I don't know we'll see what the doctor says next week

Yikes. I never, never want to hear any mental health professional tell a patient that they "exaggerate." Furthermore, I do not agree that just because you have a degree of awareness about certain thoughts or beliefs being questionable that it means you're not experiencing psychosis. Many people, myself included, have insight into psychotic thoughts, but cannot let them go for fear that they are real on some level.
