How long did it actually take to feel "settled"?

Honest question because I'm in the wobbly bit. Everything works on paper but I don't feel at home yet. For those further along — how long did it take, and did it arrive gradually or all at once?

Gradually for me, no single moment — somewhere around the one-year mark I realised it had already happened without me noticing exactly when.

Following, retired here and still in the wobbly bit myself, comforting to see it’s a process rather than a switch.

Genuinely all at once for me, oddly — one ordinary Tuesday it just clicked. Wish I could tell you why that particular day.
