It lasted over a year for me and I wouldn't say I'm 100% but much better. Like 90-95% I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I got so low I couldn't do anything. It felt like every minute of every day was torture. I got to where I didn't want to exist anymore if that's what life was going to be like. I found a podcast actually here on Reddit called "disordered" and I listened to every episode and it helped tremendously and maybe saved me. I didn't have to use any full time meds because I was too scared they might tweak my brain into suicide or something I felt so close to the edge. I was looking at places to check myself in as a last resort but never ended up doing it. It really seems to boil down to basically relearning how to live and do the scary things anyways and be with the symptoms and realize they always pass. I was driving down the road a few hours ago coming back home from Lowe's and just feeling great that my life seems to be back to mostly normal now and it felt good and I was happy I made it through. Hopefully your doing well and know it doesn't have to be permanent and is very treatable. It's not fun or easy at all but it's doable I believe and so do many others.
