It's a lifetime struggle. I was very ill as a teen for many years. Then recovered. Then relapse. Then recovered. Etc etc. I now have 3 kids and I've been slipping back to old habits..

Thanks for sharing your comment. I wanted to let you know that Jesus loves you. You were never meant to carry this illness alone. I pray you find your peace in Him. And give your life to Jesus if you haven’t already. Rest in Him. God bless
