Am I actually schizophrenic or was my drink laced?

I never had a schizophrenic episode in my life until some guy bought me a drink and hours later I started seeing things and could not sleep, I would see scary looking things in walls like demons and in people.. when I would scratch my arm the feeling would be delayed and wouldn't show up until seconds later and when people would talk the words would be delayed with their mouths. The tv would also talk to me and this was literally after I had a drink from some stranger. ( first time it wasn’t even alcohol it was a regular drink ) This “episode“happened for months until my parents realized they couldn’t do anything. I called the police the same night and they tested my blood for drugs and said nothing was found in my system, I was just paranoid. Then, eventually I had to go to the mental hospital because I couldn't sleep for months even when I tried to. This happened in 2018, no schizophrenics in my family or nothing. Now in 2020 back in June the same thing happened some guy bought me a drink , my friend drank out of it as well and nothing happened to her ( I swear I had felt a pill ) and I had another episode and had to go to the mental institution because I wasn't in my right mind, seeing and hearing things again. They said I had psychosis and schizophrenia, do you think they put something in my drink or am I actually schizophrenic because I never experienced this ever, the first time it happened I was 19 and second I was 21 , this only happened after I had been given drinks.

[c=#666666]Please disregard my first reply, I didn't read your story through. Now I did so. Yes, I think you might have a mental health issue. It's nothing to be ashamed of, or scared of. If that is the case, then you might need to take some medication, but it doesn't mean that you can't achieve your goals in life. Things might become a bit more difficult, but trust your nurses and doctors, and I think you will be perfectly fine. ❤️ [/c]

@Sheer thanks and after both episodes I was admitted to the mental institution and I took my medicine and it stopped the hallucinations but to this day I regret even taking the drink the second time it was the worst episode and they say psychosis episodes get worst , my best friend drunk out the same cup the second time nothing happened to her only me but it was just bad, my dog had puppies that I basically bottle fed and helped nurse but when they were at that cute stage I didn’t even get to watch and play with them I wasn’t in my right mind we still have them they’re big now but I just wish I could have spent time with them as cute puppies German shepherds beautiful dogs, my dad told me not to go he had a dream that something bad happened and I went anyways that night, I just always regret this but he always telling me not to go out 💀 it jus so happened his dream came true in a way

[c=#666666]@Bunnyxo If you are in fact experiencing psychotic episodes, I believe alcohol alone can do a lot of harm. If it wasn't an alcoholic drink the second time, the memory might have triggered it, if it's a psychological issue. Don't listen to me though, I don't really know what I am talking about. As I said, I am no expert, but if your writing is any indication, I'd say you might not be in a calm state of mind. You seem to be rambling a bit. It's OK. I think you should just go along with what the docters say.
These could be outstanding episodes I suppose, if you've been feeling stressed lately? They could also indicate something more serious, but either way, I advice you not to panic or get obsessed about it. Try just to enjoy each day, and wait for the diagnosis. There are so many things which can happen to a person.
I am not schizophrenic, nor do I suffer from any other mental illnesses, but I experienced psychotic episodes both when I smoked weed, and again later in life, when I was under a lot of stress when my father died. I have a fragile mind. You might too. Just wait, and I'm sure the doctors will help you find out what's going on with you. 💕🌼[/c]

@Sheer Insanity, psychosis and angel dust???!!
I agree with fable. Meds and goals, meds and goals.
Stop leaving your drinks unattended!! If it's reoccurring get professional help. Nothing to be ashamed of.

[c=#666666]@Rasputia Nothing to be ashamed of, or scared of indeed. I know two members of SW who do in fact suffer from schizophrenia, and they're some of the most lovely people I've met. I know one of these people have a good job, which he is able to attend every day. It will be alright.[/c]

@Sheer sweetie I'm pretty sure we're all nuts. Some of us hide it better than others. What's crazier than being completely normal by society's standards, know what I mean?✌

@Sheer yea ur right but they tested for drugs but nothing was found in my system but my doctor said even though nothing was found in my system, she wasn’t there to see if anything was put in my drink. Maybe it was an undetectable drug? But if that was the case if there was a drug then how come my friend who drank after me was fine? I’m sorry about your father and what you went through, he’s in a better place than we’re in. I just feel like this second episode messed everything up, I feel like i look different unattractive gained weight from the medicine as well, is it possible if there was a drug in my drink that it could have changed my physical features in my face?

@Rasputia well they were bought by people I knew well not as well but for example one of them was my best friends ex boyfriend but then again he tried talking to me and I told her and she broke up with him but they got back together talking around that time and I keep thinking if it was a drug in my drink he did it to get back at me for telling her

[c=#666666]@Bunnyxo Well maybe there wasn't a drug, and it's in your mind. Thank you, I appreciate it. A drug would not change your physical features I believe. My two cents is what might have happened, is that you started taking less care of yourself. I don't think there's any reason to ponder whether or not there was a drug, but instead focus on how you feel, and if it's not good, the psychologist or psychiatrist might have their own ideas why that is, based on both what you've told them, and what behavior they see from you. I think you should just put your mind to rest about this now, and try to focus on something more light-hearted. Answers will come in time. 🤗[/c]

@Sheer thanks 🙏 you’re right I just got depressed and let go of myself always thinking of that situation worst thing that happened in my life, it makes me wonder if that wasn’t suppose to happen even though they say everything happens for a reason because my dad told me God showed him a bad dream and told me not to go and I went anyways out of “ disobedience “ and it was God’s way of chastising me.

[c=#666666]@Bunnyxo You seem like such a sweet person, there's no doubt in my mind that God is watching over you, and that He will be there for you no matter what happens. 💕[/c]
