Bust at bloomfield

First hand I have KQh, a few ppl limp and I make it 20 to go.
4 way to the flop: K 4 5 rainbow.
Checks to me i bet $50. Guy in front of me raises to $100. Another guy smooth calls and I fold.
Turn is an 8. The guy who smooth called now bets $200 and the other guy tanks forever and finally folds AK. Other guy shows KJ.
Already you can see what type of game is going on here. Really wreckless plays and alot of chips being thrown around.
I reload $100 more.

I took down after that a few medium sized pots and built up my stack to about $450 when this hand comes up:
A few limpers and i make it $20 to go in the Sb with 1010. 4 or 5 of us to the flop which comes:
T 9 7, with 2 hearts. I check it and the BB bets $100. Another guy just calls with $100 and I move all-in for $400 covering them both.
The BB thinks for a little while and finally calls with KK for $300 and the other guy calls too for less with A2h.
Turn J River Q.

After that hand I was down to about $100 and lost it the next hand when i called a raise to $15 with QJs on the button and we went 3 way to the flop which was:
K J x, 2 hearts. They both checked to me and I bet $25. Original preflop raiser smooth called and the turn was a low heart putting out 3 hearts. He checked again and i went all-in for my remaining $75 and he instacalled with AK.

Then i reloaded $300 more and get 55 and decide to limp in late position for $5 and the sb makes it $15. everyone calls and already there's like $75 or $90 in the pot so I raise to $200. This guy calls all-in for $200 with AQ, i lose.

After that hand i was down to my last $100. I doubled up when i spiked a heart on the river and now had $200 when this hand came up:
I limp in the Sb for $5 and it was about 5 or 6 of us to the flop which came:
5 5 7 rainbow. I led out for $20 and got 2 callers.
Turn is a 4 and now i bet $80. 1 guy puts me all in for my remaining $100 so i called and he had the straight already with 36. River wasn't any help.

This is one of the roughest downswings i've faced probably since the Spring. Not really sure what's going to happen now. Might have to take some time off and figure out my next move, we shall see.

Lost earlier today in AC too so down 650+475 for the day. I guess I can't really say i'm playing great poker either, so that in addition to hands not holding up becomes a dangerous combination. Mentally i'm getting more used to the swings but taking an unexpected $1100 hit in 24 hours does hurt. I guess that's just the nature of the game but I can't help but think that I could be doing more to prevent these things from occuring. There are a lot of factors that go into a downswing that go beyond the game and into the psyche of the person. Just like athletes need to compete at their hardest every time they go play, the same applies here. Today I felt as though the 2nd session coudl've been prevented but something was a little off. I was definitely steaming at the table and should've handled myself better; either by quitting the game or taking a break.

Maybe a few days off to clear my head from poker is necessary, we'll see what happens i guess.
