I thought this is the idiom which means something like... this is bad but could be worse...

Why? It is difficult to answer... Because we couldn't control everything...

How are you doing after all?

Okay, then I get what you had in mind here.

I don't know if the phrase has that sort of meaning in English, I can only say that I don't and won't ever think like a native speaker of it because it simply isn't my native.

Well... Could probably be much worse, but could probably also be better. But this is not within the range of my powers anymore for a long time to change it in general to a "I'm doing fine and there's nothing to complain or worry about". As it simply can't be changed to such a state anymore. Biology stands in the way for that.
- Just as it is if you're chronically ill on the brain...
