PrincessCoffee,
It sounds like you have a lot of things going on in your life...I'm sorry you are so stressed right now, and please let us know how we can help provide information or just a friendly ear.
How long has it been since your last period? Rarely do the calendar days help, as women's cycles can range from 21-35 days between periods, and with some months lasting 30 days, others 31 days...the exact "calendar day" will begin to shift with time.
If your period is late, it can be due to a pregnancy, stress, recent illness, medication, or "unknown" factors. The only way to know if you are pregnant is to take a home pregnancy test (about $12-$15) once you have missed your period. If you are money-conscious, you may want to wait a week and see if your period begins; then take a test.
Your choices in colon cleansing, diet and diet pills is very concerning...and many of these supplements contain ingredients that can increase your stress and anxiety levels, and side effects can include irritability, sadness, stress/anxiety, etc. Are you working with a doctor to lose weight, and most importantly, have you spoken with a doctor or pharmacist about the possible harmful drug interactions that these may have when combined/taken together?
Let us know how we can help, whether it is with healthy weight loss, colon "issues", stay-at-home-mom dilemmas (I am one too!), partner frustrations...and just daily life overtaking us. We have all "been there", or, are currently experiencing the same frustrations as you are, and can either listen or offer some information, support or reassurance.
