I'm glad you are reaching out to your providers. In my experience you can have insight, the degree to which you have insight indicates how severe the psychosis is. It can range from mild, moderate, and severe. I would say moderate is when you think its real but you also think it might not be. I've been there before. I was fretting that demons were going to drag me from my sleep into diagonal doorways in my house. I felt that this was real but I wondered if it was just untreated. My view was, if the medication doesn't work than it must be true and I can see the dead and demons are trying to steal me. so... that nagging part of me that thought well lets try it the way that was what got me to stability. Had I tipped over the edge I would't be able to think that way. So I would say if your hearing/seeing things differently and having these thoughts moderate psychosis fits, but I'm no expert.
