I just went through a 500BB downswing. I am sure some of my losses have to do with my idiocy/tilt/what have you. Lately if I have a nice win, I just stop so that I have a positive experience with which to begin my next session. Being results oriented is horrible and I never used to be this way, but I'm doing it. How dumb am I?

Not dumb at all. You can't play your A game without getting your head straight. Ergo do whatever it takes to get your head straight even at the expense of some EV.

I would stop short of pounding your scrotum with a hammer though.
