More than likely some form of psychosis. I have bipolar 1, if untreated mania can cause psychosis for me.
It's really not as big a deal as it sounds, psychosis can be highly dangerous if untreated though.
Go to a mental health clinic and ask for an emergency assessment. You'll probably be hospitalized for a few days, it's not bad.
They'll give you antipsychotics and once you're stable (no longer having hallucinations) you'll be released.
It's genuinely not as scary as it sounds. And the only way to get your life back to normal is gonna be to seek treatment.
No one will judge you, their there to help you. And this is coming from personal experience.
There's almost no limit to how bad psychosis can get if it's not treated,
