I had a recent traumatic hallucination in January of large spiders skittering across my feet (I could even feel then hear them and see them) to hide behind a corner in the main bathroom. I was in psychosis for about two weeks that time and I refused to even enter than bathroom for awhile. Just a few minutes ago the cat was after something and I looked and it was a medium sized spider. I stepped on it but I was terrified and I then went into my bed and I’m still terrified. Don’t know what to do. I’ve never been terrified of spiders before but bc that happened I am now.

I hallucinate giant tarantula sized spiders on the walls. Not really scared of them though. They are transparent. Haven’t seen them for a while.
