Multiple symptoms Help please

For about a week and a half I've been having alot of trouble with my body.

About 12 days ago I had a moment in class where it seemed like my brain restarded or i had passed out, I remember exactly what happened and everything but for like a minute I didn't remember what happened, it felt just like I had come out of sleep in the middle of being awake. I felt a little odd after that and then about 2 days after that I had pretty bad cold symptoms, such as stuffy nose, i felt very weak, i felt full body aches and things to that nature, the next day I felt ok but then all of a sudden at about 6 I started seeing dots as if I was going to pass out and I got a funny feeling in my stomach. After that I i felt very light headed and just like I was on the verge of passing out or losing consciousness (although I never did). Once that stopped I started to feel somewhat normal again but i noticed that when I closed my eyes they burned like my eyelids were hot or something. The next day I found that I had a light headache and that I was off balance, I have been having alot of trouble coping with temperature change, and once I get hot i stay hot for a very long time and its hard to cool off. every since about 5 days ago, I have been just feeling very weak and tired and worn out. once a day maybe I have an episode where I feel very weak and I get kind of nervous and light headed. I do have anxiety problems but when these episodes come around I usually manage to keep myself calm and collected so its not anxiety related. about a day ago I started feeling like it was hard to eat and I feel very weak and tired and my head hurts, when I try to sit down and eat it feels like I want to vomit so i can't eat food in large quantities.
I had my blood sugar runa nd they said it was normal and my blood pressure and pulse were good.

I have had some problems with sleep paralysis about 5 years ago because I was doing alot of neurotoxic inhalents but i've stopped. I have been a heavy drinker for teh past three months, I'd say about 24oz of 80proof a day everyday for about 60 days straight. Other than that I don't know whats going on and I have absolutely no money to see a doctor unless i'm dying but that doesn't seem too far away =(

On Sept. 11, you said you've stopped drinking since four weeks ago.  This is what you posted six days ago today:
" I have been a heavy drinker for teh past three months, I'd say about 24oz of 80proof a day everyday for about 60 days straight."

Is there a county hospital you can go to?  The ER of any hospital is required to take you, regardless of ability to pay.  You need to go in and get checked out and helped.  I don't know if it is the alcohol that caused your current symptoms or not, but you shouldn't just stay home and do nothing tangible to try to help yourself off the track you find yourself on. I feel you are crying for help by making yourself so vulnerable as to risk posting about the drinking on a public forum.  I hope you go to the ER or county hospital as soon as possible!  

And you need to get help with the underlying problems causing you to turn to addicting things that help numb the pain you are feeling, but aren't the real solution.  If you want to know about the Great Physician Who is able to help you with those underlying issues, PM me .

I've since 4 weeks ago stopped all alcohol and drug consumption but to no avail. I feel very foggy headed almost liek I'm drunk or just like everything that goes in doesn't register but it does. I'm getting kind of scared that this might be skitzophrenia or something of that sort.
I really don't know the exact symptoms of it but I'm not having any hallucinations or anything like that I am however carrying a more aggressive attitude. Someone said something to me the other day and I really went off almost to point that I wanted to fight and every time something happens I don't usually get that suppressive mechanism that keeps me from doing things like that. It may be stress but i'm really not getting any better, psychically I feel a little better but still my mental status is out of whack. I don't really think I"m having trouble with math or any neurointensive tasks, i can add and do math just as well as I was able before but i just have these times where my entire perception of everything changes, like my vision gets distorted, like lights get brighter and darks look darker and sounds even change, its like I feel like I'm mentally not even there.

I really don't know, but this is starting to get scary.

While you don't want to discount some other cause, may I offer a suggestion?

Please get serious assistance and 24 hour accountability help in stopping the underaged drinking including addressing the underlying cause of why you have been drinking so much.

Please see side effects from drinking on this website:
http://www.superhomeremedies.com/3-effects-of-alcohol-on-the-body.html
(here's an exerpt):
"Alcohol has a biphasic effect on the body, which is to say that its effects change over time. Initially, alcohol generally produces feelings of relaxation and cheerfulness, but further consumption can lead to blurred vision and coordination problems. Cell membranes are highly permeable to alcohol, so once alcohol is in the bloodstream it can diffuse into nearly every tissue of the body.  After excessive drinking, unconsciousness can occur and extreme levels of consumption (when the concentration of alcohol in the bloodstream is over 0.5 %) can lead to alcohol poisoning and death. Death can also be caused by asphyxiation if vomit, a frequent result of overconsumption, blocks the trachea and the individual is too inebriated to respond."
