Yeah I have been there as well. I find though that in mtts you have to maximize the times you run good 2 counter the run bad. I for sure have run very badly lately, but I made a top 60 run in the Sunday 15k and didn't maximize my run. I look back at a few hands that I think I played sub-optimally. That's not to say I played them poorly at all because I didn't. But I could have played a little better and given myself a shot at a FT. So yeah.... run bad is a big part of the game, but it's more about the long haul. I know people who have played 1k games plus that are up a few thousand who aren't any good. In mtts I thing 5k games plus is a better barometer, and even then you have to analyze where the profit came from.
