I've had a lot of side effects from insomnia before, but these hallucinations are really something else.
I actually hear people that aren't there. Moving around in my apartment. An hour ago they hummed a rather cheerful song in the kitchen. After that they started whispering to me. That was new. And kind of horrifying.
But don't worry, they didn't tell me to do bad things or anything, though they did talk about some kind of "conspiracy". And then Celtic etymology? It was all rather disjointed, but apparently even the figments of my imagination are kind of geeky.
Notice I'm actually being kind of calm about this? Even though I'm sort of scared I might be going bona fide insane? Anyway I've tried crying, that didn't seem to help, and I've tried to call everyone but of course they're all asleep and can't hear the phone ringing (I really don't blame them, I would so too if I could, it's just kind of a bummer for me right now), so I'm thinking the best course of action right now is bitter resignation. And then if I can keep a smidgen of my sanity 'till Tuesday I can get that sweet, sweet student discount at that doctor's I like.
The question right now is whether to put on a movie or something to keep the scary insane stuff away, or go back to bed and try to sleep (with the risk of the noises returning).
