Yes, it does make sense.
I'll have to try "keeping the eyes busy" too.
And, I don't know if you've got someone you trust or someone who can ground you at all, like I've only just recently found there's someone I trust enough for it, but if you panic at hallucinations, or feel you can't get a sense on reality, you could try call that person. Or if you're like me and can't do phones, he wrote for me on a piece of paper something simple like "Hey Ril, whatever you're experiencing, I know you are safe, (name)". Even if I didn't feel safe, I know I trust him more than my own perceptions. It may be a useless idea, but it's there in case.
