6bet me

I decided to take shots at 5NL zoom. I currently have a 5bb/100 win rate at 2NL zoom over 43k hands, so I thought I would do okay at 5NL.
But the session went horribly. The players were extremely aggressive and were playing like how you'd expect 5000NL players to play. They were constantly making huge plays like double/triple barrel bluffing, hero-calling my triple barrel bluff with Ace high, they would never miss an opportunity to squeeze if anyone flat-called a raise preflop, they would always re-steal when I tried to steal the blinds and often they would even light 4bet me when I tried to light 3bet them! It was insane... I expect that kind of hyper-aggressive action at the super high stakes, but I didn't expect it at 5NL zoom.
In under 1000 hands, I lost 6 stacks, which means I have to win 15 stacks at 2NL zoom to recover from that.
Has anyone else experienced something like this? Ever taken a shot and went on a massive downswing? It just seems like the difference between 2NL and 5NL players is massive...
