So if you didn't already know, I've decided to take a leave of absence from school and go into the hospital. My life is really shit right now and it's only getting worse. So I e-mailed the Dean of Students here at Oxy to get his opinion. The letter is as follows:

Hello my name is ***** *******, we spoke about two weeks ago. I have a question I want to ask but I'm not really sure how. My mother mentioned to me that students had taken a leave of absence. I have thought a lot about this and believe this is the only way I am going to get better. I have not mentioned this to anyone because I wanted to get your opinion first. I do not feel I can continue this semester without proper treatment and that would require that I leave school. It has been suggested to me that I do not continue pushing myself towards an unattainable goal. I would like your opinion on this matter before I go any further. If you could get back to me on this as soon as possible I would appreciate it. Also, if you would not inform my mother (though I'm sure you wouldn't), I do not plan to involve her at this point in time. Thank you so much for your time.

Professional enough? I think so. Though it sounds a little desperate to me. Hopefully he'll get back to me today so I can let you know what he said.
