Turn off the WiFi.
No responsibilities equals few rights- that’s life.
If she has anxiety she goes to the Dr and gets help for it. Staying in bed isn’t a life choice.

Definitely turn off wifi and get her to engage with real life in some way. I would suggest getting a job, it will do wonders for her self esteem and confidence. Plus she'll have money.
