Brief Answer:
You appears to be having OCD, Medicines may help.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, welcome to HCM.
It is a wise decision to ask your health related query here.

With the description above you appear to be suffering from OCD. In such an illness a person usually experiences recurrent intrusive absurd thought/images/doubts. The person knows that his/her thought are baseless and he /she tries to resist these thoughts/doubts. But despite resistance it again comes to mind. It is happening with you in the form of recurrent doubts of having'Schizophrenia'. This condition can be treated very well with psychotropic medicines and psychotherapy. Already you have suffered a lot. I advise you to consult a psychiatrist nearby who may start the therapy for early remission.

I wish you a better health and peaceful life.
All the best.
