Suddenly having new symptoms?

I've been having sudden intense fears or 'fantasies'...I don't know what they are...
I was up all night last night (insomnia) and suddenly I had the vision in my head of my kitten drowned in the toilet downstairs. I was SO sure this was real and was shaking and crying too scared to go down and check because I was sure it was true, or by walking down the stairs it would become true. I've had premonitions and stuff like that before that turned out to be the truth so I can never tell...
I saw my kitty this morning and she's fine though.

I hate getting that though..it's this sudden intense fear, and I go through all the emotions of actually living that fear or moment...It's like a split in time or fate and my actions or thoughts will make that make thing happen or not happen...Im scared stiff and I feel like my mind may make these things actually come to be.

Also lately if I step on something on the ground by accident-say a pen or a piece of paper-I feel TERRIBLE. It's like the paper or pen is living, it has feelings and I physically hurt it. I stare at it for ages feeling remorse and feeling the pain it feels from me stepping on it or whatever.

These two problems have started only recently-maybe the past month...I haven't talked to a psych about this yet, but I probably will if it keeps on.
I was wondering have any of you experienced these things?
Could it be a part of my schizophrenia or something else?

Interesting! because i have something very similar that started recently. The other day, i was cutting something out of a magazine, and i stopped and wondered if i was commiting murder...like the magazine was alive.

2 years ago, when things got worse...one of my first "delusions" was about trees and objects (like chairs, doors, street signs, statues) having some kind of special life of there own. They looked as if they were alive. I communicated with them through telepathy. They warned me about how horrible the world was, and how aweful it was that they could not move and run away...they had to sit there frozen all day, watching the horrors of society pass by. I felt them enter my body and i could enter their bodies.
I still believe all this, but unfortunatly, the feeling of them being alive is not nearly as strong, and it's become very difficult for me to communicate with them.

Its bizarre isn't it?! I get quite scared, because it's too real. I've written down a bunch of things recently and will be showing a psych...Thanks for your post.

or buying certain books at the store because the books would 'feel bad' if I didn't buy them...

the damned things never really appreciated the gesture, though, so I learned to ignore the compulsion

Hmmm.... never had anything like that but it sounds like the empathy is being emotionally triggered in all these cases.
