  My friend was always good at his studies. He never came second in school. We have always been best friends. When in college, he started dating a girl. Things were going well, and after college, my friend got a lucrative job as well.  When my friend proposed to that girl for marriage, she rejected him. My friend tried a lot to convince her, but he failed. Then he became an alcoholic to cope with the situation. I told him many times but could not help him to come out of alcoholism. His parents were so tensed and sad that they called me for help. My friend was so much into alcohol that he would break things if he did not get a bottle a day. He became so vulnerable that I had to take a step. Finally, I convinced my friend and made an appointment with the  bestpsychiatric doctor near me . The doctor heard us patiently.

My son is in 3rd standard in a reputed school in Kolkata. His best friend stays nearby.

  This pandemic has influenced both our personal and professional life. It has become extremely difficult for us to differentiate both from each other. As a result, our lives are getting messed up. This work from home concept has taken all the peace of our minds. Towards the beginning of the lock down, my manager had verbally forced me to work 12 hours a day. I tried to manage at first but failed, so I directly talked with him over the phone about the situation but of no use. I had no other option than to work for at least 12 to 13 hours a day. It affected my sleep as I was under stress. Once I tried talking to the head, he also said that nothing could be done as everybody worked hard. When it was the time of appraisal, I neither got the hike of salary I expected nor could I secure the position I deserved and worked hard to achieve.  I got anxious. At first, I thought it would go with time, but my anxiety attacks kept on coming back. My wife witnessed all my whims, and she decided to
