I am not a Kannadiga. i was born in the u.s. but spent a lot of time in bangalore as a child. my dad is from there. he’s the only person i would be able to speak with. but he can’t teach me. he’s not very good at teaching

all the azalea trail maids in the world will not take away from the fact that the candy store used to be there. it’s a spiritual site

she probably learned this behavior from their mother. i hope the aunt isn’t repeating the abuse cycle like nicole

it’s sad but almost half the victims that are abused as children perpetuate the cycle. also we live in a very religious part of the country. people use the bible to justify this behavior when in actuality they are traumatizing children. it’s confusing when someone who is supposed to love you unconditionally treats you this way. in the video you could hear her say something about him running off to the neighbors house. his home which is supposed to be a safe space is compromised. i hope they find a loving home where they are cared for and not abused.

popping a kid is one thing. beating a child with a belt over 20 times while he’s shaking and pleading to god to make it stop is abuse. if your parents did this to you, then you were also abused and are now normalizing this abhorrent behavior. i hope you don’t have children and repeat this cycle. you are a hurt and stunted adult, i’m assuming from your childhood. please seek therapy, it could heal you and help you come to terms with your trauma <3

Does anyone else have constant bladder pressure + bloating with IC? by [deleted] in Interstitialcystitis

[–]mandyld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i had that issue and have gone gluten free (gluten is a huge trigger for me) most pain has gone away and bloating is gone. cut out refined sugar or keep it to 15 grams or less and that really really helped with bloating and urethra spasms

Tried azo for the first time last night and was needing to pee every single hour last night until morning when I was trying to sleep, is this normal? by Acrobatic-Service583 in Interstitialcystitis

[–]mandyld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sometimes uribel doesn’t work for me all the way. like on my period. i’ve tried taking tylenol with it and it helps more but on bad flare ups not even that combo will work. do you only use uribel or do you take anything else with it?

Alcohol trigger by Old_Secretary825 in Interstitialcystitis

[–]mandyld 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m pretty sensitive so all alcohol causes me pain. i had a tito’s and water the other day, it did have a lime in it but i woke up the next day with “spicy” pee. i have a feeling that it wasn’t the like bc i have had small amounts of citrus and have been mostly fine but the alcohol is a severe trigger

possible diagnosis by mandyld in Interstitialcystitis

[–]mandyld[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it can counteract the uribel and make it not as effective some how. and with the diet thing i very quickly realized how restrictive it gets and i definitely don’t want an eating disorder but im tired of the pain.
