« quand cette image a été prise, je souffrais d’une sévère dépression post-partum. On ne dirait pas, mais juste quelques heures avant que cette image a été prise, j’ai tenté de myself suicider. Je pleurais depuis deux semaines. Une heure après que cette image a été prise, je suis montée sur scène et j’ai participé à un spectacle afin de mon église, comme si tout allait bien. »

« Cette picture à été prise durant ma deuxième stage de dépression post-partum. Trois semaines plus tôt, j’avais été admise à l’hôpital afin de dépression post-partum, anxiété post-partum et état de anxiety post-traumatique chronique et aigu. Je n’étais pas sortie de l’appartement depuis des mois, et cette image a été prise le jour où mon mari nous a traînés dehors, mes fils et moi, afin de prendre le soleil. Je luttais contre les souvenirs de mon hémorragie post-partum, des idées suicidaires et des pensées intrusives. »

« Quand cette photo à été prise, je souffrais de dépression et d’anxiété post-partum sévères. On ne dirait pas, mais j’avais l’impression d’être une mère horrible. J’avais eu des idées suicidaires quelques mois auparavant. J’avais des pensées intrusives et chaotiques, éprouvant des instants de trend que je ne pouvais pas expliquer ni comprendre, transpirant en permanence à cause de mon anxiété. Je faisais au moins une crise de panique par jour et je myself sentais fréquemment engloutie par ma tristesse, ce qui rendait le fait de sortir du lit douloureux et épuisant. »

On ne dirait pas, mais j’avais des flash-backs très nets du travail et de l’accouchement, je pleurais à chaque fois que j’étais seule et myself sentais coupable de ne pas aimer mon bébé autant que sa grande soeur. Je pensais que je devenais folle. »

« Quand cette picture a été prise, je souffrais d’accès de fureur liés à une dépression post-partum. On ne dirait pas, mais j’étais extrêmement irritable et n’importe quelle petite plumped for myself mettait hors de moi. Je hurlais constamment et je jetais des choses (comme le panier à linge) contre le mur afin de us retenir de frapper mes enfants. J’avais l’impression d’observer mes mauvaises réactions aux conditions du quotidien, sans avoir la capacité de m’arrêter. »

Je myself rappelle une fois m’être cachée dans ma chambre pendant a quarter-hour en pleurant, parce que j’étais convaincue que tout le monde pensait que j’étais folle. »

Hacked? John Kerry honors ‘all our truth tellers’ in the press

Today is World Press Freedom Day, and Secretary of State John Kerry recognized the event by releasing a statement “honoring all our truth tellers in a noble cause.”

http://twitter.com/#!/JohnKerry/status/462666034127077376

“People everywhere count on a free press to keep us informed, hold leaders accountable, filter fact from fiction, and unmask false narratives masquerading as truth,” wrote Kerry, who was subpoenaed this week to testify before a select committee on Benghazi.

Mockery of Kerry arrived faster than a swift boat.

Turbo The Two-Legged Chihuahua Has A Wheelchair Made Out Of Toys

This resilient little pup isn’t letting a birth defect hold him back! h/t Today

1. Meet Turbo, an adorable Chihuahua puppy who is missing his front two legs.

2. Due to a birth defect, the legs in question are severely under developed.

3. The couple who owned the litter brought Turbo to veterinarian Amy Birk, the hospital manager at The Downtown Veterinarian in Indianapolis.

4. With Turbo’s best interests in mind, the couple insisted that they did not want the lively puppy to be put down.

5. The immediate challenge became clear: dogs with disability aren’t typically fitted for carts until they’re at least 6 months old, due to their rapid growth. Turbo was only 4 months old, but in need of some help.

6. So Birk and her team took matters into their own hands.

7. And after some trial and error…

8. …they cracked the code.

9. Birk and her team managed to build a makeshift cart of their own out of wheels from a Fisher Price helicopter and pipes from a toy welding kit.

10. Turbo is apparently gaining weight and is “on the right track healthwise.” In an interview with Today.com, Birk reports, “He’s got a lot of life in him.”

Here it is. The worst kind of finance FOMO: failing to have purchased a Class A share of Berkshire Hathaway when one cost $2,750 in December of 1987.

The conglomerate, run by billionaire Warren Buffett, saw its stock hit the insane price of $200,000 today for the first time. That makes it more than 60 times pricier than Seaboard Corp., the company that has the next highest stock price on U.S. exchanges, according to Noah Buhayar of Bloomberg News.

Berkshire Hathaway is one of the world’s biggest companies by market value, holding a diverse array of companies, such as Geico, Burlington Northern Santa Fe, Fruit of the Loom, Benjamin Moore and Dairy Queen, among many others. Last year, its revenue exceeded $180 billion and it earned a net profit of $19.5 billion.

Buffett, known as the “Oracle of Omaha” for his legendary investing prowess, created Class B shares in 1996 to make it easier for smaller investors to invest in Berkshire Hathaway. Those closed at $133.08 yesterday.

Berkshire Hathaway Class A shares since the early 1990s.

If your role at work requires a lot of sitting, take breaks that incorporate moving around or minor exercises. Furthermore, you should stand up at least once every hour. Stay active at home, walking regularly and minimizing television time.

Try things like healthy social activities, relaxing techniques and eating healthy.Minimize your anxiety by joining a yoga class with some friends. When you are on a yoga mat, it can erase feelings of frustration and help you to focus on the positives that life has to offer.
