I've had psychosis used to describe me in the recent past. It doesn't just mean hallucinations or delusions, though those are the most popular ways to use the word.

Both my pdoc and psyd say that I’m having tactile hallucinations and it’s psychosis. -eye roll-
Maybe that’s why he wouldn’t understand what I was trying to tell him about feeling numb __________________ Bipolar 1 w/psychotic features or schizoaffective bipolar type PTSD generalized anxiety OCD celexa, prazosin, Lybalvi and prn zyprexa and klonopin |

Hallucinations are part of psychosis. So are delusions. I'm not sure what your definition of psychosis is.

I just don’t like being told I’m “psychotic.”
I have no odd ideas or thoughts. Just feeling bugs crawl on me.. __________________ Bipolar 1 w/psychotic features or schizoaffective bipolar type PTSD generalized anxiety OCD celexa, prazosin, Lybalvi and prn zyprexa and klonopin |

That's a tactile hallucination and hallucinations are part of psychosis so it is appropriate to say that you are "psychotic". I know there are bad inferences having to do with that word though and that's probably what you don't like.

Yes I hate the word. I told my psyd I did and he said sorry but that’s what it is.

Try to think of that word more medically rather than in the vernacular and maybe it won't be as upsetting. It's really no different than any other MD jargon (for us, when we're talking with our treatment team).

I hate it too bc usually when I’m “psychotic” I end up
Ip scared of satan and demons and usually suicidal. My mood is ok at Best But I’m nowhere near that situation. I’m just stressed numb and feeling creepy crawly bugs on me. __________________ Bipolar 1 w/psychotic features or schizoaffective bipolar type PTSD generalized anxiety OCD celexa, prazosin, Lybalvi and prn zyprexa and klonopin |

I can be psychotic without mood issues. I'm sorry you're numb.

Depending on who I talk to some people say your not necessarily psychotic unless you’re out of touch with reality....that hallucinations aren’t enough to define psychosis maybe you need a doctor who is more like that?

I have some symptoms that come and go even on medication. My pdocs goal is to make it so I'm safe while having symptoms.
