L,

Yes the biggest misnomer here is the time line. 6 weeks is a microcosm of how long your situation will mostly run. One of my all time favorite poster use to say “the quickest way back is to go in the complete opposite direction”. It’s very hard for newbies it’s almost impossible to do so they typically pursue and make matters worse. Pursuit NEVER makes things better. Until you learn that unfortunately you will suffer.
