When I was younger I had a period of severe anxiety that messed with my life a lot. I had a lot of symptoms typically associated with anxiety, but there was also this shit and I don't know what the fuck it was:
> sudden compulsions to harm myself (usually didn't act on but once I tried to strangle myself in public and didn't realize what I was doing untilI gagged)
>extreme anger/violent compulsions towards others. Never acted on. but it was intense. Wouldn’t realize what was wrong with these feelings until after they’d passed
>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.
>I seriously believed I was in a parallel universe for a week based on evidence that made no sense in retrospect, and took no one else believing me as more evidence of this. I don’t remember ever realizing it was wrong, it just faded out of my mind or something.
I actually asked this earlier but it died with few answers because I fell asleep. Some anons said it was schizophrenia or something like that but that doesn't seem possible to me. This only lasted for about 6 months, and after I entered a much lower stress environment they disappeared pretty quickly. For the past 6 years since then I've been fine. Also, more often than not I did have some awareness that this shit was crazy and was able to hide it well it enough to to get sent to a shrink.I had "normal" anxiety symptoms too. Schizophrenia doesn't work like that, does it?

It sounds like paranoid schizophrenia to me. Honestly, you should ask a shrink, not some fuckers on 4chan. I'm not sure there's much anyone here could do for you. Mental illness is a really tricky subject, and even professionals need to do some guesswork when diagnosing.
Best of luck.

I don't have the money to see a shrink, and even if I did I'm doing pretty okay now. Sometimes people who seem to know about psychology pop up here so I figured it was worth a shot. Thanks anyway dude.

Sounds like demonic possession. Or the pc term "negative being influence"
I'd give that a try for research.
Maybe the gobment is zapping your brain with haarp.

Yes, random assholes on the internet are a good substitute for someone with a PhD.

>implying psychology and psychiatry aren't bullshit pseudosciences bad a degree in it is worth anything
Mental illness doesn't even exist. OP is normal.
