My daughter is a sophomore with an excellent academic record. She started showing symptoms of loneliness during the lockdown and, when we tried to talk with her about it and she had an unexpected anxiety attack. She was happy to go back to college and after a few weeks we noticed that she is hiding something. She is leaving alone. After sharing our concerns, she disclosed that she is not well and she is seeking counseling but we are afraid she is telling us what we want to hear: counseling. We know she is not drinking etc.
Should we ask about school work at all or pretend it doesn't matter? Should we ask details about her counseling sessions, not the actual topics discussed but how often they meet, whether or not she feels better etc?
We used to be very close to her but this year we noticed how she distanced herself from us. We do not want to invade her privacy but, in the same time, we do not want her to be alone during these trying times.
Any reading recommendations would be much appreciated. Thank you very much.
