Looks like you had a big spike in rating, maybe you shouldn’t be that rating and therefore you went back down

Also one dip doesn’t mean that you should quit the game

Don't quit. Your chess rating should not be a reason for you to hate this wonderful game. Just take a deep breath and relax, analyze your games and learn from your mistakes. Don't rush to play more games if you lose or win one, and play with longer time controls so you can think more carefully about your moves.

If losing elo makes you angry or hate the game, maybe it's time to just play unrated games and have fun instead.

Lower rating = rapid rating rise after a break.

Simplesss.

Good advice.

Rating swings like that are not rare for fast time controls. Don't sweat it.
