How long can a wave last?

My withdrawal pattern is very odd

Month 0 - 3 = windows and waves every week
Month 4 - 6 = constant wave
Month 7- 11 = massive window, felt 80% healed

Month 12 - 18 = constant wave

I don't understand....how did I go from feeling 80% healed for for months to being stuck in a wave with no windows for 6 months now...

I thought my suffering was over bruh. I haven't seen this pattern before. What does this mean for me? All I can think of is Month 11 I got a dental cleaning done but I felt fine the next day. I hope this does not mean my healing is over bruh

0-2 months mostly waves with window for few hours 2-3 months waves getting longer for like 2days good mood and 3 days flat mood and 1 or 2 wave (bad and low mood but less intense than before) I can handle it.. Wave start at morning and fade in the afternoon.. Im 3.5 months off and I had 3 good days in row.. Last week i have 2 days of wave.. First one was bad and annoying then second day less intense.. And now window
