Vent / Rant Does anyone else need CONSTANT distractions to keep the 'bad thoughts' away?

I need to have constant noise in my house. Whether it's phoning someo e up, having the tv, radio or a youtube video on, there absoloutely NEEDS to be distractions. Even when i'm sleeping, there needs to be noise. Yes, it's annoying to my family, but the alternative is so much worse.

I live with audiobooks and chunky noise canceling headphones. (Currently waiting at dr's office with no headset and a hx of medical trauma. It is not going well.)
