I got to 545 rapid but lost over 100 points in just a few days so no I am not good. I'm thinking about not playing rapid anymore for a while, only blitz. I'm below 400 there but losing 6 to 8 games in a row is less likely there for me and I play blitz just for fun.

Never mind i just lost 5 blitz games in a row in a very bad way. I think about just quitting chess as it seems to be very bad for my mental health. I dont know what im doing anymore and every opponent is just too good for me.
Yes 1000 and 2000 are important stages. You can probably get to 2000 just doing these two things:
1. Play on the regular slow time controls (until 1000, then you can do also Blitz) and analyze your games, especially your losses, so locate your weaknesses and improve over time.
2. Solve chess puzzles on the regular on the usual suspect of sites (lichess, chesspuzzles, chesstempo, if you have diamond also chess.com of course).
You also need a young brain though. Learning chess as an adult wont work that well. Brain just isnt as mallable anymore.
