Damn… Her behavior is pretty extreme. I remember when I was younger, I found myself being clingy with people who either never saw me as a friend or did and wondered what the fuck was wrong with me. I was terrified of losing people in my life and never seeing them I again. I probably pushed myself on a lot of people. I texted obsessively and expected replies immediately. I'm sure that I probably made a lot of people uncomfortable but, I couldn't see that at the time. Eventually, I thankfully grew out of this behavior, This sounds like her behavior. Deep down she probably has some type of fear or personality/neurological issue that is not being properly handled so it is being magnified onto to you. Does she do this with anybody else?
Sometimes, a situation can be worsened if one person decides to run away from the problem. You need to talk to her about this. It doesn't have to be face to face, if the idea of this freaks out. She is clearly making you uncomfortable and overstepping boundaries with her behavior. If she truly is unaware of her actions, she can hopefully get the help she needs, by bringing these behaviors to light. You don't have to stop being her friend. Just create some limits with her. Be very clear and firm on these limits. If she keeps purposely breaking them, you might want to considered ending the friendship.
