I hit peak “WSOP misery” about XX hours ago! But, am I allowed to feel down for awhile?

I was feeling miserable, sleep deprived, depressed, but told myself, “You are NOT allowed to be miserable! You are Phil Hellmuth! You are healthy, happy, have a great family, have a healthy family, you are rich, famous, and an all-time great poker player. You are NOT allowed to be miserable.”

But, I was miserable anyway because of my results (so far) at the @WSOP. I believe I can allow myself to be frustrated and miserable for a few hours here-and-there. I am NOT a machine. I am a man. I am passionate!!
