When running bad at any form of poker, you have to make sure you're not on osme sort of sublte perma tilt where you're making really bad decisions one after another. And by this I don't mean the huge calls or bluffs that cause you to bust from sng's or lose big pot.s. What I'm referring to and what I feel is fairly likely the case in your situation right now is that you are simply playing wrose than usual due to the negative reaction to a downswing. This is totally normal and most players aren't born with much tolercance to subtle tilt. So you're likely just taking bad lines in small pots and are less focussed on making what's objectively the best play right now than you were while you were running well.
So the solution to getting through rough patches of variacne and making sure you're playing your best is to tighten up a bit, play very ABC and don't get too out of line unless you're generally, logcially sure it's a good spot to. Post hands here in our sng forum for other sng players to critique and swallow your ego and think carefully about every piece of advice you're given. Being successful at poker is all about developing a skilled critical thought process and the quickest way to accelrate this is to post hands and study concepts. Examine small pots; hands where you weren't sure whethr to c bet or not, stuff like that. If you patch up your small leaks you'll soon find that getting sucked out on inpre-flop all ins a few tiomes doesn't matter nearly so much.
Stay enthusiastic and positive. Good luck.
