I am 19 yrs old about to be 20 soon. I have experimented greatley with pychadelic drugs such as LSD, marijuana, and have abused the medication adderall. I have been clean of all drugs for 4 months (last I did LSD was more than 6 months ago). I have always been dis-assocaited with social norms. Even before I started experimenting with the substances I stated, I have always felt as if I was different and truly could never relate to people (LSD in particular just made me explore more into my social alienation). To be honest, the whole reason I got my self involved with these extremely harmful drugs is because I couldnt deal with myself and the world around me. I eventually got out of that phase and realized how the social world worked, but it has been hard ever since.
About 4 months ago I got myself on track and figured out what I wanted to do with myself. Being clear minded and scheduled made me feel normal again. I have begun to acknowledge cetain things about myself such as: I have a pornography addiction, I will not look myself in the mirror due to my acne, I engage in intercourse with random women just to make myself feel good, some days I wake up ready to go and happy, some days the thought of getting out of bed makes me sleep even more, when I see other people happy I get angry inside, I have hostility towards friends because of certain things that make me tic. I am also paranoid, but it's hard to exactly define my paranoia, it's extreme at times but not often.
I know drugs didnt help, but my problems were already present before my usage.
I have always had these qualities; my pornography addiction started in 9th grade and it had just evolved immensly ever since. This is my greatest concern.
I have researched schizphrenia because I have truly thought that I am. I dont hear voices, I dont hallucinate, I dont feel like someone is "watching" me or whatever, but, I do have paranoid characteristcs in which make me questionable.
