Holding my own

Something you tell someone when you think everything is going to be okay, but you could end up metaphorically in the bottom of a lake like the SS Edmund Fitzgerald.

You can replace "my" with "our" if you're talking about your group's fate.
Person 1: Hey how's it going?
Person 2: I'm holding my own.
