the world through anxiety coloured glasses

07 Dec the world through anxiety coloured glasses

I would often, quite proudly say, I see the world very black and white. I felt I had the intelligence to see and understand other people’s point of view but not necessarily agree with that person’s point of view.

That is a good world to be in. Right. After all we don’t always agree with other people’s point of view but to be able to say “yeh I can see how that person could think that”

It was only when I experienced anxiety to a level that required valium to keep it at bay that I discovered that people who may be predisposed to anxiety see the world as very black and white. It is their mind keeping them safe and stopping the anxiety from being extreme.
