Instead of trying to game your entire psyche like other comments suggest, I recommend to founders to find a person you can actually speak truthfully to.

Drop the marketing talk. Stop talking about the peak potential of every little thing. Stop pretending that everything can or should be optimized. Stop pretending that every event is an emergency. Get your mind and body out of crisis mode. Admit to yourself that the failure of your venture is the most likely outcome, that it always has been the most likely outcome, and that thats ok and you can still learn and grow and make a difference even in failure. That you can do everything right and still lose.

The cognitive dissonance of tech has torn down so many people. Don't let it tear you down. There are conscious choices that you have made and continue to make that make you feel the way that you do. Your body is suggesting you change them.
