I have some BP Christmas Carols for the season!
The 12 Days of Christmas (BiPolar remix)
On the first day of Christmas my pdoc gave to me
A dx of insanity.
On the second day of Christmas my pdoc gave to me
Two caps of lithium
Which made both of my hands all shaky.
On the third day of Christmas my pdoc gave to me
Three puvules Prozac
And now I can barely see.
On the fourth day of Christmas my pdoc gave to me
Four hits of Zoloft
Now my mouth tastes like soiled undies.
On the fifth day of Christmas my pdoc gave to me
Fiiiiiive benzzzzzadriiiiine.
I will never pay off that shopping spree.
On the sixth day of Christmas my pdoc gave to me
Six caps of Dalmane
Whoa, my feet feel so awful heavy.
On the seventh day of Christmas my pdoc gave to me
Seven tabs of Haldol
I'm becoming a lock-jawed zombie.
On the eighth day of Christmas my pdoc gave to me
Eight wedges Serzone
Three puvlules Prozac
Oh, my head is so sore and dizzy.
On the ninth day of Christmas my pdoc gave to me
Nine doses Nardil
A tub of water and I'm still so thirsty.
On the tenth day of Christmas my pdoc gave to me
Ten more Effexor
Now all it can do is just pee.
On the eleventh day of Christmas my pdoc gave to me
Eleven Paxil dancing
I just know he is out to get me.
On the twelth day of Christmas my pdoc gave to me
Twelve shots of Thorazine
And a quick ride to Emergency
Rudolph the BP Reindeer
Rudolf the BP reindeer
Was dx'ed bipolar one.
He could sink to the lowest,
Or fly straight into the sun. '
All of the other reindeer
Used to play games with his meds.
They like to laugh at Rudolf
When he would hide from the Feds.
Then one groggy Christmas Eve,
Hitched lead to the sleigh,
Rudolf with his head so light,
Stranded Santa in the night.
Now all the other reindeer
Hope he finds his sanity.
They, all the toys and Rudolf --
Last seen over Helsinki.

While I catch the humor in your posting, I think such poems make fun of people who have mental illnesses and those who treat them. They contribute to the stigma. I've never seen such a poem about the bad effects of hypertension medications.....
I'm BiPolar. I'm making fun of myself.
If people can't laugh at themselves, bipolar is the least of their problems. Heh.
