So if I take a shot at a recap:
Over 2 years, you built up an $800 bankroll.
A couple weeks ago you doubled it to $1600.
A week ago you lost it all.
Now you wonder if you should be playing $20/40.

It sounds to me like you've been seriously under-bankrolled all along and only needed a bout of bad luck to break you. You're lucky you went 2 years without having that bout.

In order to safely play 20/40 you need (at least) three things:
1) a minimum bankroll of $12K (300BBs)
2) a basic understanding of bankroll management
3) the ability to beat better players, on average, than those that play 4/8.

It doesn't appear as though you have any of those 3 requisites.
