You can do it LEGALLY but getting them to follow the orders is not the same. Mentally ill persons do not operate on a fully rational level some of the time. Therefore they don't always follow rational laws or understand why their behavior and presence is a problem for you or a danger for you. It is critical that you get their family, doctor and guardians to work with you. They will need to monitor the person and help them to understand they are to avoid all contact with you. They will need to check their activities hourly.

When you do receive calls monitor your caller ID. Do not answer any phone call that does not have a number you recognize. Beware they can be tricky! Some have called other from doctor's offices and reached the person they should not be calling. They will try it from friend's homes too. Get yourself a new phone number, new email addresses, have your mail sent to a post office box if necessary and if it gets real bad have the police or district attorney's office deal with the person.

Inform your workplace of the problem and have someone escort you to your car if the mentally ill person is likely to show up at your workplace.

Set up a support system for yourself. Other people can warn the person off and contact that person's family or doctor when there are problems.

If you need other ideas ask a psychiatrist for more tips.
