Having major problems lately - what is it and how can I stop
I don't post here very often any more but for the past year or more I've started talking to myself in public, sometimes blurting out inappropriate words like "n****r," "rape," "murder" etc. on an involuntary basis. Now you can imagine that doing things like this would be very harmful and I'm constantly afraid that somebody heard me and I'm going to get in trouble. This is a major concern of mine.
I also keep imagining that I hear people talking about me or about past mistakes of mine but sometimes when I look either nobody's around or they're talking about somebody else. Sometimes I really am hearing people talking though, I'm just not sure if they've said my name.
I'm a student. I have to be in school every day. I am thinking maybe I should drop out and retreat from society so these kinds of problems will not be such an issue. I am going insane worrying about whether or not I just said something bad, because I can't tell. I am afraid of causing myself and other people a lot of problems.
Has anyone had experiences like this? I'm worried.

This sounds like anxiety-induced psychosis.
I find my self highly impulsive under psychosis and have uncontrollable thoughts of sex, murder, suicide, etc.
Please see a doctor

I don't know what your pysch history is, but you should see a psychiatrist. I am not diagnosing you, nor do I have first hand experience, but you are describing psychosis problems, and my understanding is that that can get out of control rather quickly.
So, please see a psychiatrist.
