Long timers. How do you do it?

I’ve lived with this disorder for over 20 years.

I’m exhausted. Keeping up with meds, diet, exercise, talk therapy.

It’s exhausting.

It’s like staring down the barrel of a gun, but I’m the one holding it, one hand always on the trigger.

I have an amazingly supportive husband and two wonderful children. They are my protective factors.

But I fear that one day that won’t be enough.

So for those who are living the long-haul: what keeps you going?
