How can I help my adult kid?
Hiya there...I am a mother of a 22yo that just graduated college and they is in a major funk. This kid THRIVED in college-graduated near the top of their class, took Japanese 'for fun', really peaking. They have never really had friends-social skills are tricky for them. They are working a p/t job, not in their field. Immediately after graduation-they started sleeping all the time, not leaving the house, really struggling (mind you, these behaviors are normal for them in the summer-no structure is super hard for them.) Now we are a month into graduation, they have put their resume out there (no bites) and they are stuck. Still going to the gym/martial arts classes-but other wise sleeping a ton and not doing anything else. I encouraged them to go to a therapist, which they did and are seeing regularly- but what else can I do? They don't want to talk to me (sometimes they do, when they think I may be helpful) and I keep reaching out to them...I encouraged them to join the gym (which they did) and to get dressed and shower/eat every day but I'm at a loss. I'm trying baby steps. I don't know how to help my kid. Any advice? I know the world seems so bleak right now, I get how they feel, but I want to help. Thanks for your thoughts.
