I know my ratung is too crap to give people advice, but I'll pass on some that was given me when I posted a similar question - step back, take a short break, do some tactics (CTS) and then come back when you've got back in form. My problem was that I got a coputer so I went chess nuts (instead of just playing at work) and started Blitz and as many other games as I could - I lost what little focus I have and played everything like it was a 5min/0increment game. Anyway - there you go, my penny's worth.

Maybe I'll feel differently should I ever emerge again from the Morlock caves of the 1200s.
