I've noticed that I've been seening stuff out of the corner of my eyes....whether it be a person, a shadow, other stuff....I'm not sure if this is because of my bad eyesight or is it my hallucinations coming back?

I'm getting scared.

If they are hallucinations and you are diagnoised with a condition that provokes them then I would suggest you make an appointment with the physician that diagnoised your condition.

I've already done that. My psychiatrist doesn't act like he believes me...

Do you have glasses? Because if you do do they occur less when you're wearing them than when you're not? It could be an indication of whether it's your eyesight or not...

Maybe it's day dreaming,.

A daydream is a visionary fantasy, especially one of happy, pleasant thoughts, hopes or ambitions, imagined as coming to pass, and experienced while awake. There are many different types of daydreams, and there is no consistent definition amongst psychologists. The general public also uses the term for a broad variety of experiences. Research by Harvard psychologist Deirdre Barrett has found that people who experience vivid dream-like mental images reserve the word for these, whereas many other people refer to realistic future planning, review of past memories or just "spacing out"--i.e. one's mind going relatively blank—when they talk about "daydreaming".

^It's not daydreaming. For one to "daydream" he/she must "imaginate". OP didn't mention that she had imaginated the things she listed in her first post.

It could be optical illusions, which a lot of people get from time to time. Certain objects could be reflected off certain lights which trick your eyes into thinking they're seeing something...some shit like that. Like you've said, most of what you're seeing are shadows as such, which makes me think that slight outlines of objects that are not yet processed or registered in your head are making you believe something is there.

Unless you're adamant that you're seeing very specific objects or animals clearly (in my case, it's always been insects), then there's nothing to worry about.

I mean moments when fantasy becomes reality in strange random ways ex:day dreaming.
