Massive Rating Drops

I used to be rated 1500-1600, but I ended up taking about a year and a half hiatus from chess, since I've started playing again I've dropped to 1300 and having difficulty climbing back up. Has anyone else experienced this? Will I make a come back eventually? Maybe when I shake more rust off?

It looks like you had played 2100 rapid games over three years before you stopped playing. You have only played 69 games over the last 90 days.

That is not very many.

Give yourself at least a couple of hundred games before you start worrying.
