This is not the newest research but very I teresting connect between emotional burnout and sensitivity to noise. Any other mothers out there one cry, one battery operated toy, one ridiculous YouTube video away from breaking down? Maybe it's time you checked in with yourself. Listen to what your body is telling you and give yourself some love!

Emotional Exhaustion Can Lead to Noise Sensitivity - Depression Center - EverydayHealth.com Emotional exhaustion can make you irritable and depressed & stress can get you down, but a new study shows it can also make women more sensitive to sound.

Spent some time in Maastricht, NL 9th World Congress, learning about the state of women's mental health and new research initiatives. Also got a chance to share my experience in integrating mental healthcare with prenatal care.

STRONG

When they see you as a strong woman, they think that you do not need anything or anyone, you can bear everything and will overcome whatever happens. That you do not mind being listened to, cared for or pampered.

When they see you as a strong woman, they just look for you to help them carry their crosses. They talk to you and they think you do not need to be heard.

A strong woman is not asked if she is tired, suffering or falling, if she has anxiety or fear. The important thing is that she is always there: a lighthouse in the fog or a rock in the middle of the sea.

The strong woman is not forgiven anything. If she loses control, she becomes weak. If she loses her temper, she becomes hysterical.

When the strong woman disappears a minute, it is immediately noticeable, but when she is there, her presence is usual.

But the strength that is needed every day, to be that kind of woman, does not matter to anyone.

Honor, recognize, respect and thank the strong women in your life, because they also need to be restrained, loved and feel that they can rest.
