I was angry at absolutely nothing.

Transcript

When I first got back, I expected to have some

lingering effects, and so when I was having nightmares

and I was angry at absolutely nothing -- I didn't have a thing

to be angry at, I was just angry -- and I would find myself

just curling up in a corner of the room and just sobbing,

I just figured that was part of the transition.

Before going to Iraq, I really didn't understand

what road rage was, I couldn't understand why people

would get so angry, and I found myself really furious

at people who would do things, not even necessarily

cutting me off and being dangerous, but just stupid things

would infuriate me, and when people would cut me off

and things like that, I would want to follow them home

and yell at them, and that was, I knew that wasn't normal.
