Current Events > Coworker slid into my DMs, not sure how to take this

(+) Yeah! (+)

She started working like a month ago, and we almost immediately became friendly since we had a few things in common. Plus she's an extrovert and I work well with them. I have her laughing at almost every joke, she's making physical contact, our other coworkers are catching on and now I'm getting shit from my manager (he's mainly joking and is a complete perv). Couple days ago I shared my Instagram/Snapchat with her and another coworker after I showed them some pics. She almost immediately slid in, nothing serious just following up jokes. She's giving me ins to take conversations more personal but I'm staying away, because she's got some *major* red flags.

-She's got a kid (Not sure if the baby daddy is still around or dead, never asked about that)
-Ratchet af
-Has mental issues, mainly anxiety (Hell one of our first conversations was about going to the same mental hospital)
-She uses drugs that I'm trying to stay the fuck away from

She's fun to be around but fuck me, I've been down this road too many times. Should I try ghosting her on social media? Dunno how well that will work.

All I'm getting is that I need to start dating again and become unavailable.

This is one of those times where you should keep your work life and social life separate.

Only the last one is a REAL red flag to me.
Unless shes trying to get sober then it wont work and will only bring you back down

It wouldve been awkward since her and another coworker asked to follow me at the same time, and Im actually okay with having a social life with the other.

Well, for me, it's always been weird dating single mothers. I'm not ready to be a role model. Also I'm sure if I fuck up, her family would like kill me or something crazy. Pretty sure she has Norteno connections. Mental illness, I already got one and there needs to be at least one somewhat stable one in a relationship.

As for the drug use, it's mainly I don't want to get dragged in. And if I do, I know I won't be doing much to help us both clean up. Plus she's on stuff I've been actively avoiding, never abused but I know it'll be hard as fuck to recover.
