Schizophrenia ..? (Please help)

...See more Schizophrenia or..? Hello.. I don’t really know where else to turn with this.. I have been experiencing things that make me think I might have schizophrenia i am a severe hypochondriac, so I thought that I was probably just overthinking due to that lately I have been experiencing more rapid hallucinations. I see shadows out of the corner of my eye, things running across the floor, doors opening when the whole time they’ve been closed, stuff moving. i don’t experience much audio, sometimes I’ll hear whispers or my name called but I always thought all of these were normal. i do have voices in my head that say negative things, but I’ve always regarded them is intrusive thoughts due to my bipolar disorder.  I have severe mood issues. One minute I love someone and the next I want to block them on everything and cut them off for no apparent reason. I feel like I need everyone to praise and almost kind of worship me for some reason. I believe everyone I meet is in love with me. I don’t know why, but I can’t differentiate platonic from romantic.  if my friends go a day or two without talking to me, or if I think someone’s giving me a weird look or tone, I automatically assume they hate me and want me to die. I’ve recently started what I assumed was heavy dissociation, but now I am worried it’s something more. I will lock into staring off into space for long periods of time, until I snap out of it, and I will just stare at the wall. It’ll slowly move and morph around me as I stare at it. I sometimes see shapes form in whatever I stare at, nothing super visible, and if I lose focus it disappears. If my friends start moving me around while I’m like this, I’ll stay in the position they moved me without thinking about it, like a plastic doll. i don’t know if this stuff is all normal dissociative bipolar behavior or something else. Any expertise would be super appreciated… Edit: some other stuff that I experience but won’t go super in detail about unless asked: >Out of touch with reality, I sometimes can not tell what is real or if I’m actually alive > severe speech impediment that has been getting worse over time (slurring, messing up vowels, blanking/switching mid sentence) >extremely messy and disorganized  >apathetic/not empathetic or sympathetic  > non weight related eating disorder (binge, fast, binge, fast) > socially awkward, struggle to hold conversations after a certain point  > struggle with daily hygienic tasks or just leaving my bed in general, no matter how badly I want to. No therapy or motivational pep talks have been able to help me. I have tried different methods but after a while I cave in and give up and can never follow anything through. Are these signs of psychosis?
