Now I’m suddenly 21kyu and I don’t want to play games, because I don’t think I’ll ever win a game ever.
Imagine sliding right back down to 25kyu.

Hide ranks.
It works!
Just don’t look into either your and opponent’s rank.
After few weeks you’ll discover accidentally that your rank increased.

Ah, come on… We all will need some time to get used to our new ranks. 
I might be psychologizing too much, but part of me wonders if you maybe just still were 25k before because your fear of failing held you back. Like, you know, as long as you never get any stronger, you’d never need to be afraid of getting weaker; you’d never need to feel the pressure of proving something. Or so.

I can feel the same sentiment.
That said maybe blitz February will completely destroy my rating anyway 
(well not my blitz rating because I’m sure lots of the blitz games will still be counted as live )
