Happens all the time.  Your rating won't be a constant uphill trend, ever. 

I hit my peak 1600's recently and went back to the 1300's shortly after. Then back to 1500's again...

Good luck in your other new hobbies !

Burnout is perfectly normal my friend, don’t be discouraged.

I tilted over 200 points, it happens to us all.

The best players have lost more than any casual, they became so great by learning from these myriad losses and using them for further motivation instead of being discouraged by them.

Stay positive, and good luck in your pursuits, chess related or otherwise.

Lost all chess credibility?

Be happy. The fact that you lost your chess ability means you had it. Wish I could say that.

It’s just a tilt. Take a break for a day or two.

Ability. Not credibility.
