I am in a Massive slump at the moment as well and this is the way i am dealing with it:
1) Taking a break and nothing thing about the game, removing myself from it for 1 or 2 days, even forums and blogs etc. ANYTHING to do with starcraft. This way i come back REALLY wanting to play the game and it give your head a break from the intensity it can be really hard to focus playing SC when you are studying or trying to do something complicated all day. hence frustration.
2) Massing games. This way, its a check, saying that maybe my MMR has gone up and i am just not as good as other players - that can be really frustrating. Just remember that with massing games, every match take a deeep breath, Think about it and start thing about the most basic things in the game, am i scouting? WHAT did i scout? is my macro solid? did i respond fast and appropriately? if i won, how did i win? and if i lost, what did my opponent see? Never try too much to get into next level stuff, it will only give you the illusion of making mistakes.
When i am massing games to help get better/out of slump, thinking about the very basics and thinking in a super structured manner helps so much, and i usually have this sort of discipline to do thing like that, because i have had a big break.
I'm not sure it will work for every body but it sure as hell is working for me.
EDIT: spelling, grammar, all the fun stuff.
