Seminole, I too have not detached as completely as I need to. I have been talking myself down from the anxiety I feel. It is getting easier. Posting in threads here like this helps me too.

Years ago I used to meditate in the mornings and try to maintain the calm positive state throughout the remainder of the day. I think it is time for me to revise the habit.
