I am wondering if intrusive thinking could be what is happening - thoughts and perceptions and the "voice in our head" can become animated and take on a life of its own and can be experienced as a another voice or entity. Intrusive thinking does occur for both depression and anxiety disorders and I am thinking that perhaps your medical professionals attributed this symptom to that. In terms of seeing things - I am wondering if your experience of anxiety has an aspect of paranoia that cause you to question what you are seeing in your perphial (sp?) view.
