Black and White thinking is so hard to deal with, not only for myself but anyone who has to deal with the person who has this symptom. It’s a symptom of many disorders.
So you maybe asking by now what is it exactly. There are a few things I will mention to help describe it, for example.
Positive and Negative: I maybe having an argument, discussion or what ever. Someone can say good and bad things however I am only going to here the negative and not even here the positive things said or any advice given.
All or Nothing: A lot of people know that I am a very loving and touchy feely person. However not everyone is like that. Sometimes they will tell me to not be so lovey and not give so me hugs and kisses throughout the day. I don’t seem to know how to just limit myself on it. I seem to just try and cut it out completely. And if I do reach out to give that kiss or hug… I tend to pull back and say I am sorry.
Those were only examples of things I do, I am sure I can think of alot more, but don’t wanna bore you too much. I do wish I could get away from this, but truth is I don’t really know how. And my Medi-cal doesn’t cover all that it used to.
