@Eden1919,
That sounds terrifying.
Do you have anyone you can talk to about this? I think you have mentioned elsewhere that you have bipolar - is that right?
Can you get yourself to a doctor asap? Experiencing these symptoms suggests that you might be getting unwell, and medical treatment is needed.
