How to stop post-retirement depression

Julia Wallace Retirement Village

Retirement is often viewed as a time of relaxation, travel, and personal freedom. While some people look forward to no longer working, for others, it can be a time of emotional upheaval and uncertainty. You may experience feelings of sadness and loss of purpose rather than excitement and happiness. If so, you’re not alone. A feeling of depression after retirement is something that many New Zealanders face at some point.

The good news is that this is often temporary as you adjust to your new lifestyle. If you are wondering how to emotionally cope with retirement, read on to discover practical approaches for tackling post-retirement depression, improving your emotional well-being, and truly enjoying your retirement.

**$100 REWARD MISSING CAT**

Sophie from Milson

Hi everyone,
I am posting here in hopes anyone on this app has any information what so ever, my beautiful girl has been missing since the 1st of February 2026 when she escaped out of a window in our new house. We moved from Levin so she is unfamiliar with the area and we've done everything recommended to find her and bring her home. Im hoping someone on here might know anything.

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫

What’s your go-to move for a bumper harvest? Drop your best "glut" recipes or preservation hacks in the comments below! 👇
