Being in university, I am really stressed, but this isn't normal as my period usually is regular (although, for the past few months it has been acting quite odd i.e. coming early, coming late). However, the this long, extended, -unwanted- period is very light, and I feel fine otherwise. I am also not sexually active.
I realize I should see a doctor, which I will, but I just want to know what could it possibly be?

It sounds like your hormones are out of whack.
Your doctor will probably give you a few hormone pills to help the bleeding stop.
Sometimes the birth control pill can keep your periods normal and light. You don't have to be ashamed to use them. Just because you take the pill doesn't mean you have to have sex.
My 19 year old daughter has to take them because she was doing what you describe.
Go get some help, you'll feel much better and will be able to stop bleeding.
Good luck!

It is probably just stress, but you still need to go see a doctor.
When I was in junior high I bleed very heavily for three weeks straight and went to the doctor and found out I had ovarian cysts on both of my ovaries causing the excessive bleeding.
When it comes to something like this it is hard to guess the cause of it. It's always safest to go to the doctor.

it could be alot of things. Stress is probably the most obvious cause. You should definately see a doctor though. You could possibly have Polucyctic Ovarian Syndrom (PCOS) or a number of other dianoses. Make sure when you go to the doctor you specify all the symptoms your having. Extreme stress, lathargic, trouble sleeping. Untill you go to a doctor however its only guess work.

Well, you said you are really stressed, so this could probally be why your period is lasting so long. I had mine for 3 weeks before. This is probally what is happening. If it doesn't stop soon, then you should reach your doctor. goodluck.

Don't worry. This happened to me.
It is really annoying, and i bet you know how it feels, but if this goes for another week, see a doctor.
