I'm a bit worried that this can be early signs of something major (psychosis and schizophrenia)

but if it happens, it is what it is?

I'll be open and accept it 

Visual distortions are normal from meditation.

@Agrande we create a problem out of nothing many times.

There is a difference between derealization/depersonalization and psychosis. Derealization is a severe neurosis not psychosis.

No, you're not going to go psychotic from meditation.  There is normal reality processing with severe neurosis.
