[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to accept that this is about her and not you. If she didn't have issues and you had done something to upset her, the mature thing would be to reach out and talk to you about it. The fact that she didn't do that is a sign to me that the issues are more likely hers. I struggled with this for years with my long time best friend who suddenly dropped me for being a day late with a happy birthday call. In looking back over our friendship, I realized she had done similar things to other people as well and I just always rationalized it in my head somehow - until it happened to me.

[b]On the business side, if it's too triggering to take referrals from her, just decline them. She probably needs your expertise, but you don't owe her anything.[/b]

Also, as someone who has also struggled with anxiety, work on that. Find a therapist to help get yourself some healthy perspective. It did wonders for me.[/quote]

I agree.  OP, your first priority needs to be your own mental health.  If I were you, I would decline further work by saying something like, "I'm afraid I cannot take any work from you for the foreseeable future.  All the best, Larla."[/quote]
