@Angel, from the perspective of someone who has had voice lessons and does! sing in Italian on occasion,it actually sounds like your teacher is doing her job properly.
It sounds to me as if she's recognised you have some possibility to develop your voice and your singing, so she is pushing you, just the same way a sports coach might push someone who showed a promising talent with a certain sport.
Singing is very physically demanding, it will! make you ache, and likely cause your voice to feel tired until your muscles get used to the correct breathing etc, however it will be worth it in the end, just think of it like exercise training because that is effectively what it is.
As for singing in Italian, there are certain vocal reasons why Italian is a good language to sing in. The long vowels give you practice opening your mouth, while the cons tenants are soft and give you practice forming them. My singing teacher was very fond of giving me Vokais, these are short peaces in Italian intended to expand the voice range and actually make great warmups.
Of course, not all singing teachers are equal, but I'd suggest if your serious about music you give this teacher a chance and give what she's asking you to try a chance too, since if you can develop your voice it will be good for many things from public speaking, to health, as well as being a great aide to any performances you want to do.
For me, today hasn't been good either, since this morning we went to a funeral of a dear friend of my parents, a very nice Vicar who I had a great respect for.
Oddly his funeral was quite hilarious, everyone telling stories about him and feeling strangely upbeat, then again he was quite a character. he even chose the hymns to be less than dolful.
It was and is extremely sad to miss him, but it was sort of nice to remember him too.
I've also been playing lots of Land of Livia, and we're staying at my parents tonight which means other games have had to take a back seat but I hope to get back to things tomorrow.
