Am I Schizophrenic?

Home More advice Health

well I don't trust anyone because of stuff that happened in my past. and if I have problems that really bring me down, I sign on to two different screennames, my own and a fake one, and talk to myself. I pretend I'm someone else giving me advice, and it helps me through it. I realize it's not a real person but I can't get through things if I don't do that. and when I'm alone, I'll talk to myself as if someone's there, and although I know someone isn't there, I basically go into another world and talk to someone else. I have tons of friends... I'm not some weird kid really... but I can't talk to my other friends about the things I talk to myself about. and I'll catch myself just talking to myself in my head.. like asking questions and answering them. also, I feel like I'm never alone. I always feel like a ghost is in my house, or especially in mirrors (it sounds weird... and no, it's not an idea from a horror movie. I've had a fear of mirrors at night when I'm alone for a few years). is this a sign of schizophrenia? or another disorder?
