Being from Texas, South Texas, you have family gatherings,
barbecues, you grill meat, things like that.
I didn't realize that until, again, same family event,
family is grilling meat and stuff
and all of the sudden, I started getting the smell
and it started reminding me a lot about burning flesh,
human flesh.
You know, that type of thing, and I think that
that was the start of my anxiety
with my confrontation and stuff, family members,
and I walked away,
I tried to get up wind from
where the grilling was being done.
And even today, I'm much better now
and actually, I gradually have started
working my way back in, so to speak,
to be able to be close to where, let's say,
some steaks are being grilled, that type of thing.
It's horrible.
You know, it's,
I don't.
It's just a horrible feeling.
I don't know how to explain it.
It's like, I used to be an adamant hunter
before I ever deployed.
I don't care to anymore.
