Hey everyone, i'm a 20 year old college student that plays sports.. I have been dealing with anxiety and just the feeling of "being scared" the majority of my life but never really realized it was a problem. I smoked marijuana regularly until the paranoia became a problem and I had to stop. I began having anxiety attacks around 10 months ago and then began having so called 'delusional behavior.' I thought I had worms, thought I had another stomach disorder. I also had a cut on my leg and swore my lymph nodes were swelling up in my groins due to an infection. A month later started to wonder if I was crazy and began looking on the internet to see if I was a sociopath or a psychopath and would go outside and make sure it wasn't a full moon. One thing recently is that I thought my dad poisoned a gallon of milk in the fridge. And I had accused everyone of treating me like a baby. One other thing is I had this online profile (i'm not gonna say where) but I would change this sometimes up to 10 times a night, because I was trying to "find myself." I would change my personality 2 or 3 times a week just to find myself. This went on for several months until I finally had to delete the profile. These are a few examples. I haven't smoked pot since I started having anxiety attacks. Just this week I realized that I was actually back in reality, and realized that I had been out of reality the entire time. I went to a counselor and she said I had social anxiety, and possibly had a schizophrenic episode. During that 10 months I stuttered severely, never made eye contact, and really never knew what I was saying.
So my question is.
Did I have an episode or just really severe social anxiety.
And if it was a schizophrenic episode, will I get another one?
Please help. Advice is welcomed too.
