It sounds like anxiety and depression to me, but I am not an expert. Feeling like you are losing your mind is a very common symptom of anxiety.

Anxiety can play horrible tricks on the mind and can have debilitating physical effects also.

I have begun to overcome my anxiety using the following methods:
1. Keep a diary of your thoughts and progress. Make a note of how you feel each day. You will find that most days you actually feel OK.
2. If a particular issue comes up that you are worrying about through your diary extries, try to solve this problem at its source (for me it was cheating on my partner, coming clean made a huge difference).
3. Exercise. It helps, a lot. Exercise is boring, I force myself to do it and feel much better as a result.
4. Cut down on alcohol, caffeine, drugs. These all exacerbate anxiety and depression. They are hard to cut down on, but you will notice improvements if you do this.
5. Spend more time with people you enjoy being with and feel comfortable around.

Take it one step at a time. It will take time to get well. Think of it as your mind telling you to slow down and take a look at your life. Remember you are not going crazy, this was (and is to some extent) a source of anxiety for me. It is hard to overcome...but remember it is not real.

I think you are having some serious panic attacks but not schizophrenia. Listen to what others are telling you. You seem quite determined to be a schizophrenic so why?...why do you refuse to believe what everyone is telling you? Would it be easier for you to be a schizophrenic? I guess you can be whatever you wish to be.
