How the clock do you loose 600 points??? Seriously?
You either cant focus on the game because of some personal issues or you lost one of your hands (which would count as a personal issue as well I guess). I just cant imagine that happening. Falling 100-150 points, ok, playing 5 hours and then end up right where you started, ok, but loosing that many points??

I wouldnt feel too bad. I know how once you're high enough playing feels like you have to bring 100% or it's not worth it but:
a) It's just points
b) Gives you a chance to work on your play without the pressure.

This happened to me. Sick to my stomach, never wanted to play again, dropping dozens of games in a row (~450 points in well under 2 weeks).

What I did was take a break for a week or two. Somewhere in there I caught the GSL, (bought the season ticket) watched intently.
Started catching Day9 and some other caster / analysis.
Started reading up on forums.

Suddenly I was itching to play again. But I was rusty and intimidated.

So I played on Brutal single player, got some achievements, played a few customs, then team games.

Before I knew it I just HAD to play some 1v1.

Sure I lost my first 5-6 games, as you'd expect, but I was chilled and had inspiration, and before I knew it I had won 30 in a row, then after a period of pretty good consistency I got rank 1 in my div.

This cycle has occurred more than once

The other important thing is to realise your points mean shit. If you are really way better than the level you're at, you will start crush some nerds and rank up swiftly. If you are about where you should be, don't be upset, just enjoy the game and learn to be better. As long as you win 50/50 you shouldn't get enraged again. When you do, take a walk for a day or two.

As long as you're above 2100 or so currently, you're bloody good, and you're not a pro-gamer. Everything else is just e-peen. Enjoy being a participant in the game and what it gives you, and if you are really improving you can start using your ranking as a rough metric of that. But it's not a very accurate one unless your matchmaking is consistently the roster of MLG.

God did I laugh.

Also, has some truth attached to it. If I lose 4 in a row my next openent is getting a healthy dose of cheese. It reminds me that ladder should be fun and usually breaks the streak. Once you're out of a streak you're in the clear.
