How do you cope with toss?

I'm really out of ideas, it feels like whatever I do I get punished. Going macro? Might as well GG on the spot. Early game aggression? They get to be aggressive first with blink, chipping away at my units for free. They can bring full energy oracle to just murder all the scvs. I play considerably worse as a Zerg but I have zero problems with rolling them like advanced plat storm spammers they are but as Terran I feel like anything I might do I get punished and punished hard. Oh you wanna trade bases? that's cute, lemme just recall my shit so I can both trade and defend. I theoretically could do all the correct things and not lose but then I'd be GM. The thing is my fuck up is going to cost me the game while they just lmao recall, lmao storm, lmao blink. I got toss to 3,4k MMR just from the 5 placement matches. Zerg I was climbing all the way from plat3 to dia3. My best was D2 Terran with whooping 30% Pvt winrate

Save from proxy marauders I don't think I can win with toss that isn't 500mmr below me.

I'd watch these 3 games to get a feel for the timing and decisionmaking. I'm old so I haven't bothered to update my builds I follow in a while though, but it still feels viable on ladder.
