Definitely practice things that will work on your anxiety and see if that helps at all.
And, as far as I've understood it, it is perfectly possible to hallucinate due to extreme depression (especially if anxiety is mixed in). Also, lack of sleep is a one way ticket to psychotic symptoms as well, so try and work towards better sleep if you can.
Take care and PM me anytime.

I don't have a machine that helps me breath yet, I need one though and hope to get one soon. It is called a CPAP, and there may be one other kind as well I think, not sure though. Yeah I do believe my hallucinations are due to lack of sleep, anxiety, and symptoms of depression. I don't like to diagnose myself, not something anyone should do but I am very certain I have some form of depression and want to tell a doctor about it. I could be wrong, I don't go around telling people in real life about it, but at the same time if I was diagnosed with depression, I would not be surprised due to how I feel majority of the time.
