I had suffered from similar symptoms in my late teens, I had night terrors and mild hallucinations. I was paranoid and often thought my friends were just waiting for me to leave because they hated me.
Eventually I developed severe migraines and I would itch uncontrollably. Constantly. Even in my sleep I would claw at myself and eventually had to go to the hospital because I had clawed through my scalp in my sleep. It all eventually caused me drop out of college because I couldn't cope.
I'd been to doctors dozens of time and the all told me it was my depression manifesting itself as physical symptoms. But nothing seemed to work and I was ready to kill myself because I felt like I couldn't control my body or mind.
But eventually I found a great neurologist and come to find out I had a nerve disorder caused by Lyme disease I had as an adolescent. Now I take one pill a day and I'm fine.
Don't give up. Be persistent and talk to someone. It's worth it in the end.
