I've been in situations like this and I usually play crazy. I can play it very well too.
I usually start with screaming. Loudly. Then I grab my head and start screaming "SHUT UP SHUT UP I DON'T WANNA KILL ANYMORE! I'M NOT GOING BACK TO THE HOSPITAL!" and then fall to the ground in the fetal position still screaming. By that time, anyone with half a brain steps away. Usually apologizing.
I am by no means a confrontational person at all and would rather avoid the majority of society if I can do so. I do not have a license to carry yet, but until then, I have exercised my crazy defense in more than one situation and it has yet to fail.
You'd be surprised how quickly a potentially violent situation will dissolve at the hands of a "psychotic break".
