What types of hallucinations do you see?

I get very strange visual hallucinations.. Creatures, like trolls and aliens..I understand some people can't distinguish their hallucination from real life, like they would see a person and meet them but it was actually a hallucination?

Almost yelled at my mom to stop when I thought something was on the ...

These delusions have at times been so real to him that he called me names and was prepared to confront the man he thought I was with. He in not comfortable leaving me alone or ...

Last night I was hallucinating and felt like I was dying. My mother brought her boyfriend over who abused me twice and she denies it.
I'm thinking about suicide all the time. Last night I cut my wrists, couldn't get deep enough and I think I passed out from exhaustion. Then I woke up with my mom in the room asking what I did to my hair.
There was my hair all over the floor, ...
