I think there's a possibility I am Schizophrenic..?

Many people have symptoms but there's no way for sure to know if you have schizophrenia except through a professional. You can go to your doctor so that you can be referred to see a psychologist and then they can diagnose you. Usually, they will ask you questions such as what you see, what you experience, and maybe you could just have other disorders that isn't schizophrenia, maybe it's just side effects from a medicine you take, who knows. It's not the best idea to go straight to a psychiatrist because they get paid to prescribe medicine and that'll all they'll do to you without being properly diagnosed. There is no cure for schizophrenia, the medicines only control your behavior and the delusions, hallucinations, etc so that you can live your everyday life. I think it's better to go to therapy than take medicine because if it doesn't work or you have bad sign effects they'll just prescribe you with ANOTHER medicine for the first medicine and you'll end up being a zombie. Ask your doctor for options (I recommend a psychologist though, because they work with the mind and doctors are different). I hope this helps.
