If poker is your only source of income and your bankroll is only $2000, you should be playing $50NL at most.

You are super under bankrolled. You need to learn about bankroll management. You are in a place where the chance you will go broke is approaching 100%. There is a chart section for this in Schoonmaker's first book. And there are some charts online here, but move down fast. You really seem to have too much of a need to play too high, and if you don't get it under control, you will continue to bust.

1) Drop down. A lot.

2) Go back to school.

Poker is a wonderful way to earn a bit of extra money, but not a lifestyle or career you will enjoy for the next 50 years.
