Colds are miserable. I can be pretty stoic about a lot of physical symptoms, but I'm a mess when I have congestion. I hope you feel better soon.

I do get hallucinations like that when I'm very fatigued or very stressed. I had a kind of... breakdown? ten years ago or so when I had much more extreme hallucinations, but what you're describing is all the happens to me now, and it's definitely influenced by stress.

I hope times moves as swiftly as possible this week <3
