sometimes when I feel really agitated I remember to try turning off the music/podcast and go "ooooh so that was it" even though 2 hours ago I absolutely needed that music/podcast to not lose the entirety of my shit

Yes.
Have you all just tried getting a grip?
Hey, that's me! When I go to the water park, I accept their music, when I go camping, I wanna take an axe to the RV of anyone with a speaker outside. I have one but I keep it low enough that I have to be within 10 ft to even hear it, 5 ft to understand it.
I like music. In silence there is almost always something else, far more distracting. A faint conversation my brain wants to listen to, music, just background noise.
I also tried noise generators at some point, but that was weird. White noise is annoying as fuck. Brown noise was better, but it made me sweat a lot when I kept it on, and just added some stress.
The second one but my wife is the first one…
Mostly the former, but occasionally the latter if I can’t control the latter noise.
I should get that diagnosis.
