If I can't win a free iPod, then NO DICE!

Dude, your tilting over the price of a couple Big Mac combos. Get over it or you will never handle the higher stakes, because the suckouts and bad play never ends. Not even at $5K NL

yea, but don't forget about pokerscow's advice. I mean, come on, how could you go wrong there.
Poker is easy, it's winning at poker that's hard.

Well the first step is to realize that you suck. It's a hard but important step. There is almost no way you don't suck if you manage to loose 30$ straight at 5NL.
Then take a break - look at the articles and videos on this site, and read some posts.
Play short sessions. Only play for maybe 30 minutes a day when you're feeling well.
Play extremely nitty and pay attention to the other players. I think you can even play profitably by folding everything except AA to AK. Marginally, but it's better than loosing at a record rate.
And then gradually open up your starting hand requirements depending on position, if the pot has been raised and what players you are up against.
