Unfortunately, in a combat situation this is usually revised to read:

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

In Band of Brothers, a solder suffered from hysterical blindness and was stuggling very much with it - dying. One soldier finally told him how HE dealt with the possibility of death. The solder said “When you admit you are already dead, it becomes much easier to cope.”
