I have been experiencing similar things. More of sirens/phone ringing sound. But faint sounds more as if in the head. Not outside of it. Does that make sense.
Your welcome! :) Well, you clarified that delusion so you're all set! :) And also, it is very common with anxiety to feel like we have a physical disease of some kind!! As you can see if you read on this anxiety forum :)
Take care, write anytime :)

thanks! just thought I would clarify that the delusion was about the cancer lol :P
Hey :)
it does sound like you're hallucinations are caused by anxiety, and they are all very realistic! All of your hallucinations are of things that happen normally in your daily life, and it is common for young people especially, like yourself, to be listening extra carefully especially if you're afraid, and in my opinion you are listening and thinking about these things so closely that you end up hearing or seeing them. I think with some time, and once you occupy yourself with everyday things and doing what makes you happy, those things will stop happening.
Also, Delusions, in medical terms, are things you believe are real, even when everyone is telling you they are not real So an example of a delusion is believing that the dear you saw was real. However, you know that it was just a hallucination, right? And since you know that it was a hallucination it is not a delusion! Does that make sense?
So anxiety CAN cause hallucinations. i have hallucinated before. When I was a teenager I heard someone call my name. And just last year when I went to see a psychologist, i saw a tear come down her cheek and then realized her face was dry.. Yes, I have been dealing with severe anxiety and depression, but I believe I can get better and I have been doing better!! :) And I think Anyone can!! It sounds like you have anxiety and maybe think and worry a lot. Maybe try to do things with friends, or be practical and occupy yourself with normal daily life. :)
I know being fifteen you probably have a lot of time on your hands, but you are getting older and will be kept busy and all. But also be open with your mom about these things. i'm sure she'll understand, and she will help you feel better, and maybe you can do things with her, like make dinner, or whatever :)
I was honest with my mom when I had a few hallucinations last year, and I was so surprised with her response. My mom is very nice and well adjusted person who has raised 6 healthy kids and is a nanny for other families. And when i told her about my hallucinations she thought it wasn't a big deal at all, which surprised me, and then she started telling me about all the things she saw in her past and I dropped my jaw. And it made me feel so much better!! Then I asked my dad, and he also has experienced some unusual things. So, it's not really unusual, You sound like you're doing pretty good!! :) But definitely be open about it with your family, at least your mom, or family member you trust most, if you are afraid, and that should make you feel better. :)
Let me know how things are going if you want and I'm happy to do my best to help! :)
Goodnight, and keep happy :)
