She said that she felt scared after my reaction. I have no excuse for my behavior, but it is important to note that I'm under a lot of stress with grad school admissions exams upcoming and we also had been out drinking. What happened two days later is a bit confusing. First she told me that we need to take a break. She said that she loves and wants to be with me but can't right now. (ex. "I love you but I have to look out for myself sometimes") She also told me that I should see someone about my stress and frustration problems, and that after a couple of appointments we could talk.Other than this incident, we have had a great, loving relationship with the occasional fight of course, but nothing that would be a dealbreaker. This, on the other hand, really did hurt her and I am truly sorry. I'd do anything to make it up to her! Can this be fixed? Does she want it to be fixed?

I think you can fix it. Stress can hurt a relationship but if you really want to treat her right, you will find a release somewhere else.
Show her you can change.
