Brief Answer:
It could be manifestation of stress
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your query and understand your concerns.
Feeling detached from self is called depersonalization and feeling detached from reality is called derealization. Both of these problems are often manifestation of stress specially among women.
Feeling of violent thoughts again could be manifestation of stress.
Although there are other reasons which may result in any of the three mentioned symptoms but stress is one which can cause all the mentioned symptoms.
I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards.
