In my personal experience, I struggled with blitz quite a bit when I actually took blitz seriously, and similar to you, it was due to time troubles even though I was 1800-1900 bullet at the time. Analysing your recent games, I think I see the problem. You spend way too much time in what I think aren't very critical positions, and you play way too slowly when you're winning. My advice is that when you are in like a non-critical position, try to spend less time and when you are in an winning position, you shouldn't really think at all, maybe playing at half the speed of bullet. Even looking at the most recent game, you really can't be spending 10 seconds in a non-critical in a winning position with 1 minute left.

Forget about your rating- you can keep playing blitz to have fun, and somehow improve your reflexes. Just avoid playing half or fully drunk, like I usually do...
Valid. playing while fully drunk is kinda wild though 
Blitz chess - pure garbage I guess

I wonder what you'd have to say about bullet. The problem is you are slow. Stop thinking, just move. Stop trying to find the best move in every position.

This was my favourite (and to be honest the only) style
if you want to descover every tactics, analyse position, combinatorics by yourself...you will need to have 200 years
