I have a "friend" who makes my life miserable. I could give examples, but it would turn into a short novel. She's nothing but trouble and everything she touches turns to crap. She's ruined more lives than you can imagine. If I didn't know better I'd say she was cursed or demonically possessed - she's definitely mentally ill. Even talking to her through email is emotionally draining. Everything she talks about is negative and she's her own worst enemy, so there's no helping her. I stopped seeing her or talking to her on the phone 4 months ago - and my life is getting better - but she continues to haunt me online. Here are some subject lines from emails she's sent me lately:

Hit me in the head...hard
Another week...potential Hell
Kill me now
To make things worse...
Shoot me now
To make matters worse
Why f*cking try?
More Hell
Hell warmed over
F*uck life
Another day in Hell


You get the point. You can imagine the joy of reading the contents of these emails. They're always the same.

I've tried ignoring her messages but if I don't bring a present to her pity party it makes things worse. She starts going psycho.

I went by my local Wal-Mart the other day and saw someone who looked like her in the parking lot. I had an anxiety attack that lasted over 20 minutes.

Anyone know how to deal with people like this???
