Does doing bad things in psychosis make you a bad person?

I constantly question myself. I was arrested 2 years ago after making threats against my ex and harassing them nonstop. There was an order of protection put in place. I had really bad paranoid delusions that made me believe they were trying to seriously harm me. The voices would egg me on and tell me they were making false accusations that would ruin me and my family's reputation. I truly believed they were the devil.

I never had any problems with the law or being aggressive before I went into psychosis, however this incident has made me believe I'm a horrible person. I question how much I was really myself while psychotic and if psychosis truly can warp a person into being an awful individual. Before anyone asks, I'm on medication and going to therapy. I'm trying my hardest to rebuild my life but sometimes I get really down.

Has anyone else struggled with self-harm?

I would cut my genitals during psychosis because the voices would tell me to mutilate myself. I haven't cut in a while now but sometimes I hit my head when I get really upset.
