Being stressed and worried over the situation certainly doesn't help your body. Your body responds physically to the mental stressors, and that includes delaying (or even stopping) your period sometimes. The sooner you allow yourself to calm down, the better off you'll be. You -can- literally worry yourself sick. 
  
To put your mind at ease, go ahead and get a couple of store bought pregnancy tests. Try more than one brand name because they all work a little bit differently and follow the directions EXACTLY for relatively accurate results. If you get one that's a positive, head to the doctor and get a blood pregnancy test to be absolutely sure. 
  
As I said, try not to stress because that can mess up your hormones even more and screw with the accuracy of the pregnancy test as well as screwing with your period. Try not to think about it too much until you get a positive read on a test. THEN you can worry just a little.

I take it you haven't been using any form of birth control? Have you missed your period, or is it not due yet?  
I agree with Emily, take a pregancy test. However, be aware of false negatives. I would suggest retaking it if you miss your period, if it came up with negative.

To the above poster, it said that her period is now 22 days late.  
It's safe to say that you could be pregnant.  
Any time you have sex, there is always a chance.  
Take a pregnancy test; nobody here can tell you if you are or aren't; we aren't doctors.

Sorry. **Blush** Somehow I missed that.   
Yes, definitely take a pregnancy test, that's the only way you'll know for sure, and you need to find out early to keep your options open.

I agree with what everyone else has said. Please go buy a HPT (home pregnancy test). 22 days late indicates that pregnancy could be VERY possible. Good luck to you and we are all here for support
