I've only been playing for 2.5 years - but my longest down swing was at the start of this year. 
It lasted right at 3 months. I went from having over 1k in my bank roll to below 100.00.  It was BRUTAL. 
I never chased losses or bought into a higher stake tourney - nothing dumb, I kept following my strict bankroll management plan, and dropped down and down and down.

Finally within a span of four days the downswing was snapped. I won a 75gtd tourney for something like $18, and followed it up with 5-6 final tables in larger events I ran my meager bankroll up from 100, back up over 1000.00.

I never took a break or got disparaged. Some of the beats I was taking was - just unbelieveable, but I stuck to my game, kept playing my events, kept plugging along and came out the other side.

I may have been able to reduce the length of the down swing by taking a break, not sure - I never did any of the bad stuff you may have seen others do by chasing losses, and playing events beyond their bankroll.  As long as you keep proper bankroll management - the hot cold streak will eventually end.
