Frustrated, No Confidence, Need Positive Feedback

Avatar of KingGoKnightKnight

I am beyond frustrated with how little improvement I made over the past year despite all my best efforts, diligent studying, game review, puzzles, etc. Can someone please take a look and give me a little positive feedback. All I want to do is stay above 800 and get to 1000 in rapid. It feels like its never going to happen. This was an unrated game, I did not expect to win, but I absolutely gave it all my effort and attention. Thanks.
