Crikey I've almost had it up to here...

I kind of need your help, gals/guys- especially to those of you who get a lot of comments, faves, notes, etc.

I've had various creepers/stalkers sending me messages, and I can handle that simply by ignoring or blocking. However, I occasionally get people who become really, REALLY obsessive (not in the perverted way) and they won't stop sending me messages. Some, absolutely massive messages which I just don't have the time to reply to!
The messages are now starting to get out of control now that I'm not as active on DeviantArt as I used to be, and they start flaring up whenever I don't reply. It's really scaring me and I have no idea how to handle it. I try to be polite, and at first I even tried to be friends, but things get weirder and weirder by the day until I really feel like I just can't take it rationally anymore.

Some of these people sound like they have some mental issues (and I mean that in the most respectful possible way, not "OMG THEY'RE CRAZY")- some have even admitted their problems to me. But I am just one girl, a stranger on the internet who submits cutesy artwork for people to look at. I am not a miracle worker, nor someone who has the magical ability to be friends with everybody.

I could just block them, but that would be so cold!! They're nice people, really I'm sure they are, but I just can't handle it.
What can I do?

I deeply apologise if this journal sounds disrespectful or like a drama-magnet; that is not my intention.

Love,
Peachie
