Well, although I'm definitely not proud of my blow-up at 200NL + a few weeks ago, I think in the end it will turn out to be a good thing.
The biggest lesson is not to play 200NL until well over 5k. I think I am good enough to beat it; however, I believe I still lack the discipline.
Writing out the long blog post I did (you should check it out) before this one helped my game tremendously. I did something I haven't done before.. I sat down and really truly analyzed everything about my game and my life regarding poker, and was able to get a clearer view than previously and make some changes that were very good.
I cashed out down to 1k$, and when it hits my bank account I'm going to treat myself to a 360 for GTAIV, GH3, and Soul Calibur IV, as well as paying off some debt. This feels good. Often it seems like my online BR is just points in a video game, and when I cash out and realize that despite the blow-up, I made a LOT of money playing a game for fun, it's a good feeling.
Poker-wise I think my HU game has improved even more. I don't feel like I'm -EV against anybody at 100NL or 200NL HU (although I can't really play 200NL HU anymore, I've played probably 30k hands on it and very comfortable with my game at that level). Lately I've just been crushing the HU games.
