I tried to fight him then and later the doctor in self-defense when they came for me to take me to the hospital. Well, stuff like this. As for visual hallucinations, I only had them in the corner of my eye. I did get some strong olfactory hallucinations. Auditory not really. I remember these psychotic episodes very clearly btw. It was a bit traumatic.

When this happened were you on medication and/or using drugs?
Non-delusional paranoia?
Broad psychotic symptoms are generally associated with BPD. Hallucinations are quite common even in the general population. Being tired and stressed can definitely cause them. Hearing one's name being called, seeing dead people, ghosts and things in the corner of one's eye are some examples of these types of hallucinations. If these happen from time to time and are not interfering with your life they aren't really worth reporting to a psychiatrist. A lot of psychiatrists will not take them seriously unless other symptoms are present that suggest schizophrenia.
Olfactory hallucinations suggest epilepsy.
