There have been times when I'm completely out of touch with reality and believe the grandiose thoughts in my head as well as hallucinations. If I understand correctly this would be considered psychosis.

What if you are having some of those symptoms but there's a small part of you that understands it isn't reality. For instance sometimes I think I'm getting messages from God. If I really believe that that's psychosis, right? What if there is this small voice in my head that understands that is not real even if there is a strong feeling that it is. Is this manic?

I'm still so new to this that I'm trying to understand the nuances.
