Well, the solution to this is 100% recovery before you lose the first two groups of friends as described by Aristotle. Your doctor's responsibility.
Aristotle believes that there are three different kinds of friendship; that of utility, friendship of pleasure, and virtuous friendship.

Do We Become More Lonely With Age? A Coordinated Data Analysis of Nine Longitudinal Studies
Abstract
Loneliness
is a pervasive experience with adverse impacts on health and
well-being. Despite its significance, notable gaps impede a full
understanding of how loneliness changes across the adult life span and
what factors influence these changes. To address this, we conducted a
coordinated data analysis of nine longitudinal studies encompassing
128,118 participants ages 13 to 103 from over 20 countries. Using
harmonized variables and models, we examined loneliness trajectories and
predictors. Analyses revealed that loneliness follows a U-shaped
curve, decreasing from young adulthood to midlife and increasing in
older adulthood. These patterns were consistent across studies. Several
baseline factors (i.e., sex, marital status, physical function,
education) were linked to loneliness levels, but few moderated the
loneliness trajectories. These findings highlight the dynamic nature of
loneliness and underscore the need for targeted interventions to reduce
social disparities throughout adulthood.
