Can anyone help me out please? I've got some nasty emails questioning why I've not been at lectures the past week, I need to reply without saying "I was afraid I'd kill myself if I stayed any longer at uni". I'm so **** at writing stuff like this, I don't want to say I'm "ill" because that means owning up to it, my tutor knows I'm not in the best frame of mind mentally but this doesn't seem to have been passed to my lecturers.
