i don’t have much experience here but after practical stuff validating all of her feelings is a good next step. she may need to shut down / dissociate to get some distance and that may be for the best. help her take deep breaths. tell her you’re not judging her

for more serious advice from a much more experienced person try reading peter levine’s In an Unspoken Voice, the first two chapters already have good stuff:https://www.amazon.com/Unspoken-Voice-Releases-Restores-Goodness/dp/1556439431 …

If she's an IRL friend, care packages help. When I was going through some very heavy stuff a while back, I withdrew quite a lot. An A+ friend asked if she could just leave something for me on my doorstep. It was coffee, chocolate, cheese, a little stuffed animal. It helped a lot.

ooh thank you for this idea I could totally order her something I live too far away to do anything in person

If possible, order her something that's not super generic and indicates an understanding of her preferences. And if you can, opt for gift wrapping (e.g. through Amazon). It's all about reminding your friend that she's worth the effort!

One of my friends did this to me once when I was all alone on a different continent. Without exaggeration, this saved my life.
