My life has been really stressful rn, and my rating dropped by 150 within a few days, I'm really stressed because of that as well. What should I do, how should I get my previous elo back ?

Develop resilience by cultivating a positive mindset, adapting to challenges and bouncing back from setbacks.

I would advise simply not playing when you're not in the right mindset. no point in trying to force it. rating will naturally even out over time.

I reached my peak and then dropped nearly 200 points in 2 weeks. Interestingly enough, it was right after I reached my peak OTB. Ha! I lack discipline but I do have peaks and valleys (as does everyone I suppose). So, it'll come back in a while. Don't overly stress.
