Hi Lostforwards,
It seems that everyone here agrees that you should contact your doctor. I think you need to be honest with yourself in that you have an illness with psychosis and your thoughts can get delusional sometimes. Thus, if everyone is giving you feedback that your thoughts are irrational, you need to trust that they are probably right. You need to learn to trust others' feedback if you want to find a way to be healthy. I know it's hard. I'm bipolar and I have had to let go of some of my independence and let my husband and family tell me when I start to go 'off'. I've learned that if I have a few designated people to 'trust', it relieves some of the burden of watching myself all of the time and wondering if I'm allright.
