I suck it up and deal with it. Yes, bad runs can be irritating. But the bottom line is that poker is a longterm statistical exercise. Variance is your friend because it keeps the fish coming back. If you need a break, take one.

What do you guys do to keep level headed when you sit there and watch every hand you play get cracked?

Get frustrated. And try to remind myself that it'll take a hell of a lot of hands like that before I'm back to even.

I sooooooooooooooooo hate that feeling.

Depending on how I am reacting to the series of hands, I either keep playing or take a break.

Others, I am told, post a whiny thread on 2+2.

Ill sit out from the table for a few minutes and just blast some nice relaxing tunes. Music calms even the most savage beast...
