What do you think about this E-mail

Hi G,

Just wanted to tell you I could not be at school today, last night I couldn't fall asleep (4 am still awake) I wasn't feeling well today. I tried to still think about going though, but I couldn't.
I really wish I could have joined the class today.
I love school so much because It is the path to a nice job.
But to be there every day can be hard for me, even though mostly i am at school almost everyday of the week but still there are days that i can't, It goes better tho, i just progress a lot of stuff.

Only very occasionally there are days that i have a downset and that is often associated with difficulty falling asleep so I won't be relaxed next day.
And besides that I have panic attacks but I know that if I just go to school later in the day it does get better. Just have to break through it.

However, every individual has had one day that he is not feeling well or is sick and I have some stressy days.
My parents keep telling me that I shouldn't stay at home too much because I could lose school, And it haunts me, I because that would be a shame!
So I really hope I will not miss out on this opportunity! [it really makes me scared to death] I think it's such a fun course and I fight hard to make the best out of it.
It is so important to get a degree for me, because It was impossible for me within 3 years (caused by trauma).
And I know that school is the start of a bright future, a great job and such!

I would like to inform you that my parents are available meeting at 6 December. What times are still possible? (parent-talk thing)

They would like to make a chat about school and talk about the results of my work.

I thought I just give it to you,
Because you said to me and my parents that we should inform you by E-mail if I stay at home. So you are aware of today.

See you tomorrow

Sincerely,
S.

I'm really worried about what I wrote to him... Isn't it a stupid E-mail?
I was really open about my life with difficulties, is this a good thing?
I know he is really respectful but still I'm such an idiot i think..
I am a long writer i could have written a short email... :/
just short and clear... i'm so insecure about this email now..

What do you guys think::(:::(:::(::confused:

Nope, not stupid. I would have spent an hour thinking about how I could make it shorter, and how I could keep a few things to myself, but it wouldn't really make me feel any better. It's good what you wrote, very honest.

Besides, the only things you really gave away were that you have difficulty sleeping some nights, and that you have panic attacks. Nothing wrong with that! You're definitely no idiot. Don't worry about it - I have thought about this sort of thing before and ended up saying what I wanted to say in one or two sentences, and it doesn't really make me feel any better afterwards.

Like I said, very honest, and there was nothing you wrote that you shouldn't have. You were also brave to write one at all, good job! :]
