Even if you lose your rating, you will improve. Say you lose 100 Rating LOL, you WILL improve eventually, so you will come back to regain your rating and surpass 1900 Elo!

Your rating has been around the same for the past month. I think you’re good.

You've improved so many points in a few months. You've finally hit a plateau, I was surprised you didn't hit it before. Stop, appreciate yourself and your progress, and finally, just play for the game, not for the win. The points will come as soon as you do all of this. And if you fall below 1800? You didn't become stupider by 100 rating points. You will gain it back. For me, it seems like you think that your rating should improve exponentially. No! A normal chess rating curve has a lot of plateaus and tilts in it. Actually, what you call tilt - losing 3-5 games in a row - isn't a tilt. You haven't experienced a tilt yet. Look at my blitz rating. It was 1670. Now it sometimes falls down below 1500. I don't know why, but I'm fine with it.

I know how you feel. Recovery comes automatically. Play without rating, i've said 3 times now. But you shouldn't be greedy and playing for rating, play for fun without ratig

I had the same thing you are not alone. I was down so many points, lost 6 games in a row and it continued. My match history was all about losses. And yes, ı usually recover in a few days so I thought it would be over soon. But it did not end at all. But now my confidence is back and ı recovered. You are at 1800 points, this is something to be completely proud of. You are better than me and probably better than anyone reading this. So be confident, analyze your losses and I suggest to stop playing for a few weeks, or days. When I stop playing for a while it really works. Your brain will recover, your unconfidence will get away. And say to yourself that even if takes years, this will end. When you play a match, play your best even if you lose. Say to yourself that”I am starting this game and if I lose I will come back stronger later”. You will remember how you played good earlier and start playing better. I hope this works.

You need to stop. Like stop, stop, stop. Stop playing after one game. You have made too much effort to just go back on everything you did. If you reached a rating that means you can go back.

just take breaks, maybe temporarily quit. if you're REALLY interested, then you can continue, but otherwise you just don't need to play it.

I wish I could ever even get close to a elo as high as yours. I have played since I was 7 and I only have a blitz of 900, and a rapid of 1300... I think I should give up on chess...

Tilting is a really common topic on these forums. And I consider myself something of an expert having lost more than 150 elo in a single sitting 😂

The first thing to say is if you aren't enjoying the game, stop playing. It's just a game, and it should be adding to your life, not taking away from it.

But in terms of tilts, this is how I've managed to reduce my tilts and frustration over time:

1. Don't play when tired. If the chessboard is starting to look like a magic eye picture, it's time to wrap it up.

2. Don't play to win...hear me out. 
After a few losses, it's natural to just want to win at any cost. Just hoping for your opponent to make a trivial blunder that will hand you the game. And that's when you play at your worst.
Instead, if you recognize you're in a tilt, tell yourself "I'm likely to lose or draw this game, but I will enjoy the complications". This should hopefully give you back the fighting spirit and resourcefulness that's actually needed to win games. Plus the enjoyment -- go ahead and play the interesting sacrifice; if you go on to lose it can still be fun to see how it played out, and you learned something.

3. Be realistic with yourself. If you get a winning streak against a bunch of 1800 players, then lose to a whole bunch of 1800 or even 1700 players, it can feel like you've been lobotomized.
But in my case at least, if I look at the games in my winning streak, several are games where my opponent was winning and blundered or flagged. 
This is how small the difference between winning and losing can be, so I shouldn't get triggered by games where I was winning and blundered, because my opponents can often say the same.

4. Keep doing practice puzzles like puzzle rush to stay sharp

I've been making so many forums recently... and you know why. Because I've been tilting for the past 1.5 months. I wanna quit chess forever, but I literally can't because I've spent so much time on it. Last forum I made, I lost 4 games in a row, and almost gained all the points back. Well, guess what. I lost 3 games in a row now. Whenever I feel like I've finally stop tilted, I'm finally gonna reach 1900, I'm making a comeback, this happens. I literally remember it. When I reached 1879, in the beginning of my tilt, I dropped to 1857. When I reached 1876, I dropped back down to 1870, which, tbh, was very good considering the other tilts I've had. When I reached 1878, I tilted to 1851. Now, when I had 4 wins in a row, when I finally thought my frickin god forsaken tilt was over and reached 1868, guess what, I got back to 1853. I know some rando is gonna say, I've been thorugh worse, I've tilted 100 points, whatever. But whenever I see some people tilt they recover in like a day, or a few days, or like a week. I've been at this for over a month. I really wanna know how before this tilt I won like 8 games in a row... And I swear if someone is gonna be toxic and say "ohHoHoHoHo little aUtiStic kId cOmpLainIng oVer sOmE pOiNts" SHUT UP

Relax, the last 90 days you have gained 275 rating points. That is a huge improvement.
