@btsum68, this must be very confusing for you and hard to discern what is real and what is not. I don't think you're making this up. I think you're very brave for sharing this on the forum, especially after telling your doctor was met by disbelief and even ridicule. Thankfully, your mother listened and believed your story.

Hallucinations are sensory experiences that one perceives as real when they’re actually not. They can be caused by medications, substance use, or certain medical or mental health conditions. Treatment for hallucinations depends on what’s causing them.

Do you work with a therapist already? Do you have a trusted medical professional with whom you can discuss this matter?

I see my new PCP for the first time tomorrow and yes I plan on informing her of all the physical/mental issues I am and have experienced, I am afraid of the possibilities of becoming unstable and having to be hospitalized! I know being alone and lonely contribute to these factors and I feel sorry for anyone going through the loneliness that life sometimes offers! Thank you for replying, take care and be safe! @btsum68
