are so different now, so different.
