Thank you for your honesty Plastic, not many people are honest like you.
Voices are just one of the symptoms of psychosis- do you know that you don't even 'have to' hear voices to be diagnosed psychotic? Delusions alone can contribute to a diagnosis of Delusional Disorder or even Schizophrenia, depending on how bizarre the delusions are.
Everybody deserves help, and that certainly includes you. It was not my place to comment on your fiance's behaviour but personally I don't think that 'sort yourself out' is the most sensible thing to say to you. It takes time, sometimes a very long time.
I often think that I am functioning to well to be psychotic and doubt my diagnosis- but at the end of the day a diagnosis doesn't really mean anything. Ill or not, sometimes it is extremely hard to tell. I just hope you can be content with yourself (I know it's easier said than done and sorry for being a hypocrite).
