Dear lybrate-user, please think of alternative ways of spending time with your family. Write them down in a diary. Keep getting those thoughts of alternatives forcibly in your mind. Record how less depressed you feel as a percentage. Examples of alternatives can be 1. Meeting every day on skype or telephone. 2. Visiting home town on week ends. 3. Making arrangements for family to be at chennai for few days. 4. Fixing the time frame to get the family to chennai. You can write few more alternatives by yourself or by asking your wife. Please pay me rs. 150 if this advise is useful.
