Just tell her how you feel, be honest. Express to her in the letter both why you think you need help; and why you feel you need help. While how you think and feel appear to be the same thing, they are not, let me explain. What you think, at least how I define it, is the progression of logic that brought you to you decision. Stuff such as “I read…..”, “I saw…..” or “I heard…..” fall into this category. But they are all based on facts.
How you feel is just as it sounds. How you feel on a personal level about life, love, and the world. Feelings can be hard to put into words, or it is hard to get the words to match the emotion you are trying to express. Be very specific with your words, don’t lever her guessing. Don’t just say,“it makes me sad” because that could have so many meanings. Say instead, “when you …………………………. I do not even want to get out of bed because I am so sad” or “when he……………………………….it destroys me because…………….”. Communicate your exact feelings, when you assume she will understand things you are setting yourself up for disaster.
