The problem is that the people in these situations, (people following them. talking about them, conspiracy) really believe it is happening, at least my mom did. I can't say weather or not this person has bi-Polar disorder like my mother, but thats exactly what was going on with my mother before she was finally diagnosed, after being taken in an abulance for walking in below 0 temps in a nightgown...
but before that she was pretty normal, slowly slipping and becoming worse..
If you know any of her family, you could try to tell them or her. she might not realize whats going on with her, just a thought..
