Final Tally:
-8k. Weird thing is I just feel frustrated. Don't feel sick to my stomach or anything. Just generally pissed at my own lack of self control and pissed with the way I handled the whole night.

I've done this (though not as drastically). It happens. It will probably happen 2 or 3 times more before you really learn to put a stop on it while it's in progress (well if you're stubborn like me). It's so hard to ignore you're inner voice saying:
"OK, you were playing like a dick, you deserved to lose that money. Now just play goot and you'll win it back"
Only, you're not thinking clearly or playing that good still.

So I guess I will get up tomorrow and start grinding again. I've got way more than enough bankroll I just really need some help with my emotional control.

Give it another day, or play way less tables for the whole amount of time, marveling at how easy it is playing so few tables, how good your reads are, and what a great player you are. THEN go back to grinding.

I'm not really sure how I am going to work on it, but we'll see.

Give the above a shot. Also, as soon as I start thinking "That guy just beat me and he sucks. I'll just outplay him and get my money back," I know now that I'm asking to outplay myself and tumble further in the tilt/spew spiral of death.
