I wonder if there are definitive and different stages of Battered Browns Syndrome?

I've gone from mild anxiety before every game - still watching each game and enjoying it but an underlying feeling that events/results will conspire to keep us out of the playoffs.... To feeling good that we'd make the post season, but to talk about potential and opponents and who we might meet and favorable matchups would somehow condemn us..... To now feeling uber positive about beating HOU but somehow the fact that I think we will win will mean that something catastrophic will/might prevent that from happening. Maybe it's all the same thing ... but it feels I'm making progress.
