I'm really sorry to hear this, pal.
However, realizing you might be schizophrenic is actually good because you could get help and treat that illness at an early stage.

My mother suffers from schizophrenia and there's nothing my dad and I can do to help her at this point. You can't imagine what a monster she can be. I really hate this disease.

Hope you can get better somehow, OP.

To be honest it sounds more like maladaptive daydreaming schizophrenia.

Schizophrenia may result in some combination of hallucinations, delusions, and extremely disordered thinking and behavior that impairs daily functioning, and can be disabling.

idk if its that specifically but as someone thats had nothing chase them down halls and their own blood dripping on walls (without doing anything) i can say you do not have schizophrenia

sorry not you. i was just saying that i dont know if its a more mild form of (which i really think its not, paranoia is its own thing for the most part however if bad enough can lead to schizo, making everything out worse then it is, is its own thing, nothing to do with schizo and having imaginary friends is normal (i had like hundreds, didnt count they were tribes in the woods i hung out with plus some others things here and there i awould also imagine entire lands) and 'daydreaming'? schizo isnt even close i wish i could call it a "daydream") i have all of these problems as well as hallucinations, not the same thing is all im saying.
Idk im just retarded then, crazy idk what to call myself anymore
well to start i wouldnt go to the worst possibly and i would also take the others adice and go see a doctor. while not schizo that doesnt mean you shouldnt see someone

Daydreaming is a privileged pleasure. Do you really want to medicate away your imagination?
If its maladaptive daydreaming it can well and truly ruin your life.
It can lower the quality of your work, cause your relationships to deteriorate and cause you to become a total shut in.
It can also make real life seen so boring and dull in comparison.
A little day dreaming is great. A lot is truly unhealthy.
Unfortunately there is no known treatment for maladaptive daydreaming, therapy is the only way forward with regards to that.

It almost ruined me until I learned to enter "work mode" to be able to work at maximum capacity. I have all the other "problems" you list and have let the daydreaming consume all other areas of my life, but I find it completely acceptable. So "ruin" is a matter of priorities here.
