Hi Tim --- I fully AGREE. No doubt. That is all it is.

I know that i can become irrational/confused/rant and rave when i feel highly stressed or threatened but whether that would be called 'psychotic ideation' i am not sure.

Well, it is true that with certain personality disorders (the ones that the DSM-IV groups under what is called the Cluster Bs), Brief Reactive Situational Psychotic Reaction can occur under extreme stress. I've heard of the ones that happened when the man was when threatened, but I hadn't realized they might not have been under conscious control.. He had told me it was "acting crazy to cause them to learn to back off and never mess with me again." But maybe he just "said that"
But no matter how it is for you, what you describe does not mean you are "Psychotic" or that you "Have a Psychosis". It is a brief reactive situational psychosis.
People with true psychotic conditions don't just get over them within a few hours or days... It is a secondary effect of your personality disorder.
By the way - MOST people have what is called a Mixed or Unspecified PD. So don't feel like you're being short-changed by not having a particular label. Actually, the ICD-M that the rest of the world uses places a lot more PDs under that unspecified classification. You see, the labeling is really an artificial thing to 1) make insurance companies happy (they like labels) and 2) so they have a "shorthand" to indicate to other docs what they THINK they observed and found at the particular time they were dealing with the patient.
But frankly, it is more common than is generally recognized or admitted that the face of PDs can be very fluid.
