Honestly, you could do somethings yourself, but it would not be worth the struggle. It would be so rough--that is why friends are there, and that is why the doctors are there--to help.
If you feel you cannot talk to your friends, how about your family members? Is there someone close you can discuss it with? You are never alone, there is always someone to reach out to, either via email, instant messaging, that kind of thing.
My thoughts too about the doctors--what kind of doctors are they? Could you pick a new doctor, go to a T if you discussed it with your family? Why do you feel you cannot do treatment?
Here are some links on schizoid PD. Read them, and keep posting. I wish for you the best of luck!

Ugh! I'm having practically the same prob, except mine is with schizophrenia. But anyways- about you: is it possible to go to a therapist or a counseler (even a school counselor) without someone finding out? I highly suggest talking to a medical doctor also or a Pysician (i'm not sure how to spell that, sorry) to help. I hope everything is alright! Stay strong!
