she then asked me what my coping methods were and I told her I like to journal, to listen to music, and to watch cartoons.
she goes... you're 25 and you like cartoons?
and diss connected
so the fact I'm too old for cartoons is more important than being understood.... okay. personally I will always watch cartoons, no matter what anyone says.
I am feeling depressed today because.... well... it is a regular, boring day
and when I say regular and boring, it doesn't even cut it
their is nothing happening today. it's almost like this day wasn't meant to be in the calendar or something

Hugs for you Raging vortex. I have had the same reaction about watching cartoons from other people. I found a fantastic way that stops that judgement.. I say "I like cartoons, did you know that when cartoons first were made they were not made for children and with children in mind? if you look up the history of cartoons you will find that they were actually for adult entertainment first before they were for children, and I can see why, they are great for advertizing a product in commercials, and distracting adults from their stressful day and got to admit they are quite funny how they take real life situations and poke a bit of fun at them. makes those daily chores a bit easier to handle."
this usually gets the other person to admit they too sometimes watch cartoons but didnt want to admit it because they didnt want to seem childish.
Its ok raging vortex to like cartoons and you enjoy them all you want. I do. you are not alone. lol
