Janice, that is an interesting self-analysis. I wonder if you feel a sort of adrenaline rush when you are hyper-focused on a problem.

I also can see how obsessing can be similar to trichotillomania. Actually, these two phenomena travel together a lot. What I was thinking as I read your post was that hyperfocusing on a problem can be compared to the tension involved in trich symptoms. One way to look at it is that it is a place to channel your anxiety. Another is that your brain gets locked into some sort of loop.

As to how to catch self talk, I think you are already on the right path, coming up with all these insights.
