You’ve got this! Congratulations on taking the first step toward a career that you’re passionate about.
My absolute best piece of advice would be to keep doing what you’re doing. It sounds like you’ve worked out a financial plan, study plan, and have gained a support circle- all of those things are necessary to prepare yourself the mental and emotional space to go through an accelerated program. With those in place, following your own internal motivation is going to be key, especially through the rough times. Knowing when to step away from code, when to give yourself patience as you learn, when to lean on a friend or community for support, and when to shower yourself with praises (even for the little things) comes next and takes practice.
Keeping my eye on my end goal, focusing my intention on success (because you can and will succeed in your goal), and ‘seeing myself there’ were all things that helped me at the beginning of my journey, and I’ve since manifested more than I could imagine then. You deserve this, too, so allow yourself to fear the fear, but conquer it!
