Telling Someone You Are Struggling

Purpose: Find the words to let one person know you are having a hard time.

When to use: Use this when you have been carrying something alone and want to say it out loud.

Worksheet prompts

1. Who could you tell? Name up to three people.
2. Write your opening line. Keep it short and true.
   'I have not been doing well. Can we talk?'
3. What would you want them to do?
4. What will you do if it does not go the way you hoped?
   Who else is on your list?

Saying it out loud once makes the second time easier.
