In my last few months I had a down fall in my rating in rapid. I fell all the way down to mid 1100’s, and I was losing to players that I usually don’t lose to, I once got taken down by a player in 1000’s.

I lately been going threw life issues, does this effect ones game, focus or is just a lame excuse for me losing?

That's normal. Not even life issues, just being frustrated in losing some games would worsen your performance and cause more lost. That sometimes happened to me, once I was 2000 and fell down to lower mid 1800, I was able to get it back just this morning (my morning)
