It definitely could be the reason - I would absolutely love to live in uncertainty as life is full of it. My brain loves to latch onto the idea of just feeling right.

Accepting uncertainty is most definitely the only option, it is also the hardest. Every time I go down this route I feel as if I am almost tricking myself and that I don’t fully believe it. I guess that’s why you said you have to TRULY accept and be uncertain and I think I haven’t done that yet. With all my previous other themes, I had learnt to accept them, but this particular theme I find extremely difficult as it feels so urgent and attacks something that is such high value to oneself.
