I obviously can't say what is going on with her but she is lucky to have a friend who cares. Last year I was hospitalized to go off a med I'd been on at high doses for a long time that was no longer working and get onto another med to replace it. I chose to do this rapidly which meant I knew going in I'd feel horrible but not for as long as I'd feel bad going through it slower.

While I was going through the change I felt like someone had pulled my skin off and I was just open nerves. I could lay in my bed with the door closed and only a little light on and read (A children's book) but I couldn't go to a group or stay in the common room for more than 5 minutes to eat. I could talk 1:1 sometimes but it was just too much most of the time. I'm sure that I seemed better when a nurse walked in and I had been in my safe bubble of a room for a while compared to when I had to interact with others.

So maybe it has to do with how she is feeling somehow? I don't know, but that's my guess.
