I'm so bad at confrontation, too. I would probably start by drawing some boundaries. Set your phone to not alert you to texts after a certain time of night, then just respond some time the next day when you have a chance. If she gets clingy about it, it's perfectly reasonable to say that you were sleeping and responded when you had time. If that's not enough, set up "date nights" or "quiet nights" when you just aren't available. No adult should need a friend to be available 100% of the time.
If she handles that really badly, then I think you may find it easier to tell her that the relationship isn't healthy for you any more. As it is, it sounds almost like a verbally/psychologically abusive friendship. At the least, she's unreasonable and needs to become more independent. Good luck. I wish I had better advice.
