 I started disconnecting with my friends because I didn't want to pretend. I didn't want to lie when they asked me how I was doing. But I had this one persistent friend, and she said that, Neerja, you need to get out of the house. You need to be out for a few hours. And I resisted. I said, oh, I still have a middle schooler at home. And I was very scared, actually. I didn't want to go back to work after 18 years. I was extremely nervous.
