Whew, this is quite a dilemma. It's tricky to empathize and keep your distance, but that's what must be done.

You've gotten some good advice here. I would only add that you not email her, especially since you've seen that she will publish it to others. I would also avoid talking to her again without at least one witness within earshot. She seems to be setting up little scenarios whereby she can manipulate individuals and situations to fit her mindset.

I don't know if there's any way she or anybody else could find this post on the org, but you never know.

I hope the counseling dept. gets back to you soon but I would try to avoid any contact with her until you have spoken to them.

Good luck.

I didn't get to see your original post but I think I have a vague idea of what's going on. As someone who works in employment law, I will tell you that I know of a situation where a student sought some emotional support from a professor. She then spun a web wherein she bagan claimiing that she had a relationship of a personal nature and turned out to be a crazed stalker type. In the end, the professor was vindicated, but not before being dismissed from the University. People this needy should always raise a red flag. You got good advice to distance yourself and never be alone with this person
