This topic comes up over and over and is experienced by most mortals. It's tough but you need to be patient with yourself. At higher level (no surprise,) your opponents are better, so you get smashed upon improving to another level. I have to repeat my basketball analogy now... I coached a team that dominated B grade for two years until forcibly promoted to A grade. They got smashed the next year even though they were working hard and still improving. It feels unfair but life's like that sometimes. Be resilient and keep working. When you get back there, hopefully you'll be ready and can hold your own.
Honestly, I definitely see where you come from. It feels like you suck at chess and that you could never be the same level you were before, but I am here to help. Although I am not nearly at your level, I completely understand where you are coming from. Losing so many games at once can feel stressful and like you are a beginner all over again. Here are 5 things I suggest you should do.
1. Take time out from your day to analyze your mistakes. What happened? What went wrong? Did you miss simple tactics? Did you get complete swindled into checkmate? Try to identify the problem.
2. Mistakes happen. They happen all the time and you worrying about them will just take you off of your goal and you will likely lose your next game. Don't stress mistakes.
3. Do puzzles for a couple of days and only 1 game. When we do too many games, we begin to feel frustrated and then we lose more. Take a breath, and stop playing so much and return to the basics. Use the puzzles to work on your weaknesses from tip 1.
4. Ratings change. Sometimes they do not reflect your actual level. So be careful to not get hung up on your rating. People who brag about their rating are losers and don't actively love chess, they enjoy being better than others.
5. Lastly, take a long break. Take a whole month off if you please and focus on other things in your life. Refreshing your brain is the best things you can do for yourself. And do not worry about forgetting key ideas in chess, I guarantee you will still remember them. Just relax. Don't worry.
I really hope this helped. I myself am going through a bit of a tilt right now too but once you get back on your feet again, you will be one step closer to GM! I can see it already in your future 
Good chance you'll to take a break in a moment, I'm guessing...
