I lost 13 in a row once. Pressing for quick wins is the surest way to take more losses. Take a break, regroup, consider your place in the universe, m*********, sleep and then get back to it.

Good chance you'll to take a break in a moment, I'm guessing...

This topic comes up over and over and is experienced by most mortals. It's tough but you need to be patient with yourself. At higher level (no surprise,) your opponents are better, so you get smashed upon improving to another level. I have to repeat my basketball analogy now... I coached a team that dominated B grade for two years until forcibly promoted to A grade. They got smashed the next year even though they were working hard and still improving. It feels unfair but life's like that sometimes. Be resilient and keep working. When you get back there, hopefully you'll be ready and can hold your own.
