okay seriously...
Sort:
if you play otb, maybe just try that for a bit, and take your time. Otherwise i suggest finding a way to play long games on tinternet, but in one sitting, so you can concentrate properly, and do that for a bit. For example i know there are people on fics who play long time controls. I cant imagine blitz, or fragmented 'turn based' chess helping much though. 
We all have games like that! Anyone claiming not to, its lies! If it were true you would be one of top players in world a GM and as far as i know, not many round here! To ease your pain, here is a terrible game i played 3m+0sec. ENJOY!
Hope it makes you feel better, and try not to think of your present games as disaster. The long run is most important and look at the good points. Like, was your opening play good? (yes...) Did you go about the middlegame with the correct idea/did you understand the middlegame position(s)? (yes...) Things got complex and you left a few pieces en prise? (yes...) No big deal Just dont make a habit of it and im sure you will get your rating back up there.
lol thx..
I got a game against a good buddy of mine.
Those games are always fun, I tend to play better when my only focus is winning (bad attitude, learning is best... but hey).

You are probably playing too much. Cut down on the number of games. For games here, think more. Good luck

Good point. I was playing way too many games a week or two ago and i cut down. Really made me feel better if anything. Check my blog on 'junk games' if you want.
Take a vacation, chess is also about psychology and state of mind, if you think you're going to play bad then you probably will. Just take a weeks vacation, get your mind off it and come back stronger than ever. :-)
Shotgun...under the table and stare'm in the eye hard. Against a stubborn computer game - boom goes the screen - lights out, no questions,no prisoners. Just blow a hole in the wall now and then or go out and shoot stars. Wait a minute, in the day of meth and what-not this might be taken seriously, I've seen your rating - be happy...umm... my ratings-I got me some stars laughing that need some shootin at
Finally a win!
I didn't play perfectly but my IDEA clicked.. the moves weren't always right but the plan worked... that helps the ego a bit :)
Thanks for the tips guys..
I love the name of this thread
this is the worst chess I've ever played... I"m hanging pieces left and right, my rating is plummeting... I don't get it.. I had SUCH a streak going right before I joined this site and then for a while after I joined it...
This is so frustrating.. even blitz isn't helping
Any other suggestions?
