Hallucinations

is it possible that my hallucinations come from my PTSD? they are almost always of my abuser and of myself as a little girl, which would lead me to believe that they are because of the PTSD. just wondering, does anyone else have them?

sometimes my flashbacks are hallucinations. and i also have hallucinated upon first waking up. i think it can definitely be related to PTSD

I haven't had a hallucination in years. When I did have them it was because of lack of sleep. Without sleep, your mind does all kind of stuff. It makes sense though that it could be caused by the PTSD. You might want to check with your doctor.

Hallucinations can be tied to PTSD. Sometimes it can be difficult to tell a hallucination from a repressed memory.

I did some research on this and found that under extreme stress people with PTSD can become delusional. It's not uncommon.
