K- you are a virgin and therefore not pregnant. Pregnancy is the first thing you'd want to rule out.
Woman with an exceptionally low body fat percentage will not menstruate. It is very common for female athletes or anorexics to not have periods. Keep in mind, your overall weight is different than your body fat percentage. Some women can be underweight at 125lbs and some women can be overweight at 125lbs. It depends on how much muscle you carry versus how much fat you have. Do you have very little body fat? My guess is yes, and that is why you are not having a period.
Stress alone is not enough to suppress menstruation. It can mess it up but not usually suppress it completely.
By the way- just because you do not have a period, it does not mean you are not ovulating. You are likely still ovulating and still able to get pregnant. That's just an FYI.
Not having a period itself is not dangerous- it causes no long term damage in terms of future reproduction. I went an entire year as a teenager without one- when I was heavily into running and weights. My body fat was too low to support menstruation. Today I am the mom of 2 beautiful girls, and I had no problems getting pregnant.
You said you were diagnosed with depression etc. which means you have seen a doctor regarding your mental status. I am glad you are getting help. I wish you the best of luck and I hope you find recovery quickly. Keep your chin up.

Stress definitely causes us to miss...it happens to me a lot. Some people are more sensitive to it than others. The slightest disruption in my life, and I usually skip a month. It sounds like you've been through a lot, so don't be worried. If you've begun any new medications, that could also be a factor. Try not to worry, cause you know you're a virgin, so there's no other reason...you're body's just reacting to the stressful environment its been under. It will realign itself and get back on track...no worries ;)

Sometimes it skips, especially if you just started getting it! I don't think you have anything to worry about. And from reading your description, I would say that it is just from too much stress!
But if this problem is stressing you out even more, then I would see a doctor about it so you will have something less to worry about! :D And remember to smile, no matter what is bothering you! It will definatly help with your stress and depression!

I missed mine for upto 3 months once - went to the doc and they said this is ok. Anything over 3 months and then they may need to look into it. Stress plays a big factor, so just try not to worry and enjoy your period free time.

It is probably stress. Although I always find this to be a weird trick of nature. It stops because we are stressed, which in turn stresses us out more! Try to relax.
A change in physical activity can also mess with your period.

No you should not worry about it. Stress and not eating right can certainly have this effect. Sometimes a person can have this happen for longer.

You said you were stressed so it is not unusual to miss a period or two.

If you've been messing around with your vagina in close quarters to a penis or somehow bodily fluids got transferred through touching, etc. without intercourse taking place, it is possible to become pregnant.

Nehh. it's not 'dangerous' but I think you should relax. Massage yourself at nighttime. It's good. =]
