It is a negative stereotype that Schizophrenia or similar such disorders make people evil, violent, or suicidal. That is not the case. I'm sure you are a wonderful and loving person and a great mother as well.
There are many medical conditions that make it hard to function normally. I, for example, get migraines. When this happens, it's hard for me to focus on my work and it makes it very hard to enjoy life.
Because of this, I have needed medical help. I now take Imitrex which helps me control my migraines and makes me an overall healthier and happier person. I think it's very likely that you could receive the same kind of help. What you're describing is very common. Ignoring all the negative stereotypes—it's just a medical condition that doctors have gotten very good at helping people with.
I think you would be very relieved to talk to doctor. If you're honest with them and trust their advice then you surely will benefit for doing so.
