Some of you might remember me. But I was a frequent user of this subreddit before I vanished and deleted my account after an angry message about my work and life in general. I heard some of you got concerned with my last message and managed to contact Reddit HQ who then contacted NZ Police as just 2 days later I had two Policemen knock on my door and came in and ask if I was okay.

I was planning my suicide at that very moment.

If you folks haven't been concerned, I probably wouldn't be here writing this now. The Police kindly gave me a ride to ER ended up at the Crisis Centre and after a few weeks of help from the Crisis team, my family, and two close friends I have been discharged and is slowly picking up the pieces. I'm forcing myself to get out of bed every morning, shower, get out the house and go to gym every single day and my mood is improving. I'm just so incredibly thankful for everyone for helping me out.

I worry about our hospitals. 80% of new funding is going to corporate healthcare like that owned by Cecilia Robinson, Luxon's neighbour and friend.

They cut $1-2 billion from public health and diverted billions to private hospitals and telehealth providers that are heavily subusidised OVER community GPs. Community GP practices are getting eaten up in a US style takeover by big players - that are frequently donors to NACT1

ACT and NIck Mowbray want to cut public service more. Luxon and Judith Collins when she wasn't heading LC wanted to Artificial Intelligence manifold functions while Louise Upston has cut 7000 Kiwi youths of job seekers if the parents earn a combined income of $65000.

We had the second lowest voter turnout in history and 300,000 Kiwi voters were disenfranchised

Thank **** Chris Bishop will go along with Nicola Willis but the rot of NACT1 hasn't

On that note, happy days!

Love this city. Never seen a parrot on a bus, but today’s the day. 😍

I’m nearly 60 and always paid attention to who is leading us. Even as a small child. I watched Kirk’s funeral with interest and saw how Rowling was needlessly eviscerated. And I’ve come to the view lately that the current government is the worst I can remember. I’ve lived through the bonkers and out of control Muldoon years, and the bizarre disarray and infighting of the Lange-Moore-Palmer mess. And this NZ government is worse than any other. Deliberately, wantonly destructive, shamelessly dishonest, venal, vile, volatile and devoid of any charm, intelligence, kindness or wisdom. Am I out on a limb?

Northern suburbs, hope the owner knows it's roaming!
