Almost like watching a movie but your a part of it. I would like to get help but it's not that easy.

This happened to me about 10 years ago. I saw children's spines ripped out of them and flung up against the walls at my son's preschool.
This is from "The Bipolar Handbook" by Wes Burgess, M.D., Ph.D.
Q:
I've started seeing blood and guts and people getting killed. Are you familiar with this?
A:
I call this "horror move hallucinations" and I have observed it several times in bipolar disorder. It is as if a scene is superimposed over what you are naturally hearing and seeing and you cannot get it to stop. For example, a knife may be seen falling from the sky and chopping a nearby man's head off. Or a scene of battle and torture appears as if you are viewing everything through a war movie. It is a product of the brain imbalance in bipolar disorder and usually resolves with mood stabilizers or antipsychotics.
