I need advice

3 days ago I woke up and immediately my mind was racing not with bad thoughts but just about anything and everything it’s like I couldn’t stop myself from thinking and I couldn’t keep a quiet mind. This was also accompanied by me hyper focusing when reading anything. I now have to sound out every word in my head which I feel like I never had to before in my life and it’s making me feel stupid and slow and I feel like it’s affecting my reading speed. Now every time I see a word,logo, or anything of the sort I have to sound it out in my head and I can’t stop. I can’t think straight whatsoever and when a topic comes up in a social setting I really have to pause and think about it which is just adding to the fear of my stupidity. I just need to know if I’m having an anxiety attack or if this a form of ocd. I’ve had prior history of ocd like when I was in my freshmen year of high school anytime that someone bumped into I would have to brush my shoulder off to “catching their bad energy.” I realized this is was weird behavior and forced myself to stop and I haven’t had it since (I’m 19 now.) Also I’ll hyperfocus on my blinking and breathing sometimes and that’ll drive me crazy because I’ll think I’m blinking to much or to fast or that I’m not breathing enough which freaks me out.

I would like some advice on if I should go get help all my previous problems went away on their own but this is new and extremely concerning and uncomfortable for me.

I’m scared to start treatment because of the fear that I’ll need to take medication for the rest of my life just to be normal. The thought of that scares me so much thinking about how it’ll affect other parts of my personality.

Sorry for this being so long and thank you for reading I really appreciate it
