Going through my toughest downswing. I seek help!

Hi There!

I'm what you would call an anonymous spectator at this site, but I'm still reading a lot of posts in the forum, and I've been playing a lot of poker in my spare time.

I won some tournaments. I've cashed a lot of times. The biggest cash being around 9,000 $.
I consider myself a decent player. I've been playing for 5+ years, and I've been watching a lot of training videos at various coaching sites, read a lot of articles and played a lot of hands. I'm constantly trying to improve my game and my attitude and mental focus when playing.

However, I'm currently going through a rough stretch, that has lasted since around October 2014. Since then I've won nothing. Zero.... Nada....

I've gone over my game again and again. I've checked hand histories through Hold'em Manager. I've experimented with different strategies, mainly in mid- and late game stages, but nothing seems to work for me.

I'm no more than average to Hold'em Manager, so I'm not quite sure where to check how good/bad I'm doing. I've read that an indicator is the ALL-in EV for "bustout hands only". When filtering for bustout hands in tournaments I get a somewhat break-even ALL-in EV line, but a straight declining negative Net-Won line, that's around a total of -7 mill. chips.

It seems as if every time, for the past 5 months when I've gotten all-in in tournaments I've been badbeatet out of it (exaggeration!)

So any help, guidance or advice to a pokerplayer, that's mentally knocked to the canvas?
