As I recall, (with the exception of extreme sleep deprivation, or drug induced) hallucinations are a symptom of psychosis, which can have any number of causes. Anxiety attacks, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder, etc.
I second others that said perhaps it might be good to seek treatment at this stage and give that a chance.
In contrast, 3 psychiatrists/psychologists agreed on my borderline diagnosis, and while I don't necessarily want to agree with it, they probably were right when I look back on it.
