Well, first of all, you definetly do not suffer from OCD based on what you have said so far, and you do not seem schizophrenic at all either, you do seem to have a few psychotic symptoms at times, maybe they are part of some psychotic disorder(other than schizophrenia). You may not have anything at all, though. Most people experience psychotic symptoms from time to time without suffering from any mental illness. And to toad, i think you've got the wrong idea.. it doesn't matter what you have done, nothing you have done can cause a MENTAL ILLNESS, sure it can make you feel guilt and/or remorse, but guilt and remorse are not the equivalent of a mental illness, mental illness is a very serious thing not comparable to unpleasant emotions such as guilt and remorse. No behavior other than placing yourself in stressful situations over and over again and/or doing drugs can "bring on" a mental illness, mental illness is biological, not psychological.
