jccali72 is on a distinguished road
Default Workaholic entered short-term disability

I have worked nonstop for the past twenty years and at a feverous pace since 2001. My PTSD is officially 7 months old but has been festering under the surface since my stint in Kuwait in 1998.
My workaholic nature has shifted rapidly since January and I am now on hiatus from my chosen career in sales. I broke down at work a month or so ago and the VA has still not recommended I return. I will begin PET treatment in a couple of weeks.
It is apparent that I must deal with my demons. I miss working...I would like to work but can barely even leave the house on most days.

With all of this though...I have renewed hope. I am realizing that sales is probably not the place for me and am becoming ok with it...I think.

Question...if the treatment is effective would you return to prior career? Or pick a new one?

Any advice is always welcome...jen
