Im the same age as you and have been wondering the same thing. I have a lot of the same symptoms as you and more. Im not in the position to tell you if you have schizophrenia or not, but you do seem to have some of the symptoms. You should get a psychiatrist and get an experts opinion. I have been diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety disorder, but nothing else so far.
Also, I dont think all of those drugs will help much. I had a period where I did drugs to escape all of this and ended up paying for it by being even worse than I was before. I used to take drugs because I wanted to hallucinate and live in a fantasy cartoon world because my life was hell...sadly I didnt get to live in a fantasy world and now I just live in a bad unending dream. For example, in high school I used to smoke a whole joint or blunt of weed by myself and go home and sit in a dark room and wish I lived in a cartoon. I know see static around everything and my vision is messed up, I also hear high pitched ringing noises all the time and it gives me a bad headache.
I dont take any drugs now or alcohol, except I smoke a little weed once or twice a week because if I dont I go crazy and have extreme anxiety or panic attacks, weed is the only thing that can calm me down. Ill take minor psychosis over unending panic attacks and anxiety any day. But yeah, Im not in the position to say if you have schizophrenia or not, but you should get it checked out and ask about it. Tell them what your symptoms are and everything.
