Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

These experiences are suggestive of hallucination. Yes, it is a part of psychosis. At present you are having insight and you realize these are some odd experiences; without treatment you will start believing that they are real. These symptoms may worsen over with time. You need treatment for it. Anti psychotics are used for psychosis. Do not delay your treatment.

Best wishes.
