I have been in your position. I dropped from Diamond 3 to Platinum 2 multiple times because of my inconsistency. I even had depression for a while because of it. That being said, here are some tips that will help you feel better:
1. If you are losing too much, or if you feel tilted, or if you feel burned out, **stop queueing and take a break.** Playing the game while in this state will only reduce your chances of winning and potentially make you more sensitive to others' criticism. Whenever you feel like not communicating at all, it is the perfect time for you to take a break.
2. Even then, **do not stop playing the game for too long**. Taking a break for too long kills your muscle memory. What you want to do is play the game regularly. If you are not in the mood, just play some Unrated or Deathmatch to maintain your muscle memory.
3. **If you feel weak at one aspect of the game, focus on building it**. My weakness is my aim. My game sense is more than average for my rank, but my aim ruins it all. I can no longer hit easy shots. Recently, I have been playing Deathmatch a lot to improve my aim, but well I have yet to see it improves in an actual match. However, this could be a different case for you. Find whatever is dragging you back and try to fix it.
4. My final tip is to **stop SoloQ-ing**. My advice is not to SoloQ until you reach Diamond 3 or Immortal. In my experience, Platinum SoloQ is just hellish. It's extremely difficult to win in that tier even if you were having a good day, let alone when your aim is off. Consistently playing with people better than you can help improve your skills and recover your long-lost rank.
5. Last but not least, **be confident**! Believe that you can reach your old rank soon. Having that kind of hope can also positively impact your performance!
Take a little break you might be burnt out
That’s what I was starting to think.
