I've lost the past 7 rapid games I've played, most to hanging piece blunders. I don't usually make that many blunders in a row or blunders of that scale, but that's what I've done the past 7 games. Should I get a CAT scan? I'm afraid something may be wrong.

Nothing is wrong your just having a bad day/week
it happens to everyone and you should just pay more attention to the position.
If it has to do with stress or lack of sleep then yes you need to solve both of these problems another thing is excessive consumption of caffiene so you should be careful with coffee or tea as caffiene restricts blood flow to the brain

I barely did any better today I keep losing :(

take a break, watch a funny movie and relax. If you play your next game still angry you lost the last it will carry over. If you play with negative energy bad things happen. Play when your in a good mood try to have fun. good luck

 

P.S. if you lose every time you play why not just take a break from playing and study instead then come back with some new ideas

When I'm in the middle of a nasty losing streak, I find that the harder I try to win, the easier it is to lose. I take a break, read some chess strategy (books or online tips), watch some analysis videos, and come back feeling that I know a little more than I did before. Education is a lifelong process.

It's going to be alright BeepBeep. I really love your username by the way. Try not to stress.
