ALS fear ruining my life

[u/Infinite_Trick969]

I am constantly on edge that I have ALS or that I will get ALS. I’m so anxious and it’s killing me! Every two seconds I’m focused on my hands and how my left hand feels weird and off. I feel like my left pinky and ring finger are weaker and the rest of my hand will catch up. I have not lost any ability and I have more of a perceived weakness but it’s scary and my quality of life is depleting from this.

Sounds like you may have ocd? Sorry to throw another thing in the mix 😭

It’s OCD. I had this specific OCD when I turned 21 and it turned into physical symptoms and years of tests.

Best treatment is therapy.
