What's up with this up down cycle (rant)

I reformatted a couple months ago so this is only since August, but this cycle started happening since January. I slowly build up over a week or so then lose 6 buy ins in an hour or less. Yes I got aggressive in some spots, and ended up getting it in vs a better hand, but that wasn't the only hand in villains range, just got unlucky they showed up at the top of their range. Then when I get it in good, it ends poorly for me. I know thats poker, but 8 in succession? Here are the hands with pots over 100bb in chronological order in the last downswing. I don't expect feedback on them, I know I posted too many of them. I know there isn't much of a point to this post, maybe I need a blog or just a hug...
Am I the only one this happens to? Do I just suck? What do you guys do to keep your head straight when experiencing unfavorable results?
