Schizophrenia is a very heavy diagnosis to put on someone. I will be honest with you in that a few of the phrases you mentioned are concerning.

You are missing what I consider to be a cardinal symptom of Schizophrenia, a thought disorder. Your writing is organized and logical. Persons with a thought disorder often have trouble understanding and communicating.

It is possible to have Schizophrenia without a thought disorder, though very rare. Most Psychiatrists even question if it truly is Schizophrenia without a thought disorder.

The good news is that you are are of your reality. You can tell the difference between reality and imagination.

Based on your post I can not rule out the possibility you may have a mild form of Schizophrenia. I think you need to consult with a Psychiatrist for evaluation.

Remember that it is your choice. So many people forget that they are the one that makes the choice. If you do not want to take medication, it's up to you.
