I swear, I've broken like 3 mice over this game, and screamed various obscenities at it.
WHY DO I GET SO INTO IT?

It probably doesnt help that my kill to death ratio makes me angry.
A puny 1.15.

After coming out of the tourney scene, I cant have fun if I know my kills are less than my deaths. 
TF2 is supposed to be a relaxed game, thats why I <3 <3 <3 it
TF2 is the funnest game ever, dont get raged its just a waste of energy.
But I do know how you feel, I used to get raged in CS, I broke my 5hv2 headset on LAN (lol), its a 120 dolla headset.

Change this and you'll be all good.
Ma$termind came out of a crazystat thing and went into fun.
I supersuck but man do I enjoy the rush of after a few deaths, running and jumping over that heavy and batting his medic to death.
You really need to just chill out and stop getting so into it. TF2 is a game where a player can contribute a lot to the team without getting the kills. If I'm a Heavy and I shoot up everyone in a room a good deal but I don't kill a single one of them I still laid out quite a bit of damage and my teammates will finish them off. Sure, I don't get the stats credit but I really did help my team quite a bit. Just my $0.02.

TF2 is just really good at sucking you in. Most shooters are like this, but because each class makes you aware of something different (Spies on the other team means looking around alot and being aware, Demomen mean looking at walls and cielings, Scouts mean keeping an eye on the background for incoming threats), you really become "aware" of the game and get sucked in.
I, too, was all hyped up on my HLXStats. And I'd get pissed every time I lost 10. And once you get past 4K points, every death pretty much costs you > 10 points. It was very frustrating, and I've shouted things I'm not proud of.
After a while, though, I discovered the fun of not worrying about stats. It was at this time that I removed my HLX score box from my forum sig, so I wouldn't be confronted with it every few hours. And just started to play.
The offshoot is, by just having fun, you don't worry about dying, you get better and better at the game, and naturally start PWNING everyone else more than you find yourself PWNED. My score isn't awesome, but it's pretty dad gummed good now. ANd I enjoy seeing my HLXStats scroll by, it's fun. But now that I'm not worried about hoarding points, I have more fun.
And I bought a pro mouse with weights and jammed every weight in the pack into the mouse, so it's a laser brick. That was most of the solution.

Plus, I have a Logitech G5, wouldn't wanna get frustrated and break this beautiful mouse.

I may suggest a break. When a game gets too serious for you it is break time.
TF2 is supposed to be fun. Worrying about stats in a game like this is a waste of time.

I think the stats tend to be misleading because this is supposed to be a team-based game. My KPD sucks, but that doesn't mean that I'm a bad player or that I don't contribute to my team. Now I'm not about to say that I'm GOOD at this game at all, but I think I contribute my share to the team, and I have a great time in the process. I'll go along with most of what everyone else has said in this thread - bail on paying attention to your stats. The main idea of this game is to have a good time...if you're too serious about it then you probably need to find a better use of your time ;-) It IS just a video game, after all. There's a LOT more to life, and wasting energy getting upset over a game is...well - I'll stop there so I don't get flamed later

I don't know what my K/D ration is.
but i do know what my K/F ratio is. and thats 1:10000
remember the first word in the title is
TEAM Fortress 2!
its all about team. the K/D, and hlstats and suck are there just for tracking purposes. if you ain't having fun. then do something else. I'm one of the lower scored people here and i think my K/D is like 0.000001 or something. but i have fun each and everytime i play AND i contribute to the team. cuz thats my play style. i'll rush in and die if it means it helps the team.

As Hostile said basically.
I used to get pissed ALL the time if my deaths went over my kills. But then I realized that stats change day to day and if you're having fun, you usually perform better in the long run. Occasionally I will go on 2Fort for ranking session, but otherwise I just do my best and help out the team over myself.

haha I know exactly how you feel
if my kpd starts sucking, I kind of start to panic sometimes, and try switching classes constantly, and don't perform
if you worry about your stats too much and pressing TAB 'with the speed of a pneumatic drill' it won't do your stats any good as opposed to just chilling and playing the game
which is pretty much what everyone else said, and it makes sense and all, but come on...
MOTHERCRACKING CRIT ROCKET!!
which is why my table keyboard sliding thing doesn't slide so good anymore =)
edit: and whoever has that 'how about a cup of rage' spray around dustbowl illustrates that really well
