I had a sense of isolation and loneliness which had been with me from childhood. As an overweight child I went on to be an obese adult.
I suffered from massive anxiety and later on in life with depression. If asked how I was I would reply 'fine', but inside felt dreadful. I recall feeling depressed in my late teens and later had postnatal depression with the births of my children. The amounts I was eating at these times increased and so did my weight - the more I ate, the worse I felt; the worse I felt, the more I ate.

We have just received a second census form, with different code than the first.
Do we have to fill both in on line.
With the floods in the North Island - and with so many people leaving it to the last minute to fill their digital forms on the 7th MARCH I expect a huge avalanche of frustration.

I expect a huge consensus will claim this census will be a disaster, but I could be wrong. I thought I was wrong once then found I wasn't wrong. Confusing isn't it.

We all love a cheeky grin and a wave from our local grocer, or a toot from the delivery driver, or a coffee order that’s ready before we arrive. These are the business owners who remind us we're home.
Give your favourite local business owner the recognition they deserve by nominating them in the 2023 Prospa Local Business Hero awards.

The Christchurch City Council's new water billing system went live on Sunday night and the first invoices for ratepayers using excess water are due to be sent out over the coming days.
The council introduced an excess water charge in October after making the decision to push ahead with the scheme in 2021.
It is not yet known how many people will get a bill, but the average charge is likely to be $83 and the maximum about $400.
Under the new rules, people will be charged a fixed rate of $1.35 for every 1000 litres they use over the 700-litre limit, which is the equivalent of 100 toilet flushes.
