Mental illness: Cannot be diagnosed in this way. She sounds like she may have high anxiety levels but would need to be seen by a mental health professional. Good luck.

Fine line: Sometimes there's a fine line between "faults" that are personality traits vs. Mental illnesses. Two practical ways of distinguishing would be whether or not the trait appears to be causing harm in her day to day functioning, or whether she herself perceives a problem for which she needs help.
