How to defend your big blind with a super short stack (under 8 BBs)

I played poker in 2014 but i didn't fully grasp what it was until January of 2015 where i started very aggressively moving up stakes.

In January of 2015 i was playing 25NL/50NL and by June i was playing 100NL/200NL 6max

Start of this year i moved to playing 200NL/400NL/600NL, $40K bankroll ,ran bad, lost a lot of money. (20BI at 600NL, sick one)

Spent 3 months grinding 100NL/200NL again and rebuilt to $40K roll.

for about 8 months now i have been playing 500NL Zoom at 4bb/100, played around 50k hands at 1kNL/2kNL and ran quite good.

taken a few shots at 5kNL losing 10BI and pretty much back to where i was 6 months ago :\

I withdrew around $60k the other day which is worth closer to double that in my country, Im going to be playing the 500NL game for the next year or so with a $16k roll, but if i go bust on that i am done with poker i think, i've watched my winrate drop adjusted for stake about 0.1bb every month, by 2018 i dont think there will be anything left in poker.

Oh and i also binked a tournament for $75k so i figured i may as well get out now than stay in this for to long, never going to play another tournament in my life, except maybe play a few $1k events each year as a hobby.
