Clearly I suck at $200 NL

Thus far I have been very unsuccessful at 200 NL. Just wanted to post a few hand from this past session to make sure I am indeed playing horribly. I know a lot of you don't like these multi hand posts, but it would be greatly appreciated if I can get some vailidation that I'm not just running horribly right now.

Hand 1: Villain is 23/20/4 over about 500 hands. This was largely tilt induced, but looking back I should have folded the turn correct? I just don't know anymore. Everyone seems to show me the nuts everytime I play a big pot and I think sometimes I see monsters under the bed.

Hand 2: This hand was also laregly tilt induced but I don't know. I was mainly pissed that villain just flat called my 4 bet. Should I just give up. I feel like villain has the same hand here a lot so it is worth betting the flop when he checks to me.

Hand 4: Villain is ZeGrimReaper, might be one of you guys. Have him at 25/22/5.5 over 350 hand. I 'm just not really sure how to handle this when my hand is basically face up. Should I just fold the flop?
