Im a micro limit player who plays prima .10 .20 and .25 .50. I am like 2000 dollers down over 5 months time (own money). It usually starts with me depositing working my way up to a nice ammount then after 4 or 5 bad beats in a row i go on a major tilting session which can lasts up to like 2 days long and everytime results with have a bankrol of 0 dollars.

I recently deposited 180 dollers with the serious intentions of getting a nice bankroll. After 3 days i had 550 dollars just playing solid at .10 .20. After one to many long sessions i start to think i can bluff everyone and everyone is bluffing me. i went down to 400 dollers and went on a huge tilt and within an hour i had nothing ... LOL

I think you already know you have 2 options here:

1) Give up gambling. No shame in that. It doesn't sound like emotional control is your strong point, so your allways going to be struggling against stupid monkey tilt. Find a new hobby.

2) Learn how to play well. Read 2+2 books and this forum. Think about how to solve your tilt issues. Realise that you will only lose money bluffing at microlimits.
