Hi @Cuddlebear im doing ok thanks, and yes I did the histamine blood test this morning. I’m not sure what exactly the histamine blood test looks into — it’s just to see if I have some sort of histamine issue because of the skin issues I’ve been having. My naturopath recommends that I take it to see what the results turn out to be and what things she reckons that I do, use etc.

@GezzaP I’ve heard some meds can make people hungry in many people. I am also wondering whether the hunger is also hormonal related.

Psychologists are a hit or miss. I had to go through many profile to find my current psychologist. I felt like giving up in the process but got there eventually. I’ve had not so helpful experiences in therapy. It can help to look through profiles on websites like Psychology Today. Sometimes there is the option of talking to the psychologist for a short free consult. Some psychs will also list bipolar as their practice area. The support is out there, it’s just about finding it

@GezzaP I hope you’re able to wind down and do something gentle this evening. Have you ever looked into sleep hygiene material online? It can be super helpful building a routine, especially when bipolar effects circadian rhythms

Yes I have the sleep hygiene material @creative_writer . But I’m a bit ill-disciplined. I like to listen to BBC radio at night. If I have a silent room I get absorbed by my own bad thoughts. It is raining here tonight. I like the sound of that. When I’m well I go back to sleep after getting up to go to the loo as one tends to do as one ages. I’m about to get into bed. Yes I know I shouldn’t be looking at the screen. Told you I’m ill disciplined. Well I am

going to get in bed now.

@Blackcloud Hello lovely how are you? Thank you for explaining. I do hope the blood tests can give you some answers and appropriate treatment if necessary.
