Is there such thing as a Chess orverload or moments you just suck because that's life ?
Yes to both 
Try playing when you've had enough sleep, enough to eat, and you're not distracted (emotionally or otherwise). Warm up with a few unrated games or puzzles. That fixes pretty much everything, but even then it's possible to have a bad day. Be realistic with your expectations (if you're stressed you're not going to play your best) and forgive yourself for losing.
It's completely normal. Sometimes your mind becomes less receptive to the game since you are burnt out. Taking a break and getting enough rest and living healthy will help.
Last week I lost 100 points of my Blitz rating in one session. I was tired and unfocused but did not feel like stopping. That was not the first time. I honestly do not care.
I would felt less alone if it happened to someone else . Is there a cure ? Is there such thing as a Chess orverload or moments you just suck because that's life ?
There's a move in freerunning called the Wall Spin, that is absolutely notorious for being something that has to be relearned multiple times before someone can do it on command.. Like, you literally do it multiple times in one day, then the next day you have to relearn it from scratch like the first day never happened.
Whenever I feel I am slipping backwards, I think about it, because you have to slip backward multiple times before you go forwards. It is just how learning how to do something works.
I be gone even worse. 700 - 500

You are clearly a bit burnt out. Stop playing for a while. Just study your preferred openings and puzzles for a while. Did you know that you can actually improve a lot by not playing for a while, if you are genuinely interested and have the basics down. Your subconscious will work on it for you while you're sleeping, if it's not overloaded with new information from recent games.
enough sleep helps a lot, as i observed when i am lack of sleep i lost most of my games but when I have enough, i won even in the tournamentshttps://www.chess.com/awards/mokmafih/arena/2217477
I just worked hard to get to little 1400, now i cant seem to think straight!
Getting to a new rating plateau is one thing, staying there is another. You might be able to get to 1400, but if u can't stay there comfortably, you haven't fully leveled up.
Also when you're on a losing streak, be sure to have some emotional control to stop before you go too far down.
Hi all,
I've gone from 1447 to 1260 in ten days after year around 1350. Has someone else ever experienced such a loss in such a short period of time ?
