Default Somebody help me!!

Lately, I've been really down on sng's. I usually play 10 NL but sometimes I get frustrated and play higher lol. Anyways, to improve my game I've found some of the best players (using Poker Prophecy) on PP and I watch their games while I play. Lately, I've been finishing on the bubble far more than I feel I deserve. I can't win a single race, and it seems as though even if I have my opponent dominated in the eventual all-in scenario, I lose. Can anyone relate? Is it just me? My style in sng's (not in multis) is the typical uber tight early, aggressive late style. I can almost always make it to fourth but it seems as though the bubble has a magnet with my name on it. I guess what I want help with would be basic bubble strategy and general advice for sng's. Lately the bubble has driven me absolutely insane. It's not even realistic anymore. It's like the twilight zone. Today I've busted on the bubble with the following matchups- meQQ vs 55 (four of a kind fives) me Ak suited vs. KJ (pair of jacks) KQ vs. Q10 (strait) and AK suited vs. K2 (two pair k's 2's) and more. Half of the other games I lost can be attributed to bubble frustration. Is this a phase? How do you guys cope with these terrible times? I'm not a bad person but I've had some unhealthy feelings during this period. Your guys' advice would be so greatly appreciated. SOMEBODY out there knows what I'm going through. Btw, I'm new to this site so please excuse the poor layout. Any questions due to empty specifics I will answer. Thank you.
