stressed for no obvious reason..
For the last few months I've been in a very strange mood. I seem to be permanently on edge about things, and it's totally out of character for me.
It started during exams, where I developed this weird thing where every night I would check the time on my phone and it would be 01:23. I wouldn't check it regularly either, often I'd just pick it up after hours of working or whatever and it'd be that time. I thought it was weird and got a bit freaked at why it kept happening. Anyway that has got far less frequent but still happens sometimes...
Now I just seem to be paranoid about things. In particular (this sounds really stupid), I am worried about people close to me dying. Like literally any phone call we get it crosses my mind that it's going to be someone saying somebody has died, and even though I know it's ridiculous I can't seem to stop it.
My sex drive has disappeared, to the point where I've had sex with my boyfriend once in the last 6 weeks. This again is totally not normal for me, and I feel like an awful girlfriend even though my boyfriend tries to tell me it's ok and not to worry about it too much.
And finally, and this is what has made me write this and link all this stuff together, I have been having stress dreams almost every night which wake me up and mean very disturbed sleep. You know the sort of dream, you are going on holiday but have forgotten the tickets, etc. Again this is so odd as I never wake up in the night and rarely have bad dreams.
This just makes me sound quite insane, but what's confusing me is I have no idea what is causing it. I did fine in my exams and have nothing to worry about really. Help

there will be some underlying cause that is stressing you. my advice is to try and find out what it is. it could even b something as small as a stressful atmosphere in your bedroom (untidy, not enough light). so have a look at your life, friends family everything, and see what it is. and most importantly dont stress about the fact that your stressing, like dont stress about sex, dont stress about stress, coz thats jus a vicious cycle. tell urself that there is a cause, you will find it, you will adress it, and all will be cool
