I'm trying to figure that out myself:-) You can't put a time frame on feeling better. I've been therapy for almost 7 months now and I will take those seven months with me especially during the next year. Take each day as it comes, treat it as a blessing and go at your own pace.

I got orders to Iraq today so I've got until January to heal or at least feel a little more empowered than I do right now. I can't take the eating behaviors with me overseas. I can't take the memories with me. I know there will be triggers, smells, sounds that will make memories real but I can't let them over power me like they have, like they are. I wish I had a timeline for you my friend. Being in the military, I'm all about schedules, mission accomplishment and best of putting on a mask (my uniform). Take care.
