Psychosis is considered by mainstream psychiatry to be a symptom of severe mental illness, but is not a diagnosis in itself. Although it is not exclusively linked to any particular psychological or physical state, it is particularly associated with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder (manic depression) and severe clinical depression. There are also detectable physical pathologies that can induce a psychotic state, including brain injury or other neurological disorder, drug intoxication and withdrawal (especially alcohol, barbiturates, and sometimes benzodiazepines), lupus, electrolyte disorder in the elderly (such as urinary tract infections) and pain syndromes.

If you had it, you wouldn't know to ask. However, since you asked, you obviously have something going on even if it is just being overstressed and needing a vacation. I'd see a pro in any case for assistance. May family doctors can offer some help and opinons.

You loose touch with reality. You become delusional and may hallucinate with one or all senses. Speech becomes rambled and choppy. Most people that suffer from it don't realize they have it because again they loose touch with reality.

If you have lost contact with reality you have it. But, YOU don't have it because you were smart enough to ask this question.

You need to see a psychatrist or psychologist.
