Thanks for your query.  You symptoms may be indicative of a stress-related disorder or a depression. If you are finding it difficult to cope or function normally due to these symptoms, then I would suggest that you seek professional help. These psychological changes may be very unreliable indicators of whether you are pregnant or not. So, if you have had unprotected sexual intercourse and have missed your period, then it's better to have a pregnancy test done to check.  Wish you all the best.  - Dr. Jonas Sundarakumar   Consultant Psychiatrist
