Fearing ALS

[Seymour]

Is this really necessary? Talking about my child and saying I won’t be a good dad? I think that is unnecessary and very mean, regardless of your opinion on my health anxiety.

I am trying to overcome it but I have great difficulty as I spend my days twitching and shaking and having weak legs or perceived weak legs but they’re less than optimal regardless of terminology.

Yes I am seeking reassurance and as I’m having problems with my body that I can’t make sense of and that all seem to point towards ALS even though somehow everyone says it doesn’t but I don’t rationally comprehend why.

Anyway I will get out of your hair as I see that I’m a nuisance here and that I’m seen as an attention seeker. I’m just a deeply anxious person who doesn’t know how to control that anxiety and I’m searching for kindness and reassurance in the wrong places.

Pulisa is trying to give you a wake-up-call, time is ticking by Seymour to that little life that really needs you 100 percent, coming into the world. She is trying to draw you out of your 'HA self-centred state'. You said to me 'I need to get my SH*T together' and now its time to do so. I don't know if you and your girlfriend live together, or if the baby will be with you 24/7, but there won't be time for such obsession if you have a new life to care for. NOBODY, absolutely nobody you have seen thinks you have a neurological issue.

Would it really be more kind of us to humour you in your delusions and help you stay on the same treadmill you seem to keep wanting to run on forever?

What you might not remember is most of us here have been where you are, and we don't want you to lose huge chunks of your life to this vile disease like we have.

We don't want your partner or child to lose chunks of their life to your illness either, though. Health anxiety makes a person self-absorbed in a way you can't afford to be with a new baby on the way.
