Hi Matt,
I do exactly the same. I have "images" in my head that I display as "myself", rather than being the real me. It is a psychotic symptom yeh. Well I dunno, I guess it is coz AP's take it away for me.
If I were you I would go along to the hopsital. It's no big deal. It can actually be rather relaxing. You get lots of attention and help. They can start you on a good antipsychotic, if you need one.
I wouldn't worry too much. Although it does sound like you have some "psychotic symptoms", in my opinion (and this is only my opinion), you don't seem actually *psychotic*. This is because you are so aware of what's happening to you. The fact that you believe you are psychotic maybe means that you're not 100% psychotic. Every time I've been psychotic I have not believed it, and have often gotten violent towards people who suggested it. So I don't think you need to worry that you are going "insane". It can be very scary but you will come through this, it will be fine.
I would go along to the hospital! It's not as bad as you'd imagine!
Good luck.
