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, so I thought I'd ask here and see if any of the other mentally stunted freaks here could relate.
> 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.
It went on for almost a year and just disappeared soon after I got out of school that year. What did this shit even mean?
Sounds like schizophrenia. I dunno, I wonder if you can have an episode of schizophrenia and not develop a chronic condition, because I had an episode similar to this that lasted a few months and it's never come back. Never had violent feelings, but I got very worried about people following or talking about me and I had the overwhelming but unsupportable conviction that I was on the verge of having some world-changing idea.

Can related to the first partially only, sometimes I punch walls, other times it is me biting my lips and scratching my face looking for acne, resulting in burns.
I also believe we live in a simulation but I don't think much about it, the 2nd and 3rd only manifests in days i have social interactions, cringing myself whenever i spotted something "wrong" with my acts, which lasts for several days.
How old are you?
Schizophrenia can develop later in life and stay somewhat dormant when your youger. Have u ever smoked weed or drank?

I'm 21. Was 15/16 when it happened. Never done either (I've tried alcohol but it tastes like shit so I've never even been drunk)

Yeah I wonder this too, but I can never find anything that matches me searching online and I don't want to waste money to see a shrink about something that's not even a problem anymore.

So drugs or alcohol can and usually does trigger schizophrenia and bring it out of dormancy. Since youve never done either, it could potentially put you into a schizophrenic state. Talk to a professional and avoid that stuff until you know

I won't do drugs then, I guess.
