This happens. My theory is as generalized anxiety or amygdala activation presents itself in response to things, eventually this will (on the principle that neurons wire together) create a generalized state of fear towards everything, including thinking.
It happened to me over time when I had an odd stomach problem that corresponded to random nervous jolts, that I may have developed either as a consequence of enteric infection or bad LSD experience or (I can explain my theories here if someone likes) perhaps both.
In any case, what you have got to do is interrupt the anxiety. You simply must or your situation will worsen. Then you can work on hypotheses.
Find something. There's always help out there, there's always something. IME.
Course of propranolol?
