Psychiatrists help me please...I am going nuts here!?

What do you say to someone (that you have known for years) who just doesn't seem to get the point that you don't want to be around them? I've come right out and said...leave me alone, and it didn't work...I've gone to events and she shows up. None of my other friends like her hanging around so they split leaving me to deal with her solo. She calls me all the time and sends emails. I am able to delete the emails and avoid the phone calls at home because of caller i.d. but I'm not so lucky when she calls me at my job. I've had people screen my calls at work for me, but thats a lot to ask another coworker when they have work to do as well. This chick doesn't get the clue. What does it take...a call to the police? Help...I'm going nuts. My social life is limited now because of her and its getting to the point where the only way to avoid her is to either stay at home or move out of my town. And I am not even sure that would work. Any suggestions?

Get a restraining order. Then tell her you got it, so if she keeps doing it, you will call the police. Document the incidents in a notebook, get the restraining order, and call the cops if she keeps doing it. Tell her its over, she needs to move on, you aren't going to say it again. She will stop.
Reply:I am not a psychiatrist but I have a couple ideas. First of all, put a block on her emails. If that is not possible, create a new email account (one of the free ones like hotmail) and email her and tell her you have changed your email address and for her to email you at the new address. Gmail is a free service. Secondly, start going to all together different places. If you go to one particular mall, pizza place, movie theater, etc. quit going there and go somewhere else even if it is out of your way. Once she can't find you at your usual haunts she will get upset and stop looking for you after a while. At work, get a friend to answer your phone calls and tell her you are in a different department and she is not allowed to give out your phone number where you are now. Once she can't reach you anymore she should leave you alone. If she comes to your house, don't answer the door or let her know you are even home. Hope something works.
Reply:Wow and you've told her to leave you alone?


When she calls-pick up and tell her "I really wish you would stop calling me, and I don't want to be your friend" and then buy a German Shepherd to protect you.
Reply:im no psychiatrist but hopefully i can help you here, dont let that stalker woman make you move out of your own home. she has no right i think you should seriously meet up with her and slam the truth to her face. you might be afraid to but yo might even be happy you did it. say something like "look woman i dont know what you want from me but your stalker self needs to get away from me and leave me alone. i cant even live a normal life because of you. if you contact me one more time through emails phonecalls texts wherever i will call the police and not let it pass."
