The larger point is that individuals in crisis states often suffer from fragmented ego barriers -- as a result, the world can come flooding in, in a most distressing manner creating intense fear. Part of the recovery process includes dismantling fear and anxiety cycles that can be triggered as well as re-learning how to reality test. For that, we need reliable information, not speculation.

yes, i understand that. actually i read the book by john weir perry you suggested some months ago, found it very helpful. basically conspiracy theories were what i was talking about... there are many believers who are very stable. at one point, when i was on the verge of breakdown, and a friend told me about it, i wondered if he was a bit psychotic.

and yes, i'm aware it is speculation - what else could it be when we're talking about things like this? but still.. whatever happens, happens. and like tishie said, good luck to us all.
