Yeah... my problem is also that I tend to get stuck at one problem for hours and even days and I can't move on! Then many times, the second day you suddenly found a way to solve it. It's really important to learn to have breaks and have boundaries. Being a developer can be a bliss and curse at the same time.

For me I have another problem : no CS as base, so sometimes I also wonder, if I have that, will I have a different way of thinking? a different approach? Will I solve it quicker if I am a CS grad? So... I guess eventually I have to pick up some stuff I didn't learn before.

I don't think that you need a CS degree to become a good developer.
What I would suggest is to practice as more as you can. Try to create projects and build them.
The practice is the key. The more you practice, the more you will be able to solve problems. You will develop a programmer way of thinking, and you'll get used to more and more common issues.
Keep coding! 😀
