I don't think it's a medication-needing thing. Part of it was simply overload, and part well, the usual female stuff, quite bluntly. Brandeis' psych services are fine for "I just got dumped and I'm upset" or adjusting to college- not for much else, from what I've seen. But I don't think that's what I need. I was just in a lousy mood: it happens often enough, but it isn't persistent. I was kvetching here msotly because I wanted to see if that got it all out, and I wouldn't have to go bug someone.
I never thought of relationships as being stressful, in my sort of idealizing pre-relationship life. I'm glad it isn't just me, although I'm sorry that your love life has been so rough. All's going pretty well now. Thank you.
