I am almost positive that this friend is unhealthily obsessed with me, but I would like some other takes on the situation also because I also believe this may be something deeper than that...
My friend and I have been very close for a long period of time, and over this time I have learned many things about her, as well as she has me. Some very strange things have happened over this period of time that have lead me here.
About a year ago I was having very severe headaches, and I was seeing a doctor for these and they suggested I go in for an MRI to make sure that everything was okay. Of course I was very nervous, and needed someone to talk to so I tell her what's happening and strangly enough she claims that she is having one done as well in the next week. She tells me details about her doctor, and how they did hers, and many of the details seemed very different to mine. She said they were inspecting the chemical imbalancements of her brain to determine her depression... A few days later she sends me these photos of " her " MRI and I notice they look very different than mine.. She claims she has tumors in her brain, and many chemical imbalancements causing her depression.. I later have her phone one weekend I am at her house, and I was just messing with her pictures and find that she had cropped the photos and saved them from google image search... This is the first red flag that I noticed..
She later begins telling me all of these outrageous sex stories, party stories, very drawn out and loosely based on stories of my friends.. Very unbelievable as well. After she tells these, and they get out, she begins saying that she never told us those, and that she never did those things.. Also very strange.
She then tells me about her dad having cancer, her brother having cancer, her having extreme depression fits and trying to commit suicide, bragging about her depression to others trying to make us feel bad, she would say that she beats herself up (then come to school with no evidence?), say that her mom had a severe allergic reaction and was in the hospital, she had to get a CAT scan, her kidneys were failing, her mom had a tumor, ect. many outrageous things that later were found to be untrue.
I eventually decide that I was going to have to start pulling away from this person because I felt like she was always draining my energy from me. So I start hanging out with more people. Any time I ever would hang out with someone else, or give anyone more attention than I did her, she would openly admit that she felt jealous and begin to trash talk that other person to try to change my opinion of them. Also, if any guy gave me more attention than her, she would trash talk me to them..
I begin hanging out with these people, and she constantly texts me explaining how I am hurting her by doing this, and I make her feel like she is worthless by hanging out with these people. ( one day she actually showed up at my house, used the spare key to come in, and came into my room because she was upset i wouldn't come over ) Her anger with me keeps building up and she keeps saying more hurtful things to me... Calling me ugly, saying I odn't deserve the attention, ect...
One afternoon I get home from school and she calls me saying she is being sent away because she is emotionally unstable. She claims that she decided she was going to commit suicide, so she went to the counselor to let them know that she was scared it was going to be her last day... She tells me that I am the cause of this because I no longer hang out with her and I don't treat her well, and I don't need her anymore...
Another time, I was out with a friend a similar situation happened but she claimed to have beat herself up, busting her nose and lip because I wouldn't hang out with her.. But then coming to school with no evidence of either? (dramaaaa)
I just need others opinions on the situation.. I am very lost at what to do and how to handle this because she clearly is unstable, and I don't want to worsen the issues..
