The meaning of misery

We tend to call some woman who is too jealous and a stalker a misery but I do not think native English speakers use the word the way we do. So do you native English speakers agree with the meaning of misery? Thank you so much as usual and have a good and safe day.

Misery: informal ( Brit ) a person who is habitually depressed: he is such a misery. As you can see, we have a different meaning for the noun.
