JenStar,
It's possible to break off a friendship and still feel good about yourself.
This woman, this *friend*, needs a therapist very badly, and she's been trying to get therapy from *you*: she's even paid for it with little gifts (that you don't want! Don't accept them! Say "No, absolutely not. I can't take that. I don't want it." The world will not end). And tell her she needs professional help. Don't bother to try and couch anything. She's most likely the kind of person who wouldn't take it the right way, no matter how much you really cared. And you do care; that is obvious from your post. Don't be a sitting duck anymore. She should be paying someone who's trained to help her. She does have problems. You're not one of them.
