How many of you would be prepared to admit that you are addicted to poker? And that you can't go without it no matter how hard you try to convince urself?

exactly why i'm going to take limon's advice and get some kind of part time job that i enjoy, then play poker on the side and enjoy it again.

I get episodes like that as I'm sure many other people do. Times when you are playing despite the fact that you are an emotional wreck simply because you have to. To gain x more BB or to win one more tournament or to claw back and break even. Sometimes this means you don't care whether you win or lose because you've reached such a sense of apathetic despair. Other times you're so convinced that you're going to get sucked out on you wonder why you should bother making the play. Whether pushing with 77 really is -EV. And even if it is maybe it'll hold up this time and you can get away with it.
