How can I handle when my life is unbalanced?

by: Somaly

Namaste wonderful souls and dear readers, 

From August and September 2024, I had handle with my own health issues and parents health issues as well. I called as a big test and unbalance moments in my life that I never imaging and think of it. Now I asked what should I do next?,  Can I handle these at the same time? and how can I manage my health priority vs parents health?.

My parents live in countryside in Cambodia.  They turn to their 70. Cambodia health system still improving and limited with people who have low income. They did not have general health check up. my father has heart issues, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. three year ago, he went to hospital and critical illness. we almost lost him. fortunately, he became better and recovered from his illness. my mother also has high blood sugar (diabetes type 2), and high blood pressure. she was in hospital and she had critical condition. her health became stable and good progress. she might have further surgeries.

I had two surgeries for breast lump last year, and I currently found out that I have some new grow lumps. I also deal with endometriosis and adenomyosis. it could be sad and disappointed for some people however I believe in positive mindset and attitude. fortunately, I found them early stages. my health and body are going to healing and getting better in future. I believe in traditional and modern health beliefs health system.  I have been tries different methods such as follow the surgeon's instruction, have acupuncture treatments, and I also would like to have herbalist appointment in November 2024. 

During these difficult, challenges, and chaotic moments, I prayed and send positive intentions that my parents are going be health again. I also calm my emotions and mind by video calling with my parents, spending time in garden, listening some mantra, creating video contents, writing my stories, sharing my experiences, and reading some psychology books ( self-actualisation, self-help techniques, attitude change, happiness, and mental health).

I have received love and support from my families, friends, and communities. I felt safe, belong, and secure in this country. my heart is fully grateful and blessed. I learn to accepting and let's go on my expectations. there are many people who might have similar experiences and some people might face more difficult situations than my own experiences. I don't complaint or ask why I have to face these challenges in my life? these challenges and difficulties help me become stronger and be aware of my body needs.

Here are my recommend books that the books have positive messages and great stories. 

I feel release and expend my viewpoints in my life. my life can be little hard at moments, but I never lost my hope and strength. These experiences could prepare me for the better future and blessings. When I was in my 20s, I was scare and avoid these difficulties, challenges, and unbalance moments. Now I am ready to overcome these experiences. I am not alone any more. I have my families, husband, friends,  and communities who willing to listen to my stories, say positive, encouragement, and uplifting words. I feel safe, secure, belong, guided, and protected in the world. I pray for peace and comfort to everyone who has the same experiences. you are not alone. there are some people who might have far more difficult circumstances and situation in their life. I hope we can overcome these test together. 

I can't wait to visiting with my parents soon. I am going to share some beautiful moments, delicious foods, countryside view, and recommendation restaurants in Cambodia.

I have both adenomyosis and endometriosis!

by: Somaly
Namaste wonderful souls and dear readers, 
My husband and I have planed for having our babies over four years. Unfortunately, It did not happen as we planned. We spent two years for checking our general health, we visited general practitioner to specialist doctors. We had countless tests and consulted with our general health doctors. 
When I did not conceive first and second year, I decided to relax and focus on my future career in Australia. I enrolled to become an early childhood educator.  I was pretty busy for the whole two years. During my study periods, I still could not conceive. I was thinking maybe because of my stress and study commitments. we were not looking deeply or seriously checking into my health.
After I graduated from study, I felt released and relaxed. I decided to see my general doctor again. She asked to check on my uterus by doing hysteroscopy test. The hysteroscopy showed that I have both endometriosis and adenomyosis in August 2024.

https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/10857-endometriosis

I have researched and read some online article and YouTube "what is adenomyosis and endometriosis?" I could understand the meaning, some treatments, and symptoms. I could not find articles on people who have both adenomyosis and endometriosis. Now I am willing to share my experience and how I overcome my illness? To everyone who might benefit and uplift for people who just found out their hidden illness as well.  For my view points,  reading some online articles could not replace from health professionals and doctors' treatments. 

These long-term health conditions hidden many years, and I only experienced having back pain during my period, in between my periods, getting tired easily, fatigue, and have difficulty to conceived babies naturally. Even-through I found out and faced some hidden illness in 2024. I still trust with Australia health system. It might cost some money and time. I am positive with healing process and journey.  

September 2024,  I am at the begging of healing journey. I visited fertility specialist and I did the Pelvic MRI Test. I just learn, accept, and be patient with my health conditions. I have personal motivation phrase "if I cannot control or change my situations, I learn to trust and flow with the universe plan." I also just trust with my body that every cells in my body is capable of healing itself. 

This write and message help me release all my emotions and any blocks in my life. I am on a journey to become healthy again, be able to conceive our babies, and live in healthy lifestyle. I become resilient because it is a choice that I make everyday. I chose to have positive mindset and ask the right questions.

 I know I could feel all kind of emotions such as pain, hurt, sad, disappointment, and regret in my life. I never forget that I have made some good progress. I have families, friends, and support communities who accept me for who I am.  My husband, families, and friends are my real supporters and protectors. I am not hidden, but when I handle many challenges and difficult emotions. I love to quiet any noise and be quiet, so I could calm my mind and relax my body. I could regain my energy and focus for next day. 

My first tip for people who just find out that they have long tern illness:

•  Ask ourselves what should we do better, how can we handle with these challenge, reflect on our experiences, share our experiences, never lose hope, and never forget you are an important person in your life.

I am going to update and share my tips with you all in the future. Now I am have upcoming appointments, consult some health professionals, and I am going to share what I learn from them.
