An ex friend who pushed me to the point of suicide and even after that they weren't satisfied and so decided to continue to try and to make life horrible for me (message friends asking them why they were friends with a weirdo etc), openly laughing at me if they saw me. Little things but it was very intimidating.

This was a year ago. I've had no direct contact with this person at all. They also stopped doing anything to me probably 7 months ago now.

I got an instagram message (I changed my number and blocked them on all other social media) from them saying, I didn't know that you still went to x (cafe we would go together a lot). I've never seen them in there.

I got the message and almost had a panick attack .... I feel freaked out and I went home because I was that upset. Aibu?

No they've clearly had a bad impact on you and it's left you with understandable anxiety about her. Your feelings are valid x

Your response here is key, that would be your non- response as in do NOT respond. Block or whatever it is you have to do on Instagram. Continue to go to the cafe you like, thing is with bullies if you just ignore ignore ignore them and continue doing whatever it is you want to do anyway they lose their power over you. True fact.
And a big hug for coming out the other side and doing as well as you have done.

Block and ignore. There is always a chance in life that you will be in the same place as this person. If you saw them in a supermarket would you never shop there again? You've been so strong to pull away from them and move on with your life. Keep going!

I agree, block and ignore is the best tactic. Try not to let her get to you-you've moved on and you don't need her in your life any more.

Thank you. I think it is anxiety that I experienced.

They said to me that they were the happiest they'd been not being friends anymore. Then more than a year later they're still trying to be in contact? It makes no sense.

They just want to mess with your head. Dont allow it. You are in control. Block and ignore. Block and ignore.
