No, you're not in a true state of psychosis, because, well, you had the clarity of mind to post here. =) However, it does sound like you're having a lot of intrusive thought issues (i.e. you mentioned that when you go out you can't stop thinking about 'what used to be here hundreds of years ago,' which is a sort of benign thought, but for you it obviously is unpleasant and uncontrollable) - atypical-antipsychotics can help with that. People who are psychotic take atypical-antipsychotics too, sure, but many people who aren't psychotic take them too and much lower doses than the already "psychosed."
So in other words talking to your pdoc about being placed on a atypical-antipsychotic to control these pervasive/intrusive thoughts might be helpful. A small dose of Zyprexa before bed or so as another poster mentioned would probably be an excellent start.
Good luck.
