I don't know if you're going to keep playing or not, but don't let the result itself make that decision for you. Focus on how you feel and how you played, regardless of whether you lost because of bad luck.
If you're having a good time at the tables and feel like you're playing well, keep going. But if you're not enjoying it or you're forcing yourself to play, it's probably better to stop. In the end, it's always best to listen to yourself.

I would recommend starting with a low buy-in tourament and playing a bit tighter than normal in the early rounds while you get your bearings.

My decision is definitely not result oriented - as you say it is more about how I play and whether or not I enjoy it.
Things I missed and enjoyed during this tournament:
- the comradery and chat at the table
- the excitement of making good decisions
- winning pots lol
- the challenges (getting good reads on opponents, knowing when to fold and when to show aggression, etc)
- Having my CardsChat online rail - reminded me how much I love that part of playing in tournaments so will do a better job of setting that up if I play again
- friendly and fun dealers
- the incredible arrogance of poker players
- 2 hours between bathroom breaks
- how long you have to play to even min-cash
- not being able to stay fully hydrated while playing
- Investing a chunk of money while having to deal with all of the above
- unfriendly and boring dealers
Alright you’re rounding again! Good luck in your future events! I think that’s a good idea to come back and not play as many tournaments and just stick to a few select ones. That’s kinda what I do, I only play live in Vegas once a year, so the events I do play it’s just more fun, it’s like I waited all year to come play and I’m not going to let anyone or anything get in my way of having fun!
