Some of the support sites say like 1.5-2 months. What symptoms do you have? Sounds so hard. Be proud of yourself, you're doing it for you! I remember when I had to cash out my 401K to afford braces for my teeth when I was 29-30 and how I resented that my parents hadn't know/gotten them when I was a teen, etc. but I did have a bit of pride that I was taking care of myself and I used that pride and knowledge to build other good things on.
