Cursed by the double-clutch

Double-clutching downshifts. Seemed like a good idea. Save a tiny bit on the clutch, preserve the synchros a little bit. Get that awesomely smooth in-the-gate feel from the stick. I do it for a few weeks, now I have a problem. I can't single-clutch a downshift any more.

Blipping the engine with the clutch in feels really wrong now, it's horrible. Obviously upshifting without double-clutching isn't too difficult, since you're not having to hit the gas with the clutch disengaged. But to downshift I have to think about it completely to do it. Then I make contact, feel how off the rev-match was, think about that poor clutch plate and curse the day I learned stick.

Anyone ever in that sort of situation?
