Cap, a lightbulb just came on when I read that the second time over....when she got overhwelmed, frustrated, depressed....basically feeling bad....she would want to go out and have a good time to forget her problems. I guess that is a coping mechanism.

Perhaps it's a coping mechanism or not; I won't hazard on guess on it. You know her better.
