I waited 2.5 years before I filed. I waited for the SG to do it, and he didn't.
It's all about how much you can take. If you are not ready, don't do it.
Everyone is different. But it is really only a piece of paper, so ask yourself what will be different if you file?
Im still standin better than I ever did looking like a true survivor feeling like a little kid Im still standin after all this time and Im picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind..
