[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven’t been through this exact thing so I can’t give any advice.  But, it sounds like she trusts you and has made quite a bit of progress in just a few months.  Is it possible that the old friends were part of the problem and she would do better finding new friends and new activities?  Creative pursuits are really healing.  Maybe a woodworking class or a pottery class to feel like she is still learning and moving forward? [/quote]

I know her University friends were part of the problem, but from what I know her old childhood/high school friends are all great girls. No drug use, been friends since middle school, kept in contact all throughout college. I do think shame/embarrassment is a part of her hiding and not reaching out. But it makes me sad, since I know how important community can be especially as a young adult.

I've been trying to get her into classes or activities and I think maybe I should push more. Used to play piano now she doesn't, used to be an avid reader, barely picks up books. She goes to the gym and I've started going to yoga with her, just trying to keep her mind busy
