Chess is a game of logic that requires focus and concentration. If you are feeling sad or angry, this is not the time to be playing a game such as chess. Whatever is causing you to be sad or angry is going to be a distraction and won’t allow you to focus on the game. You might mike a mistake that you normally would not make if you were not competing against your emotions. Your mistake might make you even more angry this making it even harder to play well.
Best to stop playing chess until you can address what it is that is making you sad or angry and then return back to playing once you are in a better state of mind to play.

Hi friends.
I am an artist, writer and graphics designer by profession. So, generally i have a creative mind and my visualization is good.
But i have noticed. When I am calm (usually after half an hour later I wake up in the morning) I play and win games in series irrespective of opponent's rating.
But after 9 or 10 matches, my forehead becomes heavy. Is it human fatigue?
Also, I have noticed that when I am sad, or angry, I lose, doesn't matter how weak my opponent is.
Is there any way to control my emotions while gameplay?
(Generally i play and practice chess from 7 am to 11pm without breaks. Should I limit my gameplay hours?)
