It could be a closet, it could be a small room in the house,
wherever you could find a safe haven
where in your mind nothing can get to you.
My safe haven was primarily my home,
which was, at the time, just a sleeping room.
It was big enough to get around in but small enough to,
in my eyes, keep everything and everyone away.
And I was comfortable there until I had my first flashback,
which was the sound of a tractor trailer going by.
And it sounded like a machine gun, and so it triggered,
it triggered a flashback.
And that's when I was taken to the hospital, and
then I explained to the psychiatrist what was going on with me
and what had happened, and that's when they transported me
to another facility, and I met more doctors.
And next thing you know, there was a team of doctors
that worked with me and helped me along,
helped me to get better, so to speak.
