A Poem: Break

I’d like to take a break
From schizophrenia
But it’s a “job” without
Any days off

Very true. And it’s an underpaid job!

That’s why I was drinking so much in the end days. Unmedicated symptoms would get so bad, I would drink as fast as I could. Pints on pints of gin at a time.

I’d be in a stupor for days, unaware of the world and my symptoms, just thinking about my next few swigs and another in an endless stream of naps.

I’d do this until I ran out of alcohol and the worst parts of the positive symptoms eased.I’m sure I had alcohol poisoning a few times. I’m lucky to be alive.

That’s how I would do it, drop out from the world for a little while.

I’m going on 6 years without. I try to use that as a stalwart in harder times. It’s not perfect, probably will never be, but it’s better that how I used to handle.

Good one dude, always good for sparking thoughts.

The best I can do is get hours off every day.
