I hate to say this but mental health diagnoses are worthless without a thorough medical examination. You could indeed have schizophrenia but you might also have a brain tumor--or you could have both. I was diagnosed with schizophrenia but was determined to have a brain tumor and multiple hormone deficiencies. It takes years to sort out. Don't resign yourself to a certain diagnosis, at least not until several years have passed.
For what it is worth, you do not talk like a schizophrenic would. I don't think they would use smiley faces. They are very apathetic and flat. They rarely smile.
