I was scared so much, and I feel that the fear is still affecting me. I also think that men want to either sleep with me or hate me/want to do me harm etc. i have no hallucinations, well at least that I would know of (how would I know btw.?) ,no voices whatsoever. I'm not sure if this diagnosis is valid without these symptoms.

yes you can have schizoaffective without hearing voices or having hallucinations. Persecutory delusions are what I also have. These can be pretty dangerous so I would strongly urge you to see a psychiatrist if you are not already.
From what you describe it sounds like a prescription of an antipsychotic from a psychiatrist would be on the table. Sometimes it can take awhile to distinguish bipolar 1 with psychosis from schizoaffective. To this day my psychiatrist is not entirely sure which one it is.
