You did the right thing by getting a second opinion regardless of whether the first person you saw was legitimate because it was the wise decision in the sense that its important to be comfortable with a diagnosis and the person helping you.

Do your best to be strong and don't let the fear and frustration get the better of you, you can do this.

Whatever might be up, whether it is schizophrenia or something else, it is treatable.

It can take time working with a psychiatrist to figure out what works best to help you be the best version of yourself, but a solution does exist for you so don't give up.

For a lot of treatments for this, it can take time being on treatment for a while before you notice a difference (some times a few weeks of being on treatment). If you still aren't noticing a difference after a few weeks, just continue to keep your psychiatrist up to date on how youre feeling, and if the treatment does not seem to be working, they will alter it to try something else to see if it works for you.

I can definitely see how this can be frustrating, I myself experienced a long period of anxiety problems where I probably went through 10 different treatments before I found something that worked for me, but in the end it was worth the fight.

I wish you the best of luck, always remember that you can do this and that you are a strong person.
