I chose work/career because I see that as most significant for me. I won't elaborate right now. The second would be friends/social relationships.
Right now my memory, motivation, focus, and confidence range from good to outstanding. That's not to say I didn't have issues with them at times during my illness, or on occasions, but they were and are not permanent. I know many people assume they will be. I strongly encourage such folks not to. Working hard with your psychiatrist and therapist to address such issues can help. Sometimes we also need to be patient as our brains heal after extended periods of severe illness. If one injures a leg, proper treatment/therapy and healing time is necessary. It's similar.
