Ive seen a lot of other questions and Answers about clingy friends, and they all say to just calmly/nicely tell her shes to clingy. Its not like that with this OVERLY SENSITIVE friend whos way to melodramatic. If I was to tell her she was to clingy, she would probally cry and say I hate her. PLEASE HELP!!!

I would either A = Avoid her for a little while, until she gains a little independence from you, make plans with other people and don't include her. It may sound cruel but this may be one of those 'rip the band-aid off' situations.
Warning - she may become dependent on someone else and you may actually miss her.
Or, if our friendship was important to me, I would B = Gently Talk to her about her clinginess and why she feels the need to be attached at the hip to you, maybe there's an underlying self-esteem issue that you could help her figure out? It may help both of you.
Good luck.

just distance yourself from her in small steps not all of the sudden to where she knows. Maybe she'll get the point.

START GOING PLKACES YOU KNOW SHE WOULD HATE. AND START MAKING PLANS AND TELL HER IM SORRY BUT THIS PERSON ONLY INVITED ME AND IT WOULD BE RUDE TO BRING ANYONE" ELSE WITH ME.
