Losing streak

I started playing chess a few months ago. I have been studying, playing games, and doing puzzles on lichess. In the last day or two, my rating has dropped over a hundred points! I feel like by board vision has decreased. I am hanging pieces like crazy. What can I do to break the streak?

Take break for 2-3 days. Do anything but chess. That’s what happened to me, and now I’m fine

You've joined the site 3 days ago. Your rating is probably still slightly unstable, so losing 100 rating points might be going towards your more realistic rating. In any case, one of the possible advices is to not play that many games in a single day.

If you wish to improve, which I think is the case based on your post, play less games, but think about making them a bit longer. Also, I am seeing that in most games you lose, you blunder very early with a lot of time on the clock. You need to think on your moves, and you need to use your time better. Aim to have less than half of your time left by the end of the game.
