Taking combined pill but bleeding,any advice?

I have been taking the oral combined pill Gederal for about 18 months .Recently i have been very stressed due to the breakdown of my relationship. So for the last 3 months have been taking the next pack of pills straight away as i couldnt cope with a period as well as everything else. The last 10 days though i have been bleeding(like flow of period)
Could it be because i have lost a fair bit of weight due to the stress and at the moment can only stomach 1 meal per day? Could it be preventing me absorbing the pill?
Any advice gratefully received.

Hi oh thankyou
I am up to date with my smear and am def not pregnant.
Any idea how long i will bleed for? I didn't think breakthrough bleeds were as heavy as a period?
