Labelling people as either good or evil, with no shades of grey?

I did this yesterday towards one of my nurses, refused to take the medication she gave me because I felt scared that she may have poisoned it somehow. Another nurse had to give me the medication. I was feeling extremely anxious throughout the whole evening and night. I was able to talk to other people just fine, but I couldn't towards that one nurse because of the evil label I had given her.

Even now I am feeling confusion...is she good or evil? My psychologist is trying to get me to stop thinking in black & white terms, and go to shades of grey...but it is difficult sometimes when my mind tells me otherwise.

Does anybody else struggle with this?

I get black and white thinking all the time. I believe its part of my autism though. Something either is or isn't, good or bad, up or down with no shades of gray. I am called an extreme thinker. It even is part of a financial situation, I believe either (when manic) that we are going to make millions upon millions of dollars or while depressed I believe we are going to lose everything we own and talk to talking rats on the streets. The same with good or evil. I don't think people are in between those two, they are good if they commit no crimes and doesn't lie or if you do commit crimes or do other stupid things like lie all the time I believe they are evil.
