Yes, weightlifting keeps me mentally sane so I try to do it daily. I know how stressful this situation can be but it's time for you to return to your normal activities. Get back to the gym, you'll realize that you are as strong as ever and that alone will help with your anxiety. Did you find the BFS Facebook group? I think it's a better place for you to be than this forum.
As for the timeframe of twiching before weakness, first you have to understand that this is not how ALS usually presents (specially if your twitching is bodywide); so it's a rare presentation of a rare disease. And for the very few cases that started with twitching, Dr. Andrew Eisen states the following:
"In any event from 40 plus years of clinical experience it is extraordinarily rare for ALS to truly present with fasciculations and in my opinion if after 8 months there are no other clinical features then it is not ALS"
Hope it helps. Take care
