You hit the nail on the head, man. It's all about the way you look at your losses. I definitely have my quaking slumps as well... kinda feel like I'm in one now, actually. And, yes, there is a lot of outside stress from the real world on me. The worst time to have a slump is when another player you're familiar with is having quite the opposite, and they're just hitting shot after shot, timing everything perfectly, and here you are hitting gib after gib with your rockets and trying not to fall off any ledges. And that's where you need to accept the fact that slumps do and will happen. You're not always going to be on top of your game. There are days you will be beaten pretty badly. Taking a break, like gator said, is a great way to deal with these slumps. Refresh yourself, and come back with a more positive attitude!
going off of sean's comment, I have a few of those articles that Nogame wrote up, along with another one by [xeno]Charger regarding strafe jumping (take it as you will)
