In my own experience, this is pretty normal. You can get so wrapped up
in something that you start to lose your perspective and your sense of
humor.

When I feel that coming on in work, school, or anything else, I try to
take a few hours or a day or two away from things to recharge and
realign my sights.

Go do something else for a bit...it hardly matters what (bungee
jumping, dry-stone walling, hen-teasing)...you'll be a little more
relaxed when you get back to your regular pattern and you might find,
as I have at times, that your work will seem to have spontaneously
improved. It seems that some of us start to feel as you do when we're
at a crisis point in developing a skill or new area of knowledge, and
you have to back away for a bit to let it all settle in.
