I don't know if she will reach out, although that tends to be her reaction. Very quickly. It terrifies me, because I have been so weak to this in the past.

Great plan. I agree with Yail that the less you talk about your feelings, the better.

I also agree that if you worry about being weak to her responses, then block her number. Just tell yourself, I will block her number for X amount of time (a week? a month?) I suggest that you do not tell her you are doing this.

If you do feel like you are going to respond to her, come here and post first. We have all been there... it's so easy to get sucked into responding in the heat of the moment. And our WAS's know exactly how to get us to respond.

Look, you've gone through a year of h3ll with your emotions. She can get all worked up in a tizzy, but think about what YOU have gone through. You don't have to cater to her emotions.
