Don't give this free rent in your head. It's not worth it. You are the same person before seeing the cartoons as after and that's what counts, right? The key is to understand and accept the fact that as a group, those of us with mental disorders are poked fun at as if we were of African American descent and living in the old south. I apologize to any one offended by the analogy as it was in no way meant to offend anyone. It's merely a tool to illustrate that people like us who are "different" from the rest of "society" are viewed more often than not as outcasts. We are not understood and that leads to torment from others. The fact is that by you being able to not give it free rent in your head, you have elevated yourself to a higher link in the food chain than them. You're better than that. Please don't feel badly. Take care sweetie.
