"Trust me, I would like to call her but I just feel like anything that I do right now is going to make her feel like I'm getting between her and her goal of being free."
Mindreading. And stop contradicting me.
"It does really stress me out that I have changed so much and she can't see it"
That's why you needed to call her. You wouldn't so why are you stressing? It was your choice.
"Anybody else have thoughts? I would really like to have an excuse to contact her "
She's your W. That should be excuse enough. Ask how she is even though she texted you about it.
IMO, if you don't do this within the next week. You WILL be D and you will not see her again. Put it to you this way, if you call her and she doesn't like it, what's she going to do D you? Oops already happening.
Psych yourself up first so that you don't break down. Keep it light and friendly.

Emotion, yet peace. Ignorance, yet knowledge. Passion, yet serenity. Chaos, yet harmony. Death, yet a new life.
