Dot,

Don't wait for your appt., call your therapist tomorrow and tell him/her what is going on. I know that people can get psychotic on meth, but I've never heard someone have a psychotic episode that long after being clean. However, I'm not an expert, so on the other hand I couldn't say definitively that it isn't related.

It's easy to say, "oh, I'll prbably be alright." and not want to reach out and talk to someone when something like this is happening, especially when you in fear of being judged. No Dr., at least no competent Dr., would judge you based on what is happening. What they would want to do is run some tests, refer you to a psychiatrist, and make sure you get some help.

Is there a mental health hot line in your area? It would be helpful to just call and talk to them about it, even a suicide hot line. They've heard just about everything and would not judge you, and give you some good advice.
