Sudden massive drop in skill

In december or so I came back from a year long break from osu!, the first few days I wasn't very good but after a week or so I was back at my normal skill level. I disliked lower AR on fast songs, and I like fast songs so I decided to learn HR much better. I played tons of HR and relatively fast I started getting better and better accuracy and aim. After HR started getting a little monotone I started playing AR9 DT and very fast songs and my speed improved by quite a bit. After about 1 month of grinding HR / 10.3 DT, I was consecutively getting A's on 7*+ maps, good accuracy and a low UR. My low ar reading was however completely fucked so I decided to start playing low ar songs 4-7*, AR8 OD10 on the easiest ones. After some time my reading got better and my skill peaked the fuck out this entire week. I got A's on 8* maps and could play up to 265bpm casually. I kept the balance of mods to not lose this performance by playing HR/DT and no mod every day. About a little more than a week after this massive improvement (keep in mind I took a break 2 days on this week and I could get back just fine), one day it was just all gone, all of it. I was now worse than in 2014.

1st day I thought to myself "I might just be having a bad day"
2nd day I still know that sometimes you perform worse than usual and don't think too much about it.
But it just wouldn't go away.
We're not talking a casual loss in performance here. Take or give -35% accuracy than earlier on pretty much anything, even after fully warmed up.
After a week like this I decided to take a break for a week, came back and still it's like I hit some kind of wall.
Then I decided to take a long break, 30 days and now I'm here since 3 days ago and still worse than 2014.

I've played this game since 2009 I know I've had my ups and down but what the hell, this case is special.

I know someone will comment about mental blocks, I already try to ignore the whole thing up here ^ but I'm starting to get idk, unmotivated to play

EDIT:
The only thing I can imagine aside from mental block is that I started eating pills against acne around the time my skill dropped, they're rather heavy and have many side effects. I wouldn't think this is the cause lol but it's the only thing I can connect.

The government is obviously poisoning your acne pills in order to halt your progress towards dank pp gains. Consider inviting 22 refugees to your home so you please the government and thus stop them from messing with your mad skills.

THIS IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE SWEDISH GOVERNMENT.
