Of course, the tree talking was caused by the acid, but the fact that it was from drugs does not make a difference to shrinks. You might be a totally sane person, but the experience was insane. If someone has the same experience once without taking acid, but it never happens again then the experience is still deemed psychotic by pdocs whether you are sane or not. However, if this happens all every day for at least 6 months and you cannot function, then your deemed schizophrenic. If the same guy who took the acid keeps conversing with trees 6 months later then he has drug induced schizophrenia

Still so confused. I would do drugs because I can actually help clean the house. Kinda like a mania because when im clean and sober im just useless. This is why im not sure about the bi polar aspect. Dont people like the mania because of the high energy levels? For me, I never have high energy levels, I mean I def think im manic depressive, but i also have these bouts with paranoia. Maybe im confusing the paranoid feelings with anxiety. But people with anxiety dont write down license plates like ive done in the past. I never hear voices that are not there. Never see anything thats not there even when im in a pychosis. I just always have conversations with myself, where im second guessing myself all the time.I think ive isolated for such a long time that i just dont know how to deal with the outside world. I hate myself, the guilt ive caused my family, these are all major factors and when the stress hits, I start to go downhill. Like last night I was in the chat and asked someone if it was safe to post a pic of yourself on this site. When I woke up this morning I was like, why did I do that, now someone can find out who I am and set me up. Stuff like that and it drives me crazy.
