What you describe sounds like an episode of psychosis that happened outside of any type of severe mood swing. That's typically what happens in Schizoaffective Disorder.

(we have the smashing our computers in common, did that when I thought the FBI was after me... )
Thank you for the reply, I appreciate it. I am still trying to piece things together. It's been tough because over the years the only person I ever spoke consistently with was my mother, but either she never recognized psychosis when it was happening, or she didn't care. So when I should have been hospitalized, I always just wound up getting hurt instead. Like before I ran away to that state, I sent my mother an email telling her about my mission and detailing my plans. Looking back while stable, I can see that I was clearly not thinking right at all and was off my rocker. My mother basically just told me good luck. I never realized I was psychotic until I was almost dead and it was over.
