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.

Over thinking issue

I started having this problem in 2021 after the death of my grandfather. After a while, I started feeling like I was getting sick.Even while sitting in class, I used to think the whole day felt unwell and  dizzy, although till date I had never fallen due to dizziness.I got very nervous and would keep thinking  something  throughout the day.Then I thought I was very sick and wouldn't survive long.After that I went to the hospital and was diagnosed with hypothyroidism.This problem of mine got better for some time but the overthinking never reduced.I recently had gallbladder removal surgery.A few days later, a girl in my class died.She  died due to jaundice and hepatitis.After that I started overthinking more and thought I too had been diagnosed with fatty liver and that I might end up like her .I felt these things for at least 5 to 6 days.Since then, whatever  symptoms I have had, I feel that my health is not good Whatever happens, my anxiety increases.

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?
