I've had a tragic losing streak and not really sure why.

Over the course of the last year, my blitz rating has risen steadily from 1300 to a peak of 1700 last month.

Now, it has tanked down to 1550 in a matter of weeks and I'm not sure why. Nothing has changed with my life or chess routine, but I just seem to be losing to opponents that I would have crushed a month ago.

Have you ever dealt with a sudden slump like this, and did it get better?
