This might be the wrong place to ask but I'm not sure where else to ask this anonymously.
When I was younger I had a period of severe anxiety that messed with my life a lot. I had all the normal anxiety symptoms but there were also some really bizarre ones that I have trouble finding anyone say are specifically associated with anxiety disorders. Some of them included:
>sudden compulsions to harm myself (usually didn't act on but I remember once I tried to strangle myself in public and didn't really realize what I was doing until it made me gag)
>extreme anger and violent compulsions towards others (never acted on)
>weird paranoid ideas that people were plotting against me, seeing laughing faces everywhere, I was afraid of going near someone who didn't like me because I literally thought they would kill me. Thought my food was poisoned because it tasted funny a few times.
>once I seriously believed I was in a parallel universe for about week based on evidence that made no sense in retrospect, and took no one else believing me as more evidence of this
Does anxiety just make your brain weird? What did this shit mean? It was years ago but it still weighs on my mind a lot.

I'd get checked by a shrink asap OP, what you described as just "anxiety" sounds more like delusions

Go see a shrink, that's more than just anxiety.

yeah thats definitely not anxiety.
Anxiety is feeling uncomfortable in a variety of normal situations.
Typical symptoms are increased heart rate, shortness of breath, jumpiness.
What you have sounds more like schizophrenia 2bh

Have you heard of Quora? Pretty good site for asking and answering questions, you can ask anonymously too.
