How to get back!
Sort:
I am out of chess for about 5 months for now but all of sudden my friend asked me for a match and that got me back but as expected I was unable to find the ideas I used to before. I was able to beat my friend but when I tested my skills against opponents at my rating range I was just no match. So my question is how should I recover? like should I continue playing and analyzing or something else? I wasn't good before though but still it's like, I was thrash and now I'm super thrash.

You improve the same way anyone else improved. You coming back from a break doesn't change this. You get better (in most things in life, not just chess) through hard work, practice, experience and sticking with it long enough to get desired results.
If you are coming back to chess, then you might "re-learn" some of the ideas you knew quicker because you've already seen it before and it might jog your memory, but overall, you just keep working on your game the same as usual.
