This is a windmill and I got like absolutely destroyed

Yes you did. I see that you won a piece early in the game but then were swarmed by pawns and a few pieces. That was called the Halloween Gambit.

Do you see that 12.. a6 let the bishop into b6 with check? And really helped start the windmill?

It takes a lot of experience to deal with such a situation.

Frankly , once you are that far in, there's not much you can do other than learning from it.

The above starts with a game very similar to your own.

/ I see that you keep playing a player rated much higher than you are. Perhaps you should try a different opponent and see if you have learned from that experience.
