I've asked myself the same questions, except I am in treatment. The body is 57 and if it weren't for the surprise appearance of Billy during EMDR we many never have become aware of our condition, though upon reflection the signs were there our whole life. Now all is so much chaos and it is, "Why now? Our life is half over. Will it get better?" The hope is yes, it will.
I think treatment is worth the risk. It can only get better and without it perhaps it will only get worse. Only you can truly answer the question.
