help, deep depression about possible terminal illness?
I am a 20 year old college student. All my life, I've achieved nothing great, never got a car, never had friends, dated around barely, always thought God was saving that time for my adult life. Now my health has been taking a beating for 2+ years and I'm going to doctors currently for what I believe is als starting in my body, a progressive terminal disease that paralyzes those that get it with no real treatment or cure in sight. At this point in my life, I would have died without living if I'm diagnosed with this. I've had several test for this that have come out clean but I'm almost convinced that this is what's up with my body. How can I get myself out of this stupor? I've felt a little suicidal about this also, as I won't let a stupid disease rob me of my youth and would rather go while I'm still functional.

You do not have a terminal disease. You have anxiety, a type of hypochondria, that is preventing you from functioning to your fullest. You have repeatedly tested negative. That means you definitely do not have the disease. But you do have symptoms of a real anxiety and depressive disorder. Look into getting counseling. Ask your doctor if you could try an antidepressant for these symptoms. Counseling will really help. Look into your options. Most universities offer free counseling. Why not? It can't hurt.

A disease is not robbing you of your youth. You are.
If you are in college (which it sounds like) there is probably a student mental clinic; go there.
