Here are some suggestions on the type of information to include in a counseling request:

1. Give a short description of the situation that's bothering you and what you want help with.
2. Explain how you feel about this situation and the people involved.
3. How do you feel about yourself? Allow feelings to free flow.
4. Express all the self-judgments* you have in this situation.
5. Express your frustration, anger, or any other emotion you can identify.
6. Is there anything else affecting how you feel right now?
7. Can you guess what the person (people) involved in this situation feels? 
8. What's your communication usually like with them?
9. Tell us about any previous attempts to deal with this situation.

How do I create an anonymous email account?

Using your regular email account generally shows your name and possibly your workplace if you use your work email address. By creating an email account in a free service like Yahoo or Hotmail, you can create and alias and the emails can only be seen by accessing your account with a private id and password. 

If you are not comfortable with accessing even your free account from home or work, there are many places that offer internet access, including public libraries (free), community centers, schools, coffee houses, or internet/cyber cafes. Ask around in your community and you may find more options.

Use one of these links to set up a free account at Yahoo or Hotmail.
