i had various turning points along the way. I dunno points where i was like huh i think i'm getting somewhere or I'm starting to feel better. But i was not there yet or totally better or something.
I had a lot of work to do but I guess at about 18 months or so I had lost the weight and had gotten in shape. My social skills left a lot to be desired and i still felt pretty screwed up mentally tho i was getting somewhere i guess.
this took a ton of work for me strict diet and daily walks / runs and a routine I kept to try and keep my anxiety in check etc..
and even at 18months it was not perfect. I recall at 2 years thinking geeze i'm still not like there yet??!??!
I started to realize that I'm not sure what "normal" is or if i'll ever get "there" I just know its a daily journey for me at this point. If i wanna feel good i gotta eat right excercise make proper choices not drink etc.. Maybe I'll get "there" one day.
