Ensuring no contact. Feels amazing

So, I have been out of town for a while. I had a trip to NYC for a week with my best friend to help forget about things. I got back to work and it has been busy, so my mind has been preoccupied. Which has helped.
A few weeks ago (around February 8th or so), my BPD restricted me (not blocked) on facebook. I thought the timing was very odd. I had finally stopped reaching out to her or talking to her and I did not invite her to anything since the beginning of January. She then finds an excuse to contact me about "work" after a few weeks of avoiding her. Suspicious, because she is the liaison for a different office than mine and has no reason to contact me directly. She did that, then texted me, then restricted me on facebook. She could still see my stuff, but I could not see her. Today, I finally decided that I don't have to be nice. I get taken advantage of, because I am a pushover. I blocked her on facebook. It felt much better than I could have though. Not sure why, but just feels like she is done. I am not inviting her to anything. If we talk again, it is because she reaches out to me about "work". None of my friends/coworkers like her, so they will not be around her either. She has tried to do that in the past. I have informed them and they have noticed it anyhow. If she does email me about work, I am calling her out, forwarding it to my boss and reporting it. I just feel so much better today. I don't have to deal with her.

Wow, you are a true inspiration! Good job with blocking her and not giving her access to manipulate you any further.
