It seems like OP is well aware that this is part of poker and is trying to learn to build up a tolerance for this natural part of poker. It also sounds like he's aware that quitting is an option, but would prefer not to quit, even for a session. How else would you interpret this?:

As for stack size, it sounds like OP is discussing the opponents' short-stack shoves, not discussing his own stack size.
If OP actually is playing a short stack, playing deeper will increase statistical variance. It might be easy to lose sight of that because it will increase his advantage if he's a skilled player. But despite the ability to make more plays and win without showdowns, unless your opponents are ridiculously weak-tight there will still be plenty of lost suckouts, lost coinflips, and coolers. Those will obviously cost more deep stacked.
