Stressed and upset...

I went back to uni in September after having my baby in August. I felt ok about it but as the deadlines of December came I got extremely stressed out, I had 2 essays due, I feel quite confident about one and think I may have failed the other. The thing is while getting all these essays done, I couldn't sleep and would wake up sweating and feeling like I couldn't breathe, my face has erupted in a very bad case of acne (I NEVER get spots), I've been eating waaaayyy to much and feeling like I'm never full, I'm constantly close to tears, achy, tired and just generally feeling crap, the house is a mess because I can't be bothered to tidy.
I thought this was just stress and would go away after my deadlines, I have one more essay which I am half way through finishing and isn't due in untill the 20th September, this isn't causing me much stress as it's pretty simple, but I am still feeling all of the things I listed above. Will this gradually drift off, or should I go see a doctor? I am trying my best to cheer myself up but I'm struggling, I am still waking up in the night and find myself wondering round the house at 5am, though still not sleeping. I just don't know weather this will pass once my last essay is finished, ot if I should talk to someone about how awful I feel?

Sounds like you have taken a lot on! Baby in August and back to uni only a month later! Don't be hard on yourself - do you have family / partner who can help with tidying the house and making some healthy meals? Might be worth having a chat with the doctor, even if they don't feel it's right to give you AD's, having a chat with someone sympathetic might help. Or is your health visitor nice?
