I've been there, I spent years watching my health fail while I put my work, my startup(which eventually I left anyway) and finances ahead of taking care of myself.
The ultimate result: my life fell apart for about 8 months while I suffered through the culmination of the condition that caused my poor health. I couldn't work anymore, function like a normal human or take care of myself, basically I ended up housebound and bedridden. At that time I thought life was over for me, but, my family and friends rallied, took care of me, and helped me get through it. Now I am re-building my life. Instead of feeling bad that I "lost" so much time due to poor health, I feel that I have a new opportunity to live a different, better life.
After YEARS of saying, I'll deal with my health when I "fill in the blank", my body finally forced me to deal with it. I feel stupid for needing such a terrible thing to teach me a lesson, but now I can proceed in life a bit wiser and more ready to succeed.
Get healthy, you are not doing yourself, or ANYONE in your life service by "half living" while you struggle to find time to "deal with it". I don't know your particular situation, and it might be terribly difficult for you to take the time to heal, but you either deal with it now, or when things take a more serious turn, when it may be too late.
Hope you find the balance you need to get good an Healthy!
