Try six months of regular training and lessons to be competent. Twelve months or more to be proficient. (Note I said proficient, not professional.)
If you had started back when you first posted this thread you would already have a grasp of the basics. Words won't solve your problem, only action, hard work, and pain.
After you have been punched in the face a few times you learn to cope, and it's not as scary. I speak from experience.
