Is it common to have hallucinations that you are aware are hallucinations at the time it is happening? This isn't considered to be psychosis is it? As I haven't necessarily lost touch with reality but it's more of an alteration in perception?

What do your hallucinations tell you? Mine likes to call me stupid. Maybe if I didn't think I was stupid the voice wouldn't tell me I am. I do hear this voice outside of my head like I heard it with my own ears. In an empty room.
