To manage her symptoms, Rose takes a daily pill, but she credits rugby with being her most effective therapy.
“It delivers an incredible adrenaline rush,” she explains. “There’s a surge of energy in my mind, and playing helps me channel it outward.”
The Welsh front-rower began her rugby career later than many, making her international debut in 2021. She has since become a key member of the national team, earning 42 caps.
With two World Cup appearances and four Six Nations campaigns, including two PWR titles with Saracens, Rose emphasizes that rugby has been her greatest personal achievement. The sport has helped her manage her condition.
“After a grueling match, I feel drained—both physically and mentally—and that helps calm the inner turmoil,” she explains.
Rose believes her condition has given her an edge as a player.
“I do think it’s a superpower,” she states.
“Early on, I wasn’t great at catching or passing, but I excel at grabbing the ball and breaking through tackles.
“It took time to learn how to channel that anger, but now I harness it as a strength, using it to build the discipline that defines my game.”
