I suspect I may have had a psychotic episode
Hi all, yesterday I realised I may have had a psychotic episode last year during 8 months. Examples of things I did:
- invested all of my money into a stock I “knew” was going to make me a millionaire, lost it all of course.
- believed my coworkers had a hidden agenda against me because I was working too good. I was a genius in my mind and therefore they wanted to bring me down so that I dont outshine them.
- distanced myself from all of my friends because I am sure they are talking negatively about me behind my back.
- got into conflicts with almost everyone at my last job, burned a lot of bridges and did not handle the hand over to my replacement very well
- had an inflated sense of my abilities
- auditory hallucinations that sounded like distant sirens
- panic attacks frequently
- drinking alcohol every day in periods and doing a lot of coke and weed.
I have switched jobs and been sober for 2 months now. I feel like a new person but I can not believe how I was acting. I contacted my local psychiatrist to see what they have to say about this. What else should I do. Does this sound like psychotic behaviour to you?
