It'll suck for a good while but then you'll realize the world is open to you and there are millions of women/men waiting for you out there. The world is your oyster. Embrace it rather than let it cripple you. I've been there - divorced at 27 but happier now at 31 than I've ever been.

Go out with friends. As frequently as possible. When you're off alone, it's easy to dwell on things and get depressed. Surrounding yourself with good people sends your morale up and quickly reminds you that you're fine.

I am hesitating to take lead role. But for my experience (8 YOE) I will have to take up that role at least in my next switch.

Could you please suggest me how can I come out of this fear. I am afraid of taking lead role because of below things.

2. Had to attend every requirement call and as well as technical review calls. (When BA is not good, need to provide acceptance criteria points).
3. Providing and justifying resource/work estimates.
