Sunny - you shouldn't feel bad. My T always tells me it's her job to take care of me not the other way around. I think all good Ts also know that they can't bring their "stuff" into a session. Your T probably took a few days off because he knew that he wasn't functioning very well and thus wouldn't be able to take care of anyone. What he did was the professionally responsible thing to do.
My T also tells me on occasion that I don't need to be the "perfect" patient. When you think about it, they have to take us as we are, and part of the therapy is really to let us know that all the annoying stuff we do doesn't define us. So don't worry about emailing him; you obviously have a need to and once you have all that figured out, you'll find yourself needing that communication less.
