If this is all true, you have nothing to worry about.
Search the threads for SnG simulations. I used the Excel-based one last night. Run it a few dozen times. It's sobering to see the long, deep, brutal downswings that are not just common, but virtually unavoidable in a group of 1000 SnG. Including many +200-buyin runs that started out -40 or -50 buyins.
But, you could also have leaks in your game. Use other's advice on this thread to plug leaks, wait for the upswing when you get some luck, and DO NOT GO ON TILT.
