Extreme depression can sometimes be a part of schizophrenia but it can exist alongside it with people with bipolar or depression with psychotic features or schizoaffective disorder. If you still have extreme depression that causes suicidal ideations and feelings of hopelessness speak to your psychiatrist about it and they could your medications. You can get your life back together but the first step is to feel stable. I know having been through it.

Well those would be "command hallucinations" and I know from the past before my current recovery that whenever you get those to speak to your psychiatrist right away.
