it may be easier for you to get your feelings across in a letter.
那么写信告诉他们或许能轻松一些。
The nice thing about writing everything down in a letter is that you can take your time formulating your thoughts,

you could talk to them about how anxiety makes you feel physically sweaty out-of-breath and scared

The nice thing about this is even if your parents react negatively, odds are your friends won't
