    What do i do here?

    We know each other a few months.

    Now struggling means I can't see her and she won't answer the phone, she has no energy for that.

    She sees a psychologist weekly.

    Move this to PI if you want serious advice IMO.

    As for what you do, not a lot of she doesn't engage with you.
    Encourage her to see her psychologist and to look after herself.
    Other than that, not a whole lot you can do.

    Have you banged her yet?

    There's not a lot you can do if she doesn't want to talk. Just let her know that you'll be there when she does feel up to it. Or that there doesn't even have to be any talking; you can just physically be there in the room with her. Sometimes, when you're struggling, just having someone 'in your corner' can be a huge source of comfort.

    Is it the Vitamin Dick she's lacking?

    Maybe she doesn't have the energy to engage with a new friendship?
    Maybe she thinks you have a romantic interest and is not into it and doesn't want to hurt your feelings?

    I'd examine yourself first and also what she may perceive your intentions to be.

    If she wants space give it to her. Maybe let her know you are an available friend if she needs one and give her space.

    Physically being there is great, nothing like sharing the physical company of someone who cares for you, wants to be sure you're ok and will mind you whilst you scream in a pillow.

    For an acquaintance of a few months? in a pandemic? And whilst they are already under the care of a mental health professional?

    Not something I'd be in rush to get involved with.
    Arm's length and then some.

    Depends on how close you are to the person, but yeah, maybe not someone you've only known a few months.

    A lot of people here trying to be edgy for the sake of it, it would seem.

    The OP was warned to move this in fairness. After hours is a cesspit that would put Twitter to shame

    As others have said a quick piss blast has been scientifically proven to help in these situations.

    Don't take it too seriously. It's the internet.
