Default Dealing with losing money

How do some of you higher stake players deal with losing money, like alot of it? I have a pretty nice sized bankroll, but I think what holds me back is I am scared to play step 5s oon a regular basis because I dont wanna deal with losing 10 to 20k which will invaribly happen.

How do some of you deal with it, or does it always suck when it happens? I guess its all relative, that a year ago I would of had a breakdown if I lost 1500, now it would be off my mind 10 mins after losing computer screen. Im just looking for some help in how you guys progressed to these levels or deal with losing that much money. Thanks for any help

Think of your bankroll in terms of an investment, rather than $$$.. and also in terms of buy-ins. That way you can see that instead of losing the money, you were simply speculating to accumulate, much like in stocks and shares.
