I understand you are afraid of the label schitzophrenic. I am too; I worry constantly that they will slap it on me and i'll never be able to get a job or something irrational like that.
To be honest, psychosis is a scary word too. Until I take it to its meaning of being "out of contact with reality". Then I just laugh because it makes it sound like i'm a character in a sitcom who isn't fully there, mentally. Sorry, that sounded a little strange but I try to deal with these silly things as best I can.
Schitzophrenia can't just be slapped on you though, there are wide diagnostic criteria for such disorders, and what you're experiencing may be something completely different. Maybe have a speak to your doctor and see what he says? Put your mind at rest either way.
