Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Symptoms that you describe suggest a depressive illness. In my opinion, you are not likely to have Schizophrenia. 'Delusion of reference' that you write about may not be delusion but only a self-referentiality due to depression. A delusional person doesn't have insight about his delusion being a delusion.
You should talk to your parents/guardians. You will benefit form a psychiatric consultation. The psychiatrist will evaluate you for Depression, check if there is any medical condition that is causing these symptoms, counsel you about the condition and suggest treatment.
I hope this answers your question.
