A few weeks ago I convinced myself that I was going to die of skin cancer. My whole back was itching due to the cold weather, binge eating sugar, drinking my weight in coffee, eczema, hot showers, and not putting on lotion. Common sense would tell me that I should put on lotion, change my diet, and stop taking scalding hot showers right? Wrong. I made a dermatologist appointment in tears, googled skin cancer when I should have been working, read every horror story on cancer forums then like magic, I started drinking more water and eating less irritating foods and my skin condition disappeared. 

Black and white thinking is one of the worst symptoms for me. I literally cannot think in anything but absolutes. 

How does black and white thinking manifest for you
