Mixed Drinks

RAW

content note: alcohol, mental distress, brief non-graphic mention of suicide

Sometimes, the combination of drugs someone takes is called a cocktail

Funny,
I sometimes think of my 
Moods
As cocktails

Strong,
Complicated cocktails,
That I never ordered
But that I’m required to drink; 
Served to me by a 
Relentless,
Temperamental bartender.

Some might think the menu at the bar looks like this:
*House Red: Depression.
House White: Mania!
Today’s Special: Mood Swings
Tomorrow’s Special: Non-Stop Crying*

When really, there is no house wine, no happy-hour specials, no simple menu
There is no choice.

No.

The bartender’s set-up looks a little something like this:

*DIGESTIVE ISSUES
IRRITABILITY 
APATHY
EUPHORIA
ANXIETY
HOPELESSNESS
BURSTS OF CREATIVITY
CONFUSION
PANIC
LOSS OF PLEASURE
SOUND SENSITIVITY
LIGHT SENSITIVITY
RAVENOUS APPETITE
RACING THOUGHTS
MEMORY LOSS
HYPERSEXUAL ACTIVITY
LOSS OF APPETITE
TROUBLE CONCENTRATING
GUILT
NON-STOP CRYING
HYPERSOMNIA
ANGER
RAPID SPEECH
INSOMNIA
SADNESS
LOSS OF MOTIVATION
DELUSIONS
LETHARGY
IMPULSIVITY 
SUICIDAL IDEATION
PSYCHOSIS
HYPOCHONDRIA
PERSEVERATING
TEMPERATURE SENSITIVITY
DISSOCIATION
TROUBLE PROCESSING INFORMATION*

Each cocktail is different
Their effects lingering for varying lengths of time

Bartender might serve you
Weeks
Of Euphoria & Hypersexual Margaritas
Then slip you a shot of Suicidal Ideation unexpectedly.

Or they might serve 
One Delusions of Grandeur & Psychosis Sangria for a weekend
Followed by
Years
Of Sadness & Apathy Martinis, Lethargy Chasers, and Memory Loss Apéritifs.

And at any moment
They could switch, spill, or spike your drink
And you’ll still have to pay the tab.

A new day, a new mixed drink, a new mixed mood.

But at least I’m getting better
At identifying the mixers,
And anticipating their potency, 
And prioritizing staying good and
Hydrated.
