Schizophrenia: Would encourage you to see a psychiatrist or a psychologist to have this assessed. I believe you have had quite a few submissions over the last week on this issue and it is clear that it is very frightening to you. Take care.

Consult: It is better to consult with a Psychologist who can administer psychological evaluation than to try to figure this out yourself.

Anxiety: rather, schizophrenics don't know that they are sick, they have no insight. Still see a counselor for your symptoms if you can't cope, best wishes
