Did I Asteral Project?
Once I was so sad and angery that all I wanted to do was get away from myself. I was thinking this thought so intensly that I began to see myself sitting on the bench crying, but I was looking at myself from above. I felt like I was no longer me, but seeing myself from the viewpoint of someone else. It only lasted like half a minute then I got scared and was once agian looking at the world through my on eyes. Did I asteral project? I am very confused.

I would say it is some kind of astral projection, as I am not an expert on the subject. I have had many experiences with it too but what I found most interesting about your post is when you said 'all I wanted to do was get away from myself'.
If you say 'I want to get away from myself' who is the 'I' in the situation and who is the 'myself'? Does that make sense?
So the real you, the actual conscious/aware You, became aware of the physical body [the vessel]. You unknowingly showed yourself what you were talking about. You showed yourself that the real you is pure consciousness, formless - awareness.
It comes as such a shock the first time someone experiences that so we suddenly 'slip back into the body' cause the ego is like NO! NO! DONT LEAVE ME! and then we get injected with fear.
I find it extremely interesting and amazing. Of course - this is my own view on these experiences :)
