I thought I leaked urine and now I’m panicking

I’ll try to make this as short as possible.

NOTABLE: I am a severe hypochondriac

In February I started noticing the feeling of always needing to pee and/or that I’m just about to leak. This developed into a deep fear of always having a UTI. This continued for a couple months.

Went to the doc, no UTI. Went to the gyno, all good.

In June, I had a dream I needed to pee, convinced myself I could pee, then woke up in the middle of peeing a bit. Nothing crazy, but enough to terrify me.

Went to the doc, got meds for a UTI just in case, got a bladder and kidney ultrasound, everything came back normal.

At this point, pretty sure my anxiety has caused some bad pelvic floor dysfunction, so I start doing exercises to help with the tightness and it worked (along with my hypochondria moving on to new fears)

Now, today, I’m walking home from work and feel like I’m about to pee a little. All of a sudden, I’m CERTAIN I feel like I just leaked urine. I panic. Get an uber home and in 15 min I’m home and run to the bathroom. When I check my underwear, there’s no wet stain. Definitely damp from sweat but no notable stain or stench of urine. Now I feel like I’m going insane. Am I fully losing my ability to hold urine? Did it dry up already? Did I never even leak? Was it in my head? Truly freaking out and I feel like I’m both going insane and becoming incontinent. Please help.

Stray kitten scratched me 3 days ago. Should I still get the rabies vaccine?

A stray kitten scratched my hand about 3 days ago. It wasn't a deep wound, and when I got home I washed it and applied raw Dettol overnight. I haven't had any symptoms or problems since then.

I'm thinking of going to the hospital tomorrow, but I'm not sure if I should get the rabies vaccine or if a tetanus shot is enough.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? Is it too late to start the rabies vaccine after 3 days, or should I still get it? Any advice would be appreciated.
