You may not think you have no purpose, but you do. I think we all have a purpose in life even if it is just some mundane thing that we do for loved ones, friends or strangers.
I had a similar experience last year where I thought I was pregnant because I thought I had all the signs of pregnancy. But it just turned out I have a growing ovarian cyst that makes my period act weird and give me odd symptoms and although I was scared a f*ck thinking that I was with baby, when I posed in front of the mirror with my extended little belly (ovarian cyst enlarged my tummy a bit), I thought, Wow...this what I look like pregnant. But after a while, I found out the real problem and I was a bit down. BUT--I realized that I had so much more to offer before becoming a mother. I have school to finish, I have an ailing mother who counts on me, and I'm not ready to give up my growing social life.
You must have friends or aquaintances (I don't have friends, just mates from school) and those people do count on you to be there for them or just to have your company makes them feel good. You do more for others than you know, trust me. You are loved and in the future you will be more ready to start a family than you are right now.
Take care of yourself, deary. =-)

Wait another month and if your period still doesnt come see a doctor. My daughter started her periods at 10 (despite people telling me skinny slight girls never start their periods so young) and it took 4 years for them to regulate themsevles. Weight can sometimes play a part in missed periods. i understand about feeling disappointed but you have your whole life ahead of you and you will look back in years to come and be relieved if you are not pregnant x good luck

Part of you got used to the idea that you 'could' be pregnant, now you've found out otherwise it may feel like you've lost something as such.
Don't worry its perfectly natural to get these feelings. And most importantly you recognise that a baby right now wouldnt be a great idea long term. You have another 30 years to have a baby so concentrate on having fun whilst you're still young!
