Now that I think about it, she may have Schizotypal Personality Disorder. It's characterized by "congitive and perceptual distortions" (like the loss of touch with reality you mentioned). She has four symptoms: 1. "Delusions of reference" (The idea that Hanna spending less time with her must be personal). 2. Odd beliefs or magical thinking. (A belief in her own omniscience and omnipresences.) 3. Suspiciousness or paranoid ideation. (Thinking that the Liars were trying to steal her best friend. 4. Lack of close friends or confidants other than first degree relatives. (Other than Hanna and Jenna, she never really had any friends.)

Unfrtunately, she can't be diagnosed officially because the criteria is five symptoms. I also think she has borderline personality disorder (Marked by her fear of being abandonded by Hanna. Also, remember how she goes on shopping binges when she gets dumped? That's another symptom) and antisocial personality disorder. (marked by her ability to harm other without conscience or remorse.) The borderline symptoms may even explain why she tried to kill Jenna. She might have feared that once Jenna got her eyesight back, she would abandon her too.
