I keep getting emails about my account trying to be logged into and someone did hack into my iMessages. I changed my password and my Apple ID and was able to hopefully log out of whoever was in my account.

I want to make sure only I am logged in? And if possible WHERE is the location of who is trying to get into my account if that’s possible to figure out?

it’s really starting to freak me out and I’m considering switching plans and deleting all of my Apple accounts if this continues to happen.

Sounds like a scam.

Check your device list to see if there is a device signed in that you don't recognize. You can remove the device using the steps in the article below. As a precaution, change your password.

No I didn’t follow the link. With the email about them being in my iMessages I went to my account and changed my password and with this email I went here to find out what’s going on. Thank you for the information.

Any such email is a scam. Hopefully, you didn't follow any link within those emails to a fake Apple login. If you did, you just gave your credentials to a crook.
