Instead of "in the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit amen", the priest said "why does it sound like you're out of breath"

Also I didn't say "bless me father for I have sinned"

I'm fairly certain that the Creator of the universe doesn't care about the specific phrases, in English, that you say in a wooden box.

He wanted us to eat from the tree of knowledge or it wouldn't have existed.

If the priest gave you absolution then the confession is very likely valid.
