Umm that is debatable I think, whether or not you would know if you're having delusions..

I often think horrible thoughts about my loved ones being murdered or tortured. I don't want to think about those things.

Sometimes I start thinking what if I go crazy and I murder my family? It really scares me. I'm not sure why I think those things. I'm also not sure how I can talk about them on this forum so nonchalantly

I don't think the government is going to get you though

No. Schizophrenics generally don't know they're delusional. Beyond that, however, you need to seek reassurance from yourself since that too is a compulsion. Like you said, you already know it isn't true, so you listen to that voice and you just keep plowing on! Good luck. I know it's hard.
