I think I can relate to your situation. I suffer from mild anxiety and OCD, and being coop up in a room with no social interaction does eats into your mental well being.
When you are winning, your Return On Investment is good. However, when you lost that $100 in under an hour, you started to factor in the Rate Of Return and it gets into your brain. You could take days or weeks to build up your bankroll but only under an hour to lose 33% of it. I was in this situation as well, we need better bankroll management. But once you've hit the rock bottom, the only way for you to go is UP.
Do not take the profit of $200 and spread it across your entire poker and gambling timeline. You need to realize growing $25 to $200 is no small feat. So try to segment your sessions. For example, you could deposit $25 this week and see how well you do over a week. Regardless of your result, on your 2nd week, deposit another $25 and record down the result. Do this on a weekly basis, and celebrate on a monthly basis when you make a profit. If you make a net loss, start analyzing and get better at your game.

He's undervaluing TS 8x profit due to a short period of time. Basically, he's making a snide remark with a rather condescending attitude for someone who seems genuinely affected by Poker.
