If this is in response to what I said, I apologise if I came across as offensive. I'm only saying that on what I've researched and people I've spoken to who suffer from/have suffered from psychosis. I've never been psychotic (as far as I'm aware..) myself so that probably speaks volumes, but part of the definition of psychosis is to 'lose contact with reality' so it would seem strange for someone to be psychotic and be 100% able to think that their own behaviour and thoughts are unusual enough to logically quiz about it on a message board and enquire about going to a doctor. That is unless of course we're speaking retrospectively when the person is medicated or recovered.

I am aware some are self-aware enough to try and engage logically with their thoughts, though. Like I pointed out, the OP needs to see a GP anyways..
