It's looking a lot like I will be this way for life. I'm 26, and have dealt with this since as far back as I can remember (almost) untreated, and unrecognised, thus left to fester and grow, and so far the people I've seen have made it fairly clear that I may never.. you know.. be normal. I guess it depends on the severity, the person, and the treatment available. That's not to say that it can't be improved and life improved, which has been made clear to me to be doable. I accepted a long time ago that I'm not "right" and never will be, that's a sheeter, but I'll live with it as best I can, what treatment does is help you better deal with it, in my case anyway.
