I've seen first hand something similar with a person I have known. It was similar detail (in a sense that it would seem inconsequential to everyone else - bent pages in some work log on a day he made a mistake only he knew about) that mightily added to his sense that peope at the company he worked at were after him for some small oversight he made. He was not sleeping well or at all, ruminating, and well on the road to a major breakdown or suicide. We managed to save him, by taking him to a psychological crisis management center, where he stayed for a few weeks, got a big change in his daily routine, found some new friends and was able to recover. Might as well be that she simply was unlucky, that she stayed in contact with people who added into her fears/anger and paranoia, instead of pulling her out of her daily context and meaningfully opposing what seemed overblown and crazy about her thinking, helping her see alternative ways to achieve what she wanted, etc.
