Stuff and The Press are investigating the impact retirement can have on mental health.

While retirement is typically a happy, relaxing time of life, Age Concern says it can be very difficult for some as they experience a sense of loss, self worth and a lack of purpose.

We understand this is a sensitive topic, but we want to chat with a retiree who has initially struggled with retirement and may have felt these, or similar emotions.

If you're happy to share your experience please contact reporter Laura Baker by phone 03 943 2837 or email laura.baker@fairfaxmedia.co.nz

Deejay from Halswell

Hi everyone.
On Friday afternoon my sisters cat was seen being taken into a car by
a male and young female on vernon drive Lincoln. He is a very old cat, 15yrs. and is very skinny because of his age so he could be assumed homeless but he has a collar and most of the neighborhood know him as he is very socail and loves nothing more than roaming his nearby streets in lincoln (new world aswell). Please anybody if you see or hear of this having happened contact me asap as he will be beyond terrified.
His name is oscar and he is ginger, very skinny and has a blue collar.
