One reason for losing streaks could be tilt, it's really harmful to one's rating so be careful.

What you're doing right now. Although most people would call it a "tantrum", it's actually caused by tilt and lack of self control.

You should start analysing your games after and seeing where you went wrong so you can build on your previous experience with the game so you can know what to play and when

But you would be cheating then because you said everyone over 1000 cheats and you’re over 1000 so you cheat and how else would you know so you cheat no wonder you are not at 0 rating

Try to control your emotions when you lose (anger, frustration, self-pity, remorse, self-doubt) avoid all these negative feelings. Tell yourself that it is just a game, no one will take you to jail or punish you for losing. Then start to enjoy playing. You are developing your analytical skills and it is never easy.

My whole archive is full of losses, like 95% of the time.

I've tried to analyse every game, but I don't have Premium.

The only things I win against is bots, and I can't even take down level 4 engine.

My rating has gone from 700 --> 300.

This is relatable.

Did you know that you can analyze your games on lichess provided that you have copied the automatically generated PGN? Then you can import the game (pgn) in the already mentioned website and request a computer analysis for free. This website even lets you analyze hypothetical moves to assess the convenience of them (this consumes some of your computer resources though).

Just keep going. Eventually your brain will warm up. I'm speaking from experience. I can't even pinpoint exactly what it is; Whether it's diet or lack of sleep or too much sleep or the weather or the moon cycle. One thing is for certain: Some days are much better than others.
