Mental & Physical Rise
I’ve had what I can only describe as the strangest start to 2026!!
After joining the Rise with you guys mentally at the end of last month / year. I had committed myself having a better outlook on 2026 and make changes in my life for the better.
Not only have I mentally committed, my body appears to also have physically made a choice to have its very own rise too and make me more aware of what is going on within it.
I ended up in A&E of all places on Sunday with a suspected appendix issue as I was in severe, crippling pain and thinking how the hell have a managed to get the sh*t end of the stick for starting the new year.
After a lot of pain, a lot of waiting around, I was thankfully told it wasn’t an appendix issue and to head home, rest up and go back for an ultrasound yesterday. The people doing it were absolutely lovely and very thorough. After some more waiting, the doctors have stated that I have “ haemorrhagic ovarian cysts” and this can cause severe pain at times. With lots of other questions too around family, kids and whether we were planning to grow it any more. It’s left us with some reflecting and figuring out to do while we wait for an appointment with a gynaecologist to discuss further details and options.
With all this info bubbling away in my head and the way I’d been feeling towards the end of 2025, the contemplations and some of the changes that I need to make. I had the most bizarre dream last night, involving a tower, fire, Elphaba and few other strange pieces. Having looked at what it could potentially could mean, it’s shown a manifestation of how I’d been feeling, that I have certainly hit burnout, not truly belonging, needing to look after myself more and finding myself again in the is world and searching for an anchor and a place I truly belong.
Although I mentally committed to “Rise” in 2026 it appears my body is also committing to it as well and affirming that I am making the right decisions.
Thank you Suzanne and Danielle for creating this space for us, where we can share the good, the bad and the ugly with no judgement and support for us all ❤️❤️
