Sounds like generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). The worry wart anxiety disorder. You ruminate, but don't have OCD-like rituals. You said anxiety "attack".. was it a *panic* attack in the classic sense (brief and intense, sometimes recurrent, sometimes no apparent "reason"-out of the blue), or did you just feel overwhelmed and unable to cope (chronic day-long, hand-wringing stuff, pace the floor variety, about specific topics)? Are you on any meds? What do your doctors say? GAD is what it sounds like to me, anyhow. The distractability is also a symptom (can't focus because you either can't sleep well due to ruminating, or you can't keep your mind off the worries).
