I've mentioned in the past that there is a casual friend who just simplay doesn't seem to care about keeping in contact with others for weeks or even months at a time. She has been this way for years. Well, recently she has suddenly increase her willingness to hang out. Yes she has always been on and off but even during the brief times she responded to me, it only laster for a matter of days and if we did hang out, she just didn't seem to care or that she did not want to be bothered.

Now, all the sudden she wants to hang out all the time. Sje texts me more times within a week or two than she has combined within the last three years when she first started exhibiting her on and off behavior. There is nothing wrong with it and I am glad she is willing to put in effort, but her sudden spike in energy has me wondering what is going on. Not only did I assume she wanted nothing to do with me, but I even wondered if she was depressed and even asked her a couple tomes. She said she wasn't but she could have easily just wanted to keep that private.

When we do hang out, she is extremely energetic, almost hyper even. It makes me wonder if she has severe ADHD or even bipolar disorder. Again, I don't mind hanging out with her but her sudden energetic mood change has me wondering at times. I'm sure, like always, she will go back to no contact again. I bet you a hundred dollars it will happen. But for now, I am glad she is putting in effort, even though I am secretly wondering what is causing her sudden spike in energy and willingness to hang out.

That means what I suspected in the past and from what I was told by someone else was true. She would constantly claim to be busy, even wjen she wasn't actually working or going to school and I was even told by one of her parents a while back that she just uses that excuse for everyone and that she chooses to do nothing but sit at home all day and not care about anything or anyone. I figured that was the case from the beginning. So that is why I am wondering if her sudden increase in her wanting to hang out more so now than she ever did in the past three years combined. Her excessive energy is one I haven't seen in her in years. So that's why I suspect severe ADHD bipolar, major depression, or something else that I am unaware of.

You could very well be right. Hopefully, her parents will catch on soon. Best wishes.

Drugs? Possible she is getting treatment for whatever was going on before? Can you ask about it.

I am one of those people who wants to be away from people all the time. Hanging out is just not my thing and I get very little enjoyment from it. And frankly, never actually had any drug change that. I guess I am just two awesome to share with anyone else.

I agree. Hopefully they will too. They know she has ADHD obviously, but I'm not sure if they realize some of the symptoms she is displaying may also be coming from anxiety or depression as well since most people who have ADHD have anxiety or depression.

Yeah it is possible she is getting treatment for whatever may be going on, most likely depression or severe anxiety since most people with ADHD have depression and anxiety as well. It is possible she could even be bipolar.
