Thank you for all the replies, it's been very helpful.

Age is no problem, I am fully of age to make my own descisions and I don't live at home with my parents so there's no problem there.

The reason psychosis didn't seem so obvious was that I haven't been totally honest with my psychologist.

I was referred to a psychologist by my the student counselor at my old school, because he had been getting reports from my teachers that I was acting "wierd". At that time I was under age and living with my parents, and I had actually been refered to a psychologist twice before at other schools, but always managed to get out of having to tell my parents. I had an interview with a school psychologist who recomended a psych and she hinted that I might have a psychosis. It freaked me out but I went to the psychologist for about a year, but never really had the guts to tell just how real the thoughts I was having were. Then she went on maternity leave and I stopped going.

I just pulled myself together to go back there, and I actually got a really good psychologist, and he's very easy to talk to. And so last time I decided to tell him straight out.

(I don't have a drug problem)

Up until now I've been paying for psychologists myself because I've been afraid of going to the doctor because I've been unsure of what they will do to me (in my country we all have insurance). My psychologist has told me that they'll send me to a psychiatrist for assesment and probably give me some meds (assesment is free, but meds cost a little). Right now I have money to keep seeing a psychologist.

I do well academically (I study math), and basically that's the only area of my life where I do well. I'm scared that taking meds will take that away from me, because the reason I'm good is my imagination.

I do have good days, where I can actually function around other people but they seem to be getting further apart. I'm scared of losing complete touch with reality but I don't want to lose the only thing in my life that actually works either.

Are you sure the assesment will only be questions, there won't be any scannings or other medical tests?
