I am really getting scared. Logically I tell myself there is nothing to fear but that's probably a lie and I'm not sure and I keep obsessing over it. They're been calling for probably three days now and I spent all of my classes thinking about it today.
I've asked some friends if it could be their numbers or something and they have said no and I've locked my door and checked my windows and searched everywhere for who knows what but I can't stop panic from creeping over me. I don't know what I will do if they call again or even if they don't. Just freaking out and I have an exam tomorrow and another one the day after.

Ares, I'm not sure if you are in the US or not, but if you are, a good first step could be signing up for the
National Do Not Call Registry. This registry adds you to a list that telemarketers must respect unless they are exempted explicitly. This will not help in the short-term, but after 31 days most telemarketers who would be calling you should stop. This should help you figure out if the blocked number that is calling is simply a telemarketer.
It's also possible that anyone from bill collectors to insurance representatives could be calling you without leaving voicemail. Many companies disallow voicemail messages if information regarding the call is of a personal nature.
Best regards!
