It’s hard to stop caring about you’re work. It’s a part of you, you are creating something after all. And often at work it’s hard to let your coworkers down, because the job may be terrible but you like them. It’s wrapped up in our identity. Often when meeting someone new people ask “what do you do?” And the answer is work related. You say you stopped caring, but you are still stressing. You should look at that a bit. Other advice here seems solid, other activities will make work seem like what it is, exchanging your time for money. Part of it is it takes time to adjust. I went from a place where we tried to make software really perfect, to a start up I reported a bug and the CEO told me not to fix it. (In our meeting he assigned it low priority. He said he could see it was bothering me but reiterated to leave it be. He was right, but it hard for me not to care.
