Could this be a brain tumor?

Hello, I would like to ask if my symptoms could likely be a brain tumor. Also I'm seeing a neurologist soon for what could possibly be Ataxia Neuralgia.
My symptoms
-I suffer from moderate dizziness, every time i sit down or stand up or walk I have to touch a surface so I won't fall down. Although it's not severe and my body just wobbles on it's own I'm still worried. I've had this since I was a small child.
-I have tingling sensations all over my body. I feel small balls of fire on my body.
-I'm always constipated, it's very hard for me excrete and when I do I'm usually in pain.
-Parts of my body, and sometimes my entire leg go numb.
-I suffer from tactile hallucinations and occasional auditory hallucinations and olfactory hallucinations.
-I have strange thinking habits, such as lack of morality in what I think or say yet I am able to refrain from acting it out. Also I can't seem to concentrate nor remember what I've learned for extended periods of time.
-I've had strange sensations inside my head where everything feels like it's shaking side to side. I've also had sensations where I feel something bouncing inside my head which scares me.
-I'm constantly hearing a ringing noise in my ear and it occasionally gets louder.
-I tend to begin shaking uncontrollably from time to time without any trigger.
-I have seizures from time to time. My hand and my leg and sometimes my fingers move on their own.
-I'm also very clumsy, I have a bad grasp.
-From time to time my bladder gets out of control and I have to continuously urinate.
-I feel pressure in my head.
-I extremely fatigue to the point I can't go to regular school nor do my school work.
-I feel apathetic
Also I've previously been diagnosed as bi polar and schizophrenic, which was later removed as a diagnosis. Since a team of doctors, and the head doctor at a mental hospital after multiple hospitalizations observed me and told me that the medicines seem to have no effect on my symptoms. I've also been told by many psychiatrist familiar with my medical treatment that I do not have a psychotic nor psychiatric disorder and that my problem is most likely a neurological problem.
I also feel awful.

Only way to know is to see a doctor and get a proper evaluation there. No way to tell online.
