Trying to make some money and improve

Hi all 
First a litte bit about my poker background. I have been playing poker for a couple of years, mostly playing as many tables as possible of 100 and a couple of 200 shots on Party. Even after all the segregation bull**** happend I was doing okay. But I felt like I hit a wall, I autopiloted every day without improving or moving up for good. I tried to cut back tables and focus on learning but everytime I lost a couple of buyins in a Session I found myself falling into old habbits and adding as many tables as I could to "chase" Badly enough it worked out almost always and I ended up autopiloting for a Month again. I experienced a couple of brutal downswings, but my last one was by far my worst. I was running 120 buy ins below EV and because of that I started to play worse every session. My Ev winrate went from positive to negative just like my mindset..I felt like the whole world was against me..how could I deserve something like that ? etc. Finally I took a break, wich I should have done way sooner. I didnt play the entire year until 6 weeks ago. I started with 4 FF Tables on Party and ran like **** again. Another 100k hands and 40 buy ins below ev later, here I am. But this Time is different, I am not Tilt at all like before. I dont act like I dont deserve it, I see the positve in it..I still am a EV winner, I still have much do improve and my ev winrate just can get better. Ive realised if i want to focus more on improving, I should act like it. So I hired a coach and cut back tables to two for now, to really focus every session and not go back to autopiloting. This Thread is a reminder for myself from where I come and a warning aswell..so I hopefully wont fall back into my old "clicking buttons, 18 tabling, its everyonses fault but mine" habit. And improve by sharing some hhs My goal for now is to stick to 2 tables and try my best to concentrate and not autopilot. Since the change my Results have been very good but my volume hasnt..or at least it feels like it coming from 18 tabling... so thats it for now, GL everyone

So a little update
I didnt have Internet for four days, thx to my broken internet modem so my volume isnt that great. Im happy with the results, but I am thinking about switching to regular tables. The main thing that is keeping me from switching is the traffic and table breaking, that is such a pain in the ass. Thinking about adding another site if i decide to playe reg. tables. Anyone some experience on microgaming ? tested about 2k hands on there and dont know if I like it or not so far.
Anyway, graph since the update:
