Hi Karan, Need not worry, you will be alright, provided, you incorporate some change in your lifestyle. I can understand the compulsion involved in IT field. Sleepless nights, nonrhythmic pattern of living and biodrives like sleeping, eating etc. Since you have plenty time in the day, (a) Check your present job if comfortable or you need a shift/better career avenue.(b) I presume either you are unmarried or living away from family. In either case, take a vacation and get yourself refreshed being with the near and dear with a tour or such program. In most circumstances, the loneliness is a fact which has to be addressed. In a nutshell, take a break and go for a rethinking. Open up with someone with whom you can confide. Spend time to read some books from the SELF HELP series. You have a good potential to be positive, as you clearly mentioned about the shift to a positive side. In case, you find it still hard, check for the mental health professionals available in town and consult for a person to person (one-o-one) session. Happy days ahead !
