At the time, there were mass shootings in the news. We still called it "going postal". Someone had shot up a McDonald's a few years prior, and myself though that was my destiny, to one day snap and kill a lot of people. Not because of abuse in the moment, not because of bullying in the moment, but just because there was a lot of anger from past trauma, that had no where to go.

The last time anything like that happened was in college. Having no one that time to direct my rage toward, just spent several hours furiously kicking over trash cans in an empty Washington Square Park in the wee hours of the morning. At the end of the process, just felt very silly, and never had an episode like that again.
