Default From Winning to Losing SSNL player[advice needed]

Hey guys,
I've been a long time lurker of ssnl and I know I don't have many posts but please bear with me. First of all let me say I used to destroy msnl with a ptbb/100 of about 6 over 125k hands which I know is pretty unbelievable but some sites are just that easy. When I hit nl 50 i was sorta stuck in a rut and went on a 9 bi downswing but soon adjusted and tightened up my game and ran at about 4.4 ptbb/100 over the next 50k+ hands and then moved to nl 100 after some coaching from a really good msnl player. It was then that my two most profitable months happened when i made between 7 and 9k at nl 100. Sorry I don't have my pt stats, my comp got a sick virus and had to reformat without any chance of recovery. It's okay if you don't believe me I expect many won't but yes basically I became super rolled for nl 100 but couldn't move up due to personal financial reasons + lots of ppl borrowing money. Anyway flash forward 4 months and I've started grinding it out again. Pulling in 23k hands this month isn't really grinding I know but I've had midterms/girls/etc. and this happens:



i'm at 19/12/4.2 6max and 12.9/8/3.42 fr
the little variance near the end is nl 50 when i moved down today

i'm tired of blaming it on bad beats although we all know how big of an impact those make, i've lost enormous amounts in this graph on sets v. AA/KK flips (<QQ v AK) etc. and yeah that has made a huge impact on my graphs but I'm wondering why I can't seem to run like I used to. Obviously my 12k+ br wasn't a fluke cause I pulled in my share of hands but now it is getting ridiculous I'm left w/ so little self respect after losing so much at ssnl which I used to dominate.
I have preflop hand selection on my opponents, valuebet in the best spots and know when to squeeze/bluff/etc. but I don't know why I'm still losing. One of the leaks I've found with my game is that I'm not aggro enough w/ certain hands such as if someone c/r me on a J(hearts)4(hearts)10(club) board I will just flat call his c/r w/ AJ and call down and see a made flush on the river. But that's a few isolated hands, I go over all my bigger hands after every session and try to fix leaks as soon as they develop. I don't want to blame it on all bad beats but sometimes looking at my sklansky bucks makes me want to puke. Is this normal variance? I'm quite baffled to be frank. The players aren't good at all I've honestly met like 1-3 players at nl 100 that have maybe outplayed/played back at me enough for me to notice and 0 at nl 50. Do the sites matter that much? These hands are all on stars and I used to dominate Absolute. Should I just redeposit, pull in more hands and pull through this slump? Any advice? Any people feeling the same?
