Every dart player will experience Dartitis at some point in there lives.. The key thing to remember is that it is actually part of the game. Bob Anderson had it so bad that he gave up the game altogether, But I think that was more of a psychological thing the anything else.
Playing good darts comes in waves. (this is actually a proven fact) The more you practice the better you start to get, to a point where you are throwing great darts....This is called a peak.(the tip of the wave.) You will enjoy this for a while but all of a sudden, without explanation, you will start to shoot the worst darts of your life, even worse then when you first started. This is a Valley (The bottom of the wave)..Everybody that plays alot of darts goes through this...
The BIG problem with valleys is frustration, the more bad darts you throw, the more frustrated you become, and in alot of cases people will just give up all together. It WILL feel like the harder you try the worse you get...trust me that is natural, I have gone through about 11 peaks and 12 valleys in the 25 years I've been playing darts. ( the more peaks and valleys you experience the less negative the valleys become.) I'm on a valley right now.
The only thing you can do is just play for fun when you are in a valley, play often, but try to avoid competitive play, just play with some friends over a few pints. And RELAX. You will come out of it. DO NOT under any circumstances, try and fix the problem, don't mess with your release, your stance, your grip or any other part of your game if you were playing really well before this started...All that will do is prolong the valley and frustrate you even more.
The great thing about being in a valley is that it is not a negative thing. Because the natural progression of leaning and getting better at darts IS to experience peaks and valleys, when you are in a valley it means you have progressed that much further in your skill as a player, and when you emerge from a valley your peak will be greater then before and you will play even better then you did before you started to Suck-arse
So leave the frustration behind, suck it up and let it run its course. You should be out of it soon.
Cheers and good luck

Very good post sonicrising and well put. it still pi**es you off though Ahhh...Yes...And the key to the whole thing is to accept that its going to happen and not let it get to you. If you can do that then its alot easier to deal with when it does happen. But not letting it bother you is a whole damned war in itself isn't it. That's why pro's have psychologist that work them on issues like this...The rest of us don't have such a luxury unfortunately, so it just comes down to ones personality and control of emotion. For me, it took a long time to learn this. But when I did, it happened in a second...One day I just said "F*** it" and I just started throwing for fun until my game came back. And I've been doing that ever since...This is not a phenomenon isolated to darts. This happens in every sport. Golf is another big one. Just remember to keep playing, you have to play through it...you don't need to practice during this time, that will probably frustrate you more...but you have to keep playing. Its like a hang-over, only time can cure it.

Liam King (I think his name is ,a pro)
He said all he did was throw at the board, not trying to score for over 6 months when he had it just lots of hard work as time went on he could actually try to aim until it worked and hes back in the pro game
