“There are others out there who’ve had this most of their life and are now doing okay”- Rob’s story

I just wanted to let people know that there are others out there who’ve had this most of their life and are now doing okay. I really hope this will help someone.

“It took a long, long time for me to learn to only take on one task at a time and start living in the slower lane” – Sue-Ellen’s story

I’m still working 2 part time jobs (hope to stop soon), have a reasonably healthy diet and regularly exercise (swim 1-2km most days, gym twice a week, walk, and go on the occasional bike ride). My health is pretty good and manageable. We are now empty-nesters and enjoy going on regular camping trips with our camper. We also enjoy bushwalks and ocean swims.
