New Fear, this time it is Als

[Fishmanpa]

I started anti-depressants and will start CBT soon, I also started going to gym which make me feel happy. I'm doing better these days actually but it's just ALS fears made me depressed so this one is the hardest to overcome.

That's great! Those are very positive steps!

Now, I'm going to suggest something that other veteran dragon slayers will affirm as well as your CBT therapist. This forum, while it serves a wonderful purpose in that you know you're not alone and the there's a certain cathartic benefit in writing out your fears, also is detrimental in that it keeps you focused on your anxiety and symptoms. I think you know this. Continuing to keep this ALS fear thread alive is essentially feeding the dragon. The sooner you begin to starve him, the sooner he'll go back to his cave. You would be better served keeping a private journal as opposed to feeding your fear here.
