The word that comes after 'cluster' here (hence why I appended '-you-know-what') is a usually-unprintable four-letter word that starts with 'f' and rhymes with 'duck'.

Maybe depression left you too low to do anything about it. Perhaps your anxiety paralysed you and you were unable to take care of things. And even worse, roomates just moved out on you instead of doing the humane and decent thing - trying to get you the help you needed. My mood gets worse when I have my period, so I'm not surprised crisis hit then.
I am almost certain that the 14-day bleeding was a result, not a cause.

I screwed up because my actions destroyed my GPA and were not at all in line with being a respectful, reasonable person to live around / good roommate or floormate.

Acting the way you feel is only healthy insofar as you don't act in a way that is directly contradictory to what you want, but you can't, for example, go railing on someone or screaming your head off just because you're angry at them. That's a mark of a lack of basic maturity and self-control.
