I was doing so well, built up to a personal high of 1865.  Then I dropped 45 points. I was like I was cursed. I couldn't see anything.

That is frustrating.  I find that at the end of long sessions I can have long runs of mistakes that I wouldn't normally make, but I get caught in the gamblers bind of "I'm sure I'll win the next one and I'll be back to even" so I keep going and keep losing points.  I think knowing when to have a break is an important skill I haven't quite mastered yet :-).

Regards,
Richard.
