Is it normal to experience psychosis when stressed or anxious?

Question

Okay, so im 18, and when I get really stressed/anxious I hallucinate. It's on,y happened 3/4 times now, I also get paranoid, and I see these people hiding from me or chasing me. 
It leads to a full blown panic attack and I have to run as fast as I can. 
I don't know If I should tell someone like my doctor?
My doctor thinks I have borderline personality disorder, and so I didn't know if this could be linked? Or a symptom? 
It's so fucking scary. 
Also should I tell my uni when I start in September?

Answer

you should definitely tell your doctor.
see how the appointment goes and worry about your uni after you get diagnosed, if anything is going on, health first.

Answer

Yes, you should tell your doctor.

And yes, this can be a symptom of borderline personality disorder. Not all borderlines hallucinate, but it also isn't uncommon for them to.

Answer

I understand when I get stressed or I'm ill I get serious hallucinates and it's awful xx but don't worry there are people like that out there. It's nothing to worry about xx

Answer

You definitely need to tell your doctor. It isn't normal to hallucinate and see things. It's only happened to me once but i was in the hospital for a week with my mom while she passed and I hadn't slept much and my world was crashing and it was the scariest thing to go through. You aren't alone. But you do need to seek help if it happens more than a few times. You don't have to live with an undiagnosed mental illness.

Answer

I don't think you have psychosis but a doctor will know. It's normal to hallucinate with any mental illness, without it being psychosis.
