Need help with tilting.

I'm quite embarrassed by this but the best thing to do is seek help, i have a major tilting problem. I can grind away and steadily win then i could lose a big hand and all focus goes out the window and i go in hyper tilt mode. My range goes way looser and i'm looking to shove in with the next ace rag i get even though i know i shouldn't. This is a major weakness in my game.




I cut my first ever session (since trying to seriously improve my game and using tracking) short today because of what happened, above is what it looks like.

Here are some of the bigger pots during the session, tese are my biggest losing hands.

I'm extremely embarrassed about the way i'm playing so much so that i alsmost wasn't going to post this but i need to seek help in order to become better. I'm glad i stopped the bleeding at only -$3.31

I understand this is a very long thread, but i'd be greatful if someone could help on maybe good articles, vidoes, books on head game and tilting.

Cheers lads, if you need any more info to get a better understanding then don't hesitate to ask.
