Using word 'self-possession'

"Although I am having a difficult time of my life. But I just don't lose it and I am well within my self-posession stil"

Is it okay to use 'within my self-posession' to say I am still in control of myself, my emotions?

sampai012 Is it okay to use 'within my self-posession' to say I am still in control of myself, my emotions? It is unusual but perfectly understandable, and I can't call it wrong, but I would put it a different way to sound more natural. The two fragments are not sentences.
