I'm sure that what I am experiencing-shock, anxiety, sadness and depression are not unusual for those who suffer from the same disease. In a couple of weeks I'll be going to an ALS-endorsed clinic in New Britain, CT. My last hope, I guess, is that the physicians there will reach a different diagnosis than horrific ALS.
Am I being unrealistically hopeful and should therefore face facts that there's no hope for my longevity? I'm of course frightened but I also suffer severe anxiety, tension and profound depression when I think of my wife, children and other family members who I will leave behind. I am not a religious person so I can't use the notion of god in my emotional ability to cope. Thank you most sincerely for reading my post. Any advice is warmly welcomed.
