Childhood trauma,Anxiety,Procrastination

I do not know how to describe my situation but I have been anxious a lot lately, getting offended on small things, past incidents are coming to my mind and then I am getting angry about those things. I often notice myself day dreaming imagining a perfect world. I am facing lower confidence levels and procrastinating my priorities a lot, I am worried a lot, overthinking all the time, appears to me that my mind is never at rest. I scroll phone a lot and cannot find motivation to complete my tasks. I feel exhausted. My childhood was not very nice and those incidents still scares me and I am going on defensive mode. I need advice to cope up with my situation.

Religious Obsession + Anxiety

Hey ! It is related to my mother , she is 57 as of now. Diagnosed with Sugar ( type 2) , blood pressure ( anxiety related as suggested by a cardiologist), Vertigo ( sometime ago but now she is doing good with it. Hyperthyroidism ( also diagnosed by the same cardiologist as he is general physician too) For the last 3 years , she has had excessive religious OCD which is now impacting her daily life. She only talks about God and knowing all this she can't stop thinking about which further let her feel restless and anxiety driven by this. She is not on any medication related to this and no prior appointment to any psychiatrist. I am in a dilemma what to do as of now , as it is hard seeing her like this. Further, she washes her more often now, the contamination issue is there, also she talks in a very depressing tone thinking she would never be getting out of this. Suggest

Is my doctor correct?

31. Male. 5'6". 77 kg. Paliperidone. I am suffering from nervous shutdown symptoms since 2015. I also started suffering from symptoms like laughing alone or muttering past conversation I had on social media out loud since 2020. My parents insist me on going to psychiatrist for this. One time I misunderstood prescription and took 10 SOS eitizolam pills as I thought they would cure me out of shutdown but they were for weak hearted feeling that I was having. So after overdose I was hospitalized and during my extended stay at hospital I became aggressive so combined with my shutdown and aggression I was diagnosed with schizophrenia and put on paliperidone 150 mg. But paliperidone is making my symptoms worse. I now have ADHD like symptoms due to high dopamine blockade and hence cannot read( jump t conclusions and skip stuff which I feel is unimportant). Doctors says will take you off paliperidone after I get a job and become functional again. Is doctor correct in keeping me on paliperidone?
