I do feel for you though. It's such an uncomfortable feeling. I wish mine would go away, but they won't pack their bags.
I think what may help you is finding a healthy outlet for all of this stuff. I think posting about it on PC is a great outlet, but you can also do coloring, writing, and journaling. Have you tried doing those things during OR right after an "incident" like this? I think distraction techniques are important for living in the moment, but we need an outlet for all of this stress.

I extremely rarely have this or some type of a noise distortion. Yet, I do try hard to understand what you and additional members experience.
It sounds like it could be quite disconcerting.
You've done a great job (in your post) helping me to better understand how some chronic and/or chronically recurring symptoms might need to be "down graded" on the scale of what is and is not alarming. Therefore, acceptance plays a big part in managing the symptom(s), it seems?
Thanks for your very thoughtful, informative and compassionate post.
