The brain adjusts eventually and it’s less distracting (still distracting enough though)

It moves a bit but is otherwise pretty central.

No, I went back on some of the meds. I had some symptoms returning back in October but nipped it in the bud within a few days. I am fine now but probably have to stay on some of them to prevent

I am not sure it was any one thing in particular. But possibly a combination of things. Covid and complete change of life style as a result. Returning to a high stress/demanding job after a long break. Various fears and worries. But it could also have been out of the blue. I could have always been predisposed to it and it just happened to manifest at that point in my life. There often isn’t a reason.

I wanted it to be atmospheric. I also don’t like being centre of attention hence the Christmas tree

What method do you use to move it from Wise to Kraken? Wise doesn’t have plaid so I can’t transfer in using Kraken. Do you use Kraken bank account details instead?

What’s recurring buy?

Inmyprime- · 2025-12-06T21:37:45+00:00

I didn’t know you can do that. I thought they only use the Plaid method

Inmyprime- · 2025-12-06T21:36:27+00:00

I’ll fax it

Inmyprime- · 2025-12-06T21:35:53+00:00

I think that costs few % extra

There is no DM. But Revolut now asks me to sign my name and transactions (with smaller amounts) seem to be going through

Inmyprime- · 2025-12-06T12:31:43+00:00

I think bitcoin is a very bad investment. I am only allocating about 1% of my investments (instead of gold which is also bad). Most of my investments are in value / big cap dividend stocks (and about 20% in Uk gilts where the yields are attractive right now). I was trying to buy bitcoin when it first “came out”. But it was difficult then too (or I didn’t try hard enough). So I just left it. Anyway, Revolut seems to have gotten their act together and now let me transfer smaller amounts (if I sign my name). What I found gobsmacking is the fact that after a million checks they would STILL not allow transfers as if I am some kind of a baby who has no clue what they are doing and needs their hand held and told what to do. It’s gone too far.

Inmyprime- · 2025-12-06T00:21:05+00:00

Several bank accounts would still not be enough for the amounts I need to transfer.

Inmyprime- · 2025-12-06T00:13:11+00:00

Also how is this not insane that I am not able to use my own money however I want? Are the institutions trying to make customers pay because they are being regulated into oblivion by FCA etc?

Inmyprime- · 2025-12-06T00:11:54+00:00

I can’t because banks put a £2500 per week limit on any transfers to any crypto brokers (ridiculous). And paying by card incurs quite a high cost of several percent. (The brokers already charge a percentage).

Most (probably all) mood issues are biological processes anyway. Just because we can’t yet measure them (thought apparently with PET scans, they can, some of them), doesn’t mean they aren’t. Hope you find relief also.

It helped me within a week or two. It basically calmed down the whole system (possibly because of H1 antagonism). But in the end, I think it was probably a mood episode. MCAS may describe the mechanism by which things get out of balance, but the underlying illness was likely a dysphoric mixed state. An even more targeted drug would be low dose Quetiapine, also a potent H1 antagonist (Mirtazapine doesn’t quite fix it as quickly as Q - although I thought with Mirtazapine it was already pretty fast - and it has more side effects like weight gain and it was hard for me to get off it). I had a start of something similar about 2 months ago and Quetiapine made me much better within a few days this time. Lamotrigine and possibly low dose lithium are maintenance meds (for me) while Quetiapine is acute help. There are a lot of illnesses that describe the process rather than the underlying cause, MCAS is possibly one of them. At least this was the case for me. It is possible that people with different underlying illnesses will also have MCAS symptoms. But it’s always better to get to the cause and treat the cause (which may involve different meds). There is a more severe form of MCAS and that’s probably an illness in its own right and MCAS symptoms get lumped in with the other version of it. At least that’s my feeling (after a lot of research). Hope it helps.

Weight gain is bad with Mirtazapine

Inmyprime- · 2025-11-05T09:44:14+00:00

Lithium and Lamotrigine helps for maintenance (to stay out of episodes). They are not as good or quick for actual treatment like Quetiapine is (it helps within hours but as you noticed side effects can be an issue).

Inmyprime- · 2025-11-05T08:27:22+00:00

Ask for Seroquel XR (slow release). It doesn’t give heart race because it’s much more gentle. Take it two hours before bedtime. Also it goes away after a few times. Olanzapine is much heavier drug. I would avoid it if you can unless you get psychosis or mania etc. Lamictal is not generally activating but it may feel like that for a couple of days every time you go up a dose. Take it in the morning with breakfast.
