Default I reached a critical point....

i become to tight because of the well choosen pressure of my opponets. i always run 21/14/4 till 5/10. significant number of hands.
At 5/10 -esp. 10/20 i did well untill a downsing. Within this DS something changed in my mind. I am not really scared of loosing a BI at 10/20, omg i made sometimes horrible calls for a BI. But i dont "play" with my money anymore. No retarted gambling but making pressure...i lost it and i do not push my edge with pairs/2pairs anymore.
I lost my feeling how i stand in a hand(i guess one main reason are the very good opp. who pick up the right spots to attack me).

Let me show you 2 hands where i can not tell you if they were ok/weak/good.

vllian is a LAG, good one.

Hand 1 pre...meh, postflop?
Hand 2 pre..standard...flop plan c/r....turn lead or c/r
river...because i misplayed the turn I HAVE TO BET here right?

My BR is large enough to "learn" playing at 10/20 but this is not optimal.
How should i proceed? go back to 3/6 rebuilding confidence, working on my game, hire a coach?
or making the same at 5/10?
Sure this a way to make it...and someone will answer MAYBE, but i am more interested in opinions of players who were in a similiar situation.
