Sounds like OCD maybe?

Like I get irritated if I’m working on something and I’m not able to figure it out. Literally the world can burn around me but I’ll still be trying to figure my problem out. It’s not very good imo and I’m trying consciously to not be so attached. However if I stop it gives me a headache and I get angry.

I recently lost one of my spoons (I know, dumb) and I literally tore apart my whole kitchen until I found it. I couldn’t rest.

Also had a technical issue last week and when I looked at my phone I had a dozen plus missed calls. Turns out I was in the zone for like 16 hours and didn’t realize it. But the problem was solved.

Used to do the same thing at my job when I was cleaning kitchens in the past. It needs to be clean the way I want or else I’m depressed.
