I identify with the fire alarm image too--especially with the compulsive checking. An automatic thought really gets flaming when I do the compulsion and keep checking--my brain goes on "red alert" when I keep fueling it with actions. It's like my brain says, "Obviously if she's paying this much attention to a mole, it must be dangerous, and I shall redouble my efforts to get reassurance that it is ok."
