You also said that you had suffered from Mono. An illness can affect your mood a great deal. Even though you're over the symptoms of Mono it's likely that your body is still trying to heal. I suffered from some major depression even to the point of considerin suicide when I was in college the first semester. Part of it was all the stresses and changes and the negative relationship I had with a new boyfriend. What gave me a leg up on getting over it was just simply visiting my regular Dr. He checked my Thyroid and Iron levels. He discovered that I was anemic (almost to the point of needing to be hospitalized for it) and he put me on suppliments. He gave me iodine and Iron suppliments and told me to eat better. Since I was in college I hadn't been eating as much meat or dark green vegetables. I also hadn't been getting enough sleep.
Try working on your health and maybe take a daily multivitamin. My Dr prescribes that for me as I'm chronically anemic since. Make sure you are eating right. Get some exercise, and make sure you get around 7-8 hours of sleep a night. Try not to go much over that or much under. You may find that your mood stabilizes at least somewhat if your body is strong, fed, and rested. Then do something good for yourself - you deserve it - you've gone through a lot and you need time for yourself to do what you REALLY enjoy.
Good Luck.
