[QUOTE="Stick66, post: 457420, member: 7928"]
Great advice so far. I just want to add 2 things I learned on my own the hard way:
 
1) Never, EVER sit down with more than 10% of your bankroll (I myself am only comfortable with 5%, but that's me). If you multi-table, that means the total of your tables combined. You gotta think of how you would feel if you lost the whole stack you sat down with, especially at NL cash tables. How bad would you feel if you lost $100 or even just $50? Winning is easy to handle, but I think losing should always be taken into consideration.
 
2) You said your "confidence has been smacked down massively". Then you need to do some non-consequential poker-related things to get it back into shape. Play a poker video game or play-money tables. Read some books. Watch some poker shows. Sit down with a friend and pick each other's brains about poker. Also, when you do start wagering real money, start with very low stakes until you get your confidence back. Lower than your $1K BR would dictate. Conquer the 5c/10c tables or the $5 SNG's before you move up.
 
Good luck!
