So I was totally coherent when I was sick so I continued working through the duration it. its just that eventually people caught onto my deluded beliefs like the fact that I thought I had a heart attack and went to the hospital and called all my friends. But I could type, converse etc in fact I was fine with pdoc for like twenty minutes until my friend asked specifically about one of my delusions then it all broke apart and I told the pdoc about the voices. So my point is you can be competent and psychotic simultaneously. It's called high functioning...consider yourself lucky relatively speaking but get help the longer it lasts untreated the lower you chance of recovery.
