Do i need a therapist?

Hello, I've been having some problems and was wondering if this is the right time for professional help. I've never been to a psychologist in my life, always thought i could handle my stress and mental, but now it's just getting overwhelming. Before i tell you my symptoms, I need to let you know that I have IBS and because of flare-ups, i do get very angry sometimes. The symptoms are:

  1. Getting very angry/irritated even at petty things

  2. Getting emotionally triggered even by the smallest things sometimes

  3. Brain fog sometimes so much that i feel like i'm in a dream (this happens most of the times)

  4. Forgetfulness, although i remember having such a strong memory, that i would memorize things just by looking once

  5. Thinking about situations a lot even before they happen and always drawing negative or aggressive conclusions and getting myself ready for that

  6. Anxiety, sometimes so much that i don't even feel safe inside my home

  7. Never feeling safe anywhere and always in "fight or flight" mode

  8. Can't decide how to act 'Good" to people because of the overwhelming emotions, they seem like controlling me

  9. Stress, that never leaves my head

  10. Negative self talk and hating people for nothing sometimes or just petty things and not being rational
    Please suggest based on the above things if i need professional help or not, or am i just overthinking because i do a lot
