Do any of you have this problem?

It's the equivalent of a placebo effect.
When you lose rating, your brain readjusts and starts believing you should play at that level. You play worse and worse and then eventually you win some. Your brain readjusts and believes all that study and training paid off.

That's life. And according to some, chess is life. Sure it happens regularly. What did you think. That you could put those rating points in a chest and keep them forever, like stolen treasure. And by the way, they are not "elo points." They are lichess rating points. Elo is a particular system used by FIDE/

A single good or bad tournament can easily cause a fluctuation of ratings. If you play in your chess category your ratings will fluctuate less.
