I was recently (am?) in a similar situation. It took 4 hospitalizations before I let go of the startup, and asked my family for help getting back on my feet. I'm on the upswing now, recovered while working less demanding jobs, and after 6 months started another company. If I learned anything, it's that my priorities had gotten pretty twisted- and that there will always be another startup. This time, I'm keeping reasonable hours, and doing whatever I can to stay on top of my health. If I can't afford something important to my care, I'll contract on the side to pay for it. The current struggle is that it's "so hard" to exercise as a founder- but that's just a lie we tell ourselves. It doesn't take any more space than you already take up to keep fit. Due to the details of my medical stuff, I can't run anymore, but I can still walk, and do situps, pushups, and wall sits. If you're okay with looking ridiculous, you'll be surprised at how many places you can find to get a couple exercises in.
