No I have never experienced anything like this.  Good to hear you are going to mention it to your dr.

It could be related to your depression, are you really scared of spiders? It could possibly be anxiety related too. Its good that you are going to bring it up with your GP though xx

I should imagine it probably is to do with how you are feeling. I am really scared of spiders too and what  you descibed has happened to me occaisionally, I have noticed it happens to me when I am very anxious or worked up. I'm sure your doctor will be able to help you, best of luck xx

It is worth mentioning this to your GP.  I know when I'm tired and very stressed I think I see mice scurrying behind furniture.  We have a cat that's a good mouser so I find myself looking to see if it was a real mouse or my imagination  "!+

I occasionally 'see' things out of the corner of my eye, just movement usually but nothings there when I look, not sure if its my brain conjuring things up or a problem with my eyes but I'd have thought a recent eye test would have shown up problems there if it was
