I get angry or frustrated and have anxiety when I am being interrupted. I go "what?" angrily when someone bugs me. My husband said the computer is my main interest so he has to direct me away from it by having me do other things. It's very hard getting myself to quit but yet I have no problem stopping to go to work. I don't know if this counts.

I think that counts, but what is the difference between being really interesting in something as a routine, and say being addicted to videogames you love so much?

I don't do computer games.
