The doctors and therapists are not out to get you or label you; their fundamental purpose is to help you. Letting them know you are paranoid or hear voices is essential to being diagnosed with schizophrenia, a not particularly rare disorder that affects approximately one percent of the population, which is a huge number of people. My opinion is that your fear is warping your perceptions, and that you should try to overcome that fear long enough to let a mental health professional know what is going on. The stigma of mental illness is becoming less with each passing day, and you owe it to yourself and your children to try to provide the best life possible for all of you.
