LPT: If you have a friend or relative who is disabled, reach out to them occasionally without prompting

(Please note that I'm not reaching out for sympathy or whatever, I'm just trying to pass along some wisdom)

I'm disabled and don't work. It can get isolating, and lonely. After a while, it feels like the world is passing you by and you're forgotten. So when someone calls out of the blue just because, it helps a lot.

A friendly reminder: people can be disabled due to physical or mental illness. And if the person in question rarely leaves their house due to their disability, this LPT is twice as important.
