It's also of course about what's practical and gives you more acceptance when needed, but never stop believing in what you truly keep hanging on to, that which supports you.

The real crazy people indeed not just may assume too much, but they see it as the truth.

If I were to consider all that my psychiatrist says as the (only) truth, my doubt would lead to anxiety and my anxiety to beliefs that I know aren't tenable or healthy.

You can't just choose what to believe, so better believe in something, fully accepted by others or not.

It causes instability, changeability. Fearing that will leave an emptiness between pain and joy and a greater divide.
