I can call the crisis line if anything, Monday I see my therapist. I can't take antipsychotics without getting severe movement disorders.

If you haven't left your apartment purely because of fear, it could be delusional. It doesn't have to be, but it could be. There's no requirement that what you believe is totally unfounded, just somewhat unfounded: you assuming or concluding just a bit too much, but with possibly severe consequences.

I would suggest talking to someone (preferably a psychiatrist or NP) about it other than your SO. Love and admiration or trust in someone, can make people vulnerable to share a delusion, even if they wouldn't have one spontaneously themselves.
