Take a break! Everybody can tilt.
Prioritize to learn from you games more than playing new games.
Have fun!

Your last G10 you played and lost. You still have 7 minutes on the clock, so no you're not taking your time and looking at the board.

It’s difficult to show you A-game after several bad games. Next opponent has no idea about your loss streak. So, make a break for 1 hour or 2. Maybe for a day.

Also, check your losing streak and try to understand the reason of it. Were there blunders? Or did you start playing like “I will throw pieces in this opponent and try to win”? How did you manage your time? And of course, your opponents in some games were simply better than you. But you need to review the games and understand the reasons.
In order to avoid blundering, you have to do a couple of things:
1. Analyze your games after you have finished playing. All of them, not just your losses, which some foolishly advise. Preferably on your own, you can use an engine or Chessdot Com's analysis later to see what your own analysis has missed.
2. During the game, you have to be retroactive, as man is a creature of habbit and he may well repeat the same mistakes again, and again if he plays intuitively.
3. Use your time wisely. Actually after looking at some of your rapid games (I couldn't care less about blitz and bullet, which is always a blunderfest at your current level) you are frequently playing a move without thinking at all. I sampled a very short game:
I don't buy that "take a break" thing, as you do not play a gazillion of games at once. You are just playing without following a couple of simple practical rules, and without doing any work to improve your play.
