First loss of my buy-in roll on 25nl

I am new to ring games coming from playing SnG and MTT's for 4 years. I use bitcoin so it allows for me to deposit with a credit card and withdraw with bitcoin nightly and I am not sure if any of you all do this but I don't play with my entire roll on a poker room. I have a credit card simply that holds my roll and at the start of my play, I deposit 4 buyins $100 for 25nl. My stop loss is 4 buyins so basically if the roll is gone.

Last Wednesday where I hit my first stop loss. I looked at my bb / 100 hands and it went down. I have been accustomed to seeing the up mountain going up and up and now with 4 buyins, it went down and now feel pretty bad. I am seeing myself as a donk. Now i feel like i need to punish myself and not not play for a week. I have looked back at my hands and I literally see myself in auto pilot and I see my worst day for me. I wasn't feeling well, felt tired and was 6 tabling and wasn't making good decisions.

Here are my thoughts....

I know he doesn't ...oooh yeah he does, damn it!
I have him killed, no way he has it...
I am just going to jam him for he .... oooh he calls? with oooh yeah the nuts.
My 3 bet will get him off this, nope he jams? damn it I got this

and i felt like a donk. My second rebuy was this and my third buy, i got this thinking I got this, I will win something and it was just horrible.

Anyway, after a bad session, is it ok just take off a couple of days and then refresh your mind? What do you do during these sessions?
