What sort of therapy would work for me? Ruminating is probably the main cause of it. Now that I’ve refuted my current fears, I find that I can’t wrench the quantum world out of my head. Everything I feel is now tainted by DT.
I am not expert. And it has to be based on facts about your neurosystem. So you could start with several experiments (blod tests etc). You could change diet, sleep more etc.
About rationality and lesswrong → could you focus your fears to one thing? For example forgot quantum world and focus to superintelligence? I mean could you utilize the power you have in your brain?

You’ve mentioned you have a history of inventing arguments with disturbing implications. Have you ever tried to intentionally invent an argument with reassuring implications?
The disturbing arguments might be accidents, but maybe you could create reassuring arguments on purpose? Why let bias or coincidence alone determine the outcome of your reasoning processes, when you can aim towards strategic targets instead?

Heh, no. I can’t direct it.

It’s never intentional for me. They just click into place one day and drive me into a frenzy.

Like what? Most of my targets are the already-existing crises, and it is completely arbitrary how long it takes to find a solution.
I would suggest Taoism, Buddhism, and Stoicism as potentially useful avenues of thought for you to pursue.
