Dear Madam
It is not unusual to experience delay in period even for a month. If you are not expecting pregnancy than just wait and watch for few months. You should keep in mind that your negative imagination may actually delay the period. Be clear that non-pregnancy related delay in period may not be harmful to you at least for few expected cycle, though you have to regularise it with medication if at all it happens.
Another thing is that before the next cycle you may feel sad, feel like crying, negative imagination etc. If it happened in the past than same thing is happening again.
Next Steps
Do pregnancy test if you think so.
Consult gynaecologist for regulating cycle, if you don't see in a month.
Regular physical exercise.
Be busy, spend time in leisure activities and hobbies.

You may have an underlying mood disorder. You should consult with a psychiatrist. It may or may not be related to menstruation.

Dear Practo user,
Repetitive worrying thoughts are seen in anxiety. This anxiety is occurring as too many negative thoughts about your health. It’s affecting your sleep as well. Talk to a psychiatrist for evaluation and treatment options.
