Am I the only one who gets on streaks where I can hardly beat anybody? My rating got to at least decent, and now even lower rated guys are kicking my butt. I'm relatively new to learning how to properly play chess. about 6 months. Is this normal?

Look what your doing in the games that you win and more importantly the games that you lose. Look where your blunders are.
I’d focus on improving your openings, maybe do the opening principle lessons and try to not bring your queen out early.
Good luck, pal.
