Wow, I am sorry to hear of your friend as well :( it's a delicate dance to be ok with all of this while dealing with the conditions, but it is our only option. Be sad and depressed with what is controlling our lives, or accept it as a hurdle and part of what makes us. Smile or be sad, the situation remains the same. Just know that no matter what happens, your friend is still the same person as before the problems. They want to do everything the same way as before, but something invisible is preventing them. It's frustrating, but understandable when attempted. Our brains control everything, emotional control, pain control, memory function, etc. Be kind to your mind and that's the best we can do. I'm sending you and your friend all kinds of positive vibes, get him/her to add me on Instagram @HippieRaysWays for inspiration and to chat if they want. Have a great day filled with smiles ❤️
