I have a really bad habit of not stopping when I need to stop.

I'm still bad anyway btw (silver), but I'll get in days where i go like 11-2. and i'll feel AWESOME.
then i won't play for a few days.
I'll get on, and either go more normal (like 60-65%), or I'll start losing. Badly. Horribly. Mechanically, spessi wtf are you doing right now get the fuck off your starcraft.

But i wont. Ill go 1-4, then 1-7, then ill be at 2-16 and it'll finally hit me that my head is just in a terrible place right now. like yesterday. i had 2 terran opponents, 1 zerg opponent, and the 15 protoss. 15. and i lost to every single one. was it because my xvp is terrible? no, not more than any other silver player anyway, but i wasn't being consistent, i wasn't playing right, i was macroing terribly, i was ignoring my hotkeys, i was randomly changing my hotkeys around, and then i wouldnt scout, or i would and then figure, "well im on five bases it doesnt matter that he has 25 voidrays cuz i can just max over and over really fast and whittle them down". basically, i was being retarded on all fronts.
-

what SHOULD have happened:

I went 1-3 and took a break to work on my micro or go do something else for a little while, and analyzed my replays as best i could and then went back into it.

and then if i lost two more in a row stop laddering for the night. go do customs. even if they're custom ladder maps. micro challenge. sit with an ai or empty spot. whatever.

and i think regardless of your skill level, regardless of what you're playing against...if you feel like youre playing like shit...stop doing things that are going to negatively effect you all to hell because of it until you get past it. the key though is MAKING yourself go do something else when you identify it, rather than just say, "well i know my heads not here buttttttt im just going to keep doing my thing and be fine with it"

Don't worry man, I got promoted to masters as well this season and I was doing a bit worse than you. I was facing mid diamonds as well and having a 3-9 loss ratio. Being frustrated, I took a week break and watched some vods, practiced with some friends, and went back to ladder. Now im 18:12 and starting to face high masters! , its just how you perceive the game imo. With a good mindset you can almost never slump
