Essentially I was getting headaches.

And well I hadn't just started school

but school had really picked

up at the community college that I was in.

And so I was like, I must be reading

and you know I haven't read that much in the past,ever.

And so I thought my eyes were going bad, I just needed glasses

so I went to go see somebody about my eyes.

And they were like, " Well, you should also,

we see that you were diagnosed PTSD and TBI.

Perhaps these are also symptoms of those things."

And so then I went and got checked out.

And sure enough you know.
