Tell her that. That you are grateful for her being there to talk with. sometimes all we need is someone to listen. “a problem shared is a problem halved” and it especially helps when the problem is your thoughts..

I agree, tell her what you said here.

Just express everything you wrote above:

“I’ve been having a really tough time trying to tell you this, but I just want to let you know I appreciate everything you’ve done for me. You brought me up when I was at my lowest and I honestly don’t know how I could possibly repay you for that. What you’ve done has really changed my life, I always wanted to let you know that. Thank you so much (insert name here), you’ve made a huge difference for me”

Or something along those lines (make it heart felt). But honestly a simple thank you would mean a lot to her. Consider her as a gem, people like that don’t come around often at all. People just don’t seem to care anymore. Keep her in your life. Repay her through your actions.

Like everyone else, I’d tell her what you posted here. Also, sometimes a plain “thank-you” can do wonders.
