Saying Goodbye As Part of PTSD Recovery

December 28, 2015 Dan Hays

Sometimes saying goodbye is a part of posttraumatic stress disorder recovery. A good friend used to end his emails with, “Nothing lasts. Everything changes.” That has proven true in my recovery from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). I will be headed in one direction, and then life will take an unexpected turn. Sometimes, saying goodbye must be a part of PTSD recovery.

Part of PTSD Recovery Is to Say goodbye

Saying goodbye is a part of PTSD recovery. Nothing lasts forever. Unfortunately, this goodbye is to Dan Hays, author of the "Trauma! A PTSD Blog." Read this.It is now time for me to step aside from the blog, and I’m happy to report that I’ve had a tremendous reduction in my PTSD symptoms in the time I have been here. Hard work pays off. But sometimes that hard work leads to a change in direction. I’ve decided to focus more on my career and my return to the working world (Should You Disclose Mental Illness In The Workplace?).

I didn’t feel I could devote the time needed to give the blog what it deserved, which prompted my decision to step out of the role of blogger for this forum.

I haven’t been a blogger on this forum for long, but it sure feels like I’ve grown a lot in the time I’ve been here. I hope my contributions have had a positive effect on the readers, and that my words gave you a measure of hope or inspiration.

If you have read my posts, I hope you are doing well, and that our paths will cross again.

I’ll see you on down the road.

Cheers,

Dan
