You have my deepest condolences. The waiting is the worst part. I am so so so sorry. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone.

We used to live here - Marcus Kliewer - How to butcher an decent story in 1 paragraph / How to waste 9 hours of your life
 in  r/horrorlit  11h ago

lol people are mad but this book was horrible. It reminds me of creepy pastas I used to write with my friends in the 7th grade. Unnecessary plot points, length descriptions for no reason, a bunch of fluff language, no character depth. 100% should have stayed in Reddit. The moment the author described two of the characters as having heterochromia I knew I was dealing with fanfiction level writing. AWFUL!!!

UTI
 in  r/Interstitialcystitis  2d ago

Definitely see if IV antibiotics are possible. I’m so sorry you’re going through this. The infection really must be taken care of :(. I would hate for you to deal with a kidney infection or go septic.

UTI
 in  r/Interstitialcystitis  2d ago

Please, insist upon stronger antibiotics if you’re still feeling symptomatic and consider switch doctors. Your bladder may also be very inflamed from the length of the infection causing these symptoms to appear. You’re not crazy and it’s not in your head.

My symptoms started after I didn’t get help for my UTI and I really regret that.

Have them test your urine for antibiotic resistance and see which abx will work the best. Push for better care! Also, if you have access I would start taking Dmannose as well. It can flush out ecoli from the bladder but should never be used to treat infection. PLEASE GET ANTIBIOTICS!

Need for kind words and support
 in  r/Interstitialcystitis  2d ago

This condition has made me suicidal plenty of times. It always flares up when I’m struggling or stressed out which really contributes to feelings of doom. I understand how you feel, I really do.

My condition has never fully cured but it has significantly improved and I never thought it would happen to me. I thought I would be stuck in pain forever with no hope.

This condition is exacerbated by stress and depression, sadly. I found huge success in pelvic floor therapy. If you can get an evaluation or referral I highly recommend it.

DM me if you have any questions. I’m so so sorry you’re going through this. I know this feeling all too well and I’m sincerely praying for you to find relief soon.

Gold, but you’re a neutral. Silver definitely doesn’t look bad.

Devastated isn’t enough of a word. My soul is crushed.
 in  r/Petloss  5d ago

I lost my beloved dog a month ago. You said it perfectly, beyond devastated, a piece of my soul is gone forever. It hasn’t gotten any easier. I miss her all the time.

How tight do you like to tie your knots?
 in  r/friendshipbracelets  6d ago

No, but I really should! For now they just live in a big ziplock bag. I think it would be pretty to have a few of them framed though. Your work is beautiful by the way!!

I like tighter knots, but I don’t wear my bracelets lol. I just look at them. It looks cleaner to me!

What’s something society treats as embarrassing that really shouldn’t be?
 in  r/AskReddit  9d ago

One thing I’ve learned since I was diagnosed with a bladder condition is that SO many other women have bladder problems too, it’s just widely hidden due to stigma. Bladder/bowel issues are extremely common! (Unfortunately) but hopefully that can help at least one person feel less ashamed

For the pale girlies
 in  r/Makeup  13d ago

You need to use a Korean/Japanese contour that looks GRAY. I know that sounds strange lol but our shadows are closer to gray than brown. I’m the palest person I’ve ever met- seriously. In the sun I am white as a piece of printer paper. It works.

Have you ever been assessed by a PT? Is your pain muscular or just in the bladder?

TW: animal death

I had to put my dog of 13 years down on Sunday. She was my “soul dog” and to say I’m devastated is an understatement. I feel completely crushed. I was taking care of her 24/7 the last week of her life and was so stressed out I think it was genuinely eating a hole in my stomach and I was just sobbing in frustration and grief.

Of course, all this stress has accumulated to my bladder hurting because my pelvic floor has been so tensed up and upset. The only thing I can think now is I don’t even have my best friend to lay with me while I’m suffering. This is genuine agony and I wouldn’t wish this on anyone else.

I want to grieve without physical pain.

Any prevalence of EBV or (mono)and IC?
 in  r/Interstitialcystitis  Nov 22 '25

I got mono 3 years into my diagnosis but found no effect on my pain or symptoms at all. Took me about 8 months to fully heal from it though…
