Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Your hallucinations are definitely due to anxiety related to fear. Anxiety and depression do produce hallucinations. But you should know that the hallucinations are creations of mind. If you worry about them more and more they become obsessive and the symptoms present itself more frequently. Even a rope may be perceived as a snake for an anxious eye. You may consult a psychiatrist to get medicines for hallucinations. But the better method is to ignore them.

Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
