I have trouble accepting this as either a story as someone with schizophrenia or as the history of a real-life occurrence.

It has fewer problems as a story of mental illness. Unfortunately, the person just seems far too happy and normal to be credible as a schizophrenic. Real schizophrenics suffer the agonies of the damned in their heads. There is no pain here. I don't even sense depression.

If this is a story of some real being that is after her, then she would react as someone who is being attacked. That's going to be fight or flight. I see no evidence of either. She (it feels like the protagonist is female) doesn't leave the house to get away from it. She doesn't fight it by spray painting the mirror black and wrapping it up in tarps or having it hauled off to the Salvation Army or even making a decision to smash it with a baseball bat.

If it were real, there would be an internal struggle and a difficult decision. I don't feel like there are any decisions.
