Obsessiveness in Phone Calls and Text Messaging

[Jayson]

I have a close friend who calls and texts me obsessively all the time and often it's abusive, and for no reason I deserve. Well, it starts out good and then like in some demonic possession, she starts saying mean things on the text and she starts making phone calls of which she hangs up. Finally, she threatens to call the cops on me (and she really has before) even though I have no physical contact with her at all.

What should be done? Should I block her?

That is toxicity pro max. If you keep giving this person who is obviously going through mental issues the chance to keep messing with your sanity, you won't know when you would fall into deep depression. Just cut ties with such a person. And let her fix her mental health first.

That's the same conclusion I've come to.

I've met the person before. I feel sorry for her because of her mental disability, so I am slow to act.

Sounds like anger issues. People walking around with all that anger always find a way to release some of it, or better yet, push it onto someone else.
You could block her, but I’m guessing she would just find another way to get to you.
I’m guessing she can sense you are a kind person, so in a way, she feeds off your energy while unloading her own toxic energy and it helps her in a very weird way.
Cut all contact, temporarily, until she learns to manage herself better or gets some help.
Calling the police on you is a very serious issue, steering clear of her will protect you from that happening again.

Obsessiveness in phone calls and text messaging can indicate anxiety or insecurity. Constantly checking for responses or over-communicating can create unnecessary stress and strain relationships. It’s important to establish healthy boundaries, practice self-control, and seek professional help if it becomes overwhelming.

Yes, block her. Protect your mental health.

Before blocking her I would reach out and give her resources on how she can improve her mental health. Then explain to her that you're no longer wanting to talk to her because she's harassing you.

This is very possible if she is the type that I'd ready to learn. There are a lot of people who are never ready to learn no matter how much you try to assist them.

Do you care about her, is she someone very close to you or very important to you? Well, in that case help her. Convince her to see a therapist. If you don't care about this person and if she is causing you a lot of stress, it is better to stay away.
