The spinning waltenschauungs i sometimes
refer to are some of the strange paradoxes
i've been through; they're usually vacillations
of the "cognitive dissonance" type or a
reinterpretation of facts that stick to the
necessity of the moment-- but accepting the
facts. I think historical events are full
of this kind of thing-- politicians or historians
look back and rewrite history according to present propaganda or world events or wars, for example.Right now, my latest SW (for spinning waaltenschauung) is whether a dx (not mine)
has been wrong all along, and something far
more critical has been the problem which will
change my life and perspective. If the dx
is wrong, i will have to give up a lot (too
personal to say what but a big chunk of my life).
If i am right, and my pro-med belief turns out
to be correct, it will still be problematic but
not as devastating.Either way, i am preparing myself for "the truth", regardless of having to give up my pet 'medication for mental illness' theory, and much more. There is no alternative really.
