Another completely different theory--take it or leave it....
When I went to treatment for alcoholism, I went to a "biorecovery" program that stressed the physical connection...and triggers-of alcoholism. Their theory would be that the paint fumes may have triggered intense cravings for alcohol--you became inebriated with the fumes, which led to cravings (possibly to distraction?) They would claim that your alcoholism is based on an extreme sensitivity to the chemical, so anything with alcohol (ethanol, etc.) would affect you; and lead to relapse. The director of the program talked about the % of painters in her program who just "have" to stop at the bar on the way home after work.....Though your symptoms seem quite drastic and perhaps can't be explained by this, I thought I'd mention this possibility--that maybe see it as an unintended substance abuse relapse, which further caused imbalance in chemistry, and the cycle is on.....
