[Malificent]

Thanks for this post. I'm in the middle of a truly horrendous downswing (500BB, not that anyone cares), and it helps to remind myself that I may not be completely at fault for it. I mean, I'm sure that I'm definitely responsible for part of it, but it helps my confidence level to remind myself that I'm not responsible for all of it.

When you're this low, anything that can help keep you from dipping into the abyss is helpful. You're fighting not only the anger against the "unfairness of it all" but that deep seated fear that maybe you weren't a winning player at all and maybe you never will be. And that's a lot to battle at the same time.

I'm hoping that I will come through this dark tunnel into the light on the other side and be better for it. The trick is surviving the tunnel in the first place, I guess.
