Loud noises, things moving in my peripheral field of vision, people coming up behind me all do it for me.

Because you are firing adrenaline all the time. You need to knock that off before you burn out. If you experience that a little more stress than jumpy is a smooth euphoric calm, you are releasing endorphins.
Johnny, you may be shifting between two highly aroused states and never coming down at all. That will get you dx bipolar. It's also really bad for your body. You've got three states. The one you may be missing out on is mammalian parasympathy. It's the one we are supposed to be in most of the time. Its where things like bonding happen.
You will like yoga and TRE if you try them.
Adrenal fatigue, not so much.
