Sending you much love, Chemist, I do hope it's not ALS and that you can be cured

Thank you Whisper. I owe you an apology, for my misbehavior.

But as my muscles are becoming weaker and weaker and I show some signs of the disease, I believe I may have ALS. To be brutally honest, I just want to die.

I was convinced I had bipolar at one time. (no disrespect to anyone with bipolar)

Professionals refused to diagnose me. I now know they were correct. But it felt real and no-one wanted to diagnose me, I in fact did have PTSD which would have helped me understand myself and realise they were right.

I am not religous but will pray that you have much more life to lead TLC. Bleak times call for hope and perserverance....

I can't drive, I can't make friends, I can't talk (to keep the conversation going because I don't know what to talk), I can't become a scientist, I can't help people, nobody helps me... why would I like to live?

On the other hand, if it's not ALS and things eventually improve, I look forward seeing myself as a scientist. At least that, if not anything else. Screw driving and friends, but at least you need ONE source of energy and hope.

Do you know if this is a medical certainty? It's too easy to overwhelm yourself with "what ifs" and think the worst. I hope none of it is certain. You're a valuable member here and I enjoy reading your posts. I know how hard it is to remain positive, but please try.

I haven't been told anything but my psychiatrist gave me a reason to live by telling me I can fully recover from my mental and neurological illness. He gave me an okay to socialize and do whatever I want.
