Dear blkhwkdwn1:

It’s better to not tell her “if you still wanna talk and see me message me before Aug 1”, I don’t think she does well with due dates, and you giving her another due date will cause you lots of frustration because you give her the power to reach out to you- or not- by a particular date.

Telling her “to not reach out to me until I reach out when I am ready” reads like a way better option than the above because you leave the power to yourself- to reach out to her-or not- whenever you want to.
