What do you do when you lose 95% of your bankroll on one hand?

I'm not even going to get out the HH for this because I'm so upset at it, but let me just give you the general idea:

I raise in CO with KK
BB calls
2 to the flop

Flop is A A K

BB checks
I raise
BB reraises
I call

Turn is K
BB raises
I reraise
He goes all in
I call

BB turns over AA

My bankroll went from around $400 that hand to $17.62. I'm so frustrated at that, I built that bankroll from $50, and now it's almost all gone. What do you do when this happens to you? I'm so apt to just give up because of this.
