Worried I have told my teachers too much

Just gonna dive right on in here...
I was at collage today when I collapsed when leaving one of my lessons. I had been saying that I was like dizzy all the lesson but just when I went to stand up to leave. I was then asked did I want to go home but I stayed on for the fact that I did not want to miss any lessons. Then just like out of no where I become really nervous and like all panicky... She then calmed me down and asked me if I had eaten anything. Me being me and all I said no, she then took me to the childcare office and was like sit there and eat this which I never did. After this I was kept back again by a different teacher who is like my form teacher, she was saying that she had heard that I was not eating and that I should cause I can be put of the course... But as far as I know there was emails sent to all my teachers informing them of what happened and calling a meeting today to review what they are going to do with me.
But while I was with my form teacher (she knows about my father) She asked how he was doing and I ended up breaking down crying (Stupid I know) and telling her everything, she said that she would email the other staff to inform them of what's going on at home ect.
But if I'm honest this full thing has left me rather scared, I don't even know why I'm feeling scared. I should never have said anything, If I just kept quiet none of this would have happened, it would have been best for everyone if I just kept it to myself.
I'm sorry for the thread... But I just needed to rant somewhere... Sorry

I don't really know how to respond, but I wanted to offer you *hug*'s - And assure you that I'm always here if you need a chat! Things sound rather overwhelming for you at the moment, and the thought of collapsing in college is always horrible, I know the feeling! Why are you not eating at the moment? Or why had you not eaten? Not eating and being in college is NEVER helpful, there?s really no point being on an empty stomach, as you are likely not to give college your full attention, and actually find the learning curve beneficial.
Will you be involved in the meeting amongst your teachers Suzanne? Have you heard back from the teachers about the meeting yet, if it happened yesterday? You are an extraordinary person Suzanne! I'm proud of you for breaking down in to tears and just being able to tell your teacher everything, how did you feel once opening up to your teacher?
If I was in your position, I would be worried about my position at school, amongst lodes of other worries, so I can imagine how scary that might be for you, but you're a strong person Suzanne, maybe it's just about getting some additional support in place for you if needed. Keeping quiet or being talkative wouldn't have changed much, as you still did collapse, it's always best to be honest with teachers, which you have, that's amazing! And you never have to apologize for starting a thread; do keep us updated on how things are going for you!
Best wishes,
Angel
Like Angel says, it’s really impressive that you were able to open up and tell your teachers what’s going on. It sounds like you’re having a lot of trouble at home, and problems with eating too. It’s really important to get support when you’re having a hard time.
It sounds like things aren’t good with your father, but maybe there are other family members you can talk to about how you’re feeling, or friends? Hopefully the college will be able to help you to get some more specialist support, maybe counselling, or maybe just having someone who knows what’s going on for you that you can talk to.
You can always call someone like Childline (for under 19s) or Supportline (any age) if you want to talk through what’s going on for you, it can be really helpful just to know there’s a safe space to get things out whenever you need.
If you’re worried about what might happen at the school, maybe you could ask for a chat with a teacher that you trust about what has happened and what might happen next?
I hope things get better soon, keep in touch here.
