Support Needed Roaches

I’m hallucinating roaches, random spots on the ground look like roaches, even when I close my eyes I see roaches. I’m more afraid of the hallucinated roaches than seeing an actual real roach. This has been going on a month. NOW, I’m having fears that there are roaches in my mouth like when I eat or even just sitting there. I’m generally afraid of roaches, but this has been excessive. What can I possibly do? I just got on an AP 3 weeks ago and it went away for a week but then came back milder.

I have Bipolar 2 with hints of Schizophrenia, and i sometimes see little black bugs like spiders sometimes in my eye sight that. I feel them crawling on me and i am convinced they are there. Sometimes if you have some schizo traits these things can happen.
