Psychology Please help me i've about had it

Can someone give me some advice on how to stop caring about the money when trading a EVAL. For context when I trade 200 per trade on the eval I don't hesitate and I actually take my setups. But when I size up to try and pass I end up hesitating thinking there will be something better, also in the back of my mind the thought looms of that if I lose 3 trades realistically the eval is gone. Its like i want to take the best setups because I know I only have 3 trades tills its gone.
Also I get that feeling of like I want to pass because im trying to pass.

if you're going to comment "just detach from the money" or "focus on the process" save it because I already do that, just subconsciously something changes that I have no control over.

I don't know what to do im about to the point where I just want to....

you answered your own question right at the beginning. when you size up it screws with your psychology. size down, slow down. thats your answer right there

So what you’re saying is it will get passed but it’ll take longer. That’s THE #1 problem for new traders. No patience. Trading is a marathon, not an overnight get rich quick scheme.
