It's been 5 years for me and it's gotten a lot easier. I'm less jumpy, tense, paranoid, emotional, but there are some hard times where I still get too deep in my head/ memories and I feel like total shit. So it's definitely a long road....but I have no medication, therapy, or support system so I'm probably not making it any easier for myself.
