Dear Portland Weather,

This is an intervention. We all love and care about you. We like that you keep the plants green and the trees growing. We enjoy the scattered sunbreaks in the summer time. We enjoy the month-long bouts of rain. We are worried about you, which is why we are writing this letter. This morning, we in the Raleigh Hills area woke to snow falling. This can mean only one thing: you've stopped taking your medication again.

Please, let us finish. This is as hard for us as it is for you.

We know that you want to feel normal. We know that you feel like you can go without your antipsychotics. But it's not winter anymore, especially here. Please start taking your lithium again. We wouldn't want to see you end up in one of the state hospitals with an IV in your arm -- we know what poor shape they're in these days.

Your friends,

The damnportlanders
