All or Nothing Thinking or Black or White thinking are one of the 9 traits that define who a BPD sufferer is. So it is extremely common and often helps our pdocs give us our diagnosis or Dx. My parents who were dysfuntional used to keep saying to me as a child, "You can't trust Anyone" over and over. Eventually I did NOT trust anyone and it really messed me up. But their mantra of mistrust didn't make sense. There were always some really nice, kind people in the world. Where did I fit them in? That's the beginning of my journey to mental health. Knowing that everything I had been taught could not possibly be 100% right.
Also remember that Mental Ill. maintains that there are chemical imbalances with our chemicals and hormones. You may NOT be able to think in 'grey' because your chemicals are messed up. Psych nurses are aware of this and understand, mostly. So does your Dr. Since you are in the hospital sit back, relax, take the T they offer. Try to make some friends, have fun, make things and distract your mind. You'll be OK. Good Luck to You. I hope this helped.
